Darius Garland has been ruled out for Wednesday’s game against the Thunder.
Fantasy Impact

Garland finished Tuesday's win over the Mavericks with 22 points (9-of-18 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), four assists, two three-pointers, one steal, and one block.
Fantasy Impact
The scoring was there on manageable volume, and the all-around contribution makes it a useful fantasy line even on a night Kawhi Leonard was clearly the dominant force offensively.
Five turnovers in the first half contributed to a 16-point Clippers halftime deficit Tuesday, and while Garland settled down after the break, it wasn't enough to complete the comeback — 20 points (7-of-17 FGs), four assists, three three-pointers, two steals, one block, two rebounds, and five turnovers in the 114-104 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Fantasy Impact
The result snapped a five-game winning streak, and the turnover total is the one thing fantasy managers need to keep an eye on as he closes out the season.
Darius Garland scored 24 points (9-16 FG, 5-9 3PT, 1-2 FT) to go along with four rebounds, six assists, one steal and one block in the Clippers 119-94 win over the Raptors.
Fantasy Impact
Garland was able to bounce back from a low-scoring game for him on Monday. He posted his fifth game with the Clippers knocking down at least five shots from deep. He'll remain in a big role at point guard down the stretch for the Clippers.
