Darius Garland drains game-winner in victory
by Bruno Mulé | Cavaliers Correspondent | Thu, Feb 6th 9:46am EST
Darius Garland delivered a clutch performance Wednesday, finishing with 25 points (8-of-18 FG), three rebounds, five assists, one block, and four three-pointers, including a game-winning deep three at the buzzer to lift Cleveland over Detroit 118-115.
Fantasy Impact:
With Donovan Mitchell (shoulder) sidelined, Garland stepped up as the Cavaliers’ offensive leader, attempting a team-high 18 shots and knocking down four triples. The 25-year-old point guard has been on a scoring tear, putting up at least 25 points in six of his last eight outings. His increased scoring load, paired with his playmaking responsibilities, keeps him firmly in the top-tier of fantasy guards. If Mitchell remains out, Garland’s usage and fantasy ceiling will continue to rise heading into Cleveland’s next game.
