Strong two-way effort Thursday Garland closed with 26 points (9-16 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, nine assists and four steals across 33 minutes during Thursday's 113-95 win over Houston.

Impact Garland stepped things up on both ends of the floor, falling one assist short of another double-double while also adding multiple steals for the fifth straight game. With Donovan Mitchell still sidelined due to his groin issue, Garland has been able to shoulder more of the offensive load, scoring at least 20 points in 10 of his past 11 games. He has been a top-15 player over the past two weeks, rewarding anyone who took a chance on him in their drafts.

Drops 22 in loss to New York Garland closed with 22 points (6-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 8-10 FT), four rebounds, six assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 105-103 loss to the Knicks.

Impact The 22-year-old continues to look good since returning from a thumb injury at the beginning of the month. Garland has scored at least 20 points in five straight games and nine of the last 10, averaging 22.7 points, 8.5 assists, 3.6 boards, 2.3 threes and 1.1 steals over that stretch. If Donovan Mitchell -- who may have aggravated his groin injury at the end of Tuesday's loss -- ends up missing more time, Garland will be the go-to guy in the Cavs' backcourt.

Scores 21, hands out 10 dimes Garland ended with 21 points (9-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 assists, three rebounds and two steals across 36 minutes during Saturday's 114-102 victory over the Bucks.

Impact In the three games since backcourt mate Donovan Mitchell (groin) exited the lineup, Garland has averaged 25.3 points, 11.3 assists, 3.3 rebounds, 3.0 three-pointers and 2.0 steals in 38.3 minutes per contest. Those numbers are all above Garland's season averages, and the young point guard should continue to notice a slight boost in production if Mitchell remains sidelined for additional games to come.

Strong double-double Monday Garland posted 30 points (9-22 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 11 assists, six rebounds and one steal over 40 minutes during Monday's 113-103 victory over the Pelicans.

Impact Garland took over in the second half, ending with a team-high scoring total. Monday's game was only the fourth time he has scored at least 30 points this season, as he has afforded more of the offensive load to Donovan Mitchell. However, Mitchell was unable to finish the game Monday, leaving with what is being described as a groin strain. Should Mitchell be forced to miss time, Garland may be required to shoulder more of the scoring responsibility.
