Garland contributed 29 points (14-23 FG, 1-4 3Pt), six assists and two rebounds across 33 minutes in Tuesday's 120-116 win over Indiana.
With Donovan Mitchell (rest) unavailable, Garland took on an increased workload on the offensive end and led all players in scoring, finishing with more than 25 points for the first time since Dec. 22. However, the star point guard struggled from beyond the arc once again, and he has shot just 25.8 percent from three-point range over his last five outings. On a more positive note, he led the first unit in assists Tuesday, dishing out at least six dimes for a fifth straight game.

Cavaliers' Max Strus: To miss at least four more weeks
Rotowire
Strus (foot) is expected to miss at least four more weeks, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports Tuesday.
Strus hasn't yet made his season debut, and he needs even more time on the shelf to recover from offseason left foot surgery. It's unlikely the swingman will be ready to play until sometime in February at this point. In the meantime, Sam Merrill and Jaylon Tyson should continue helping fill out the minutes on the wing.
