Impact Garland scored 20-plus points for the eighth time over the Cavaliers' last nine games and recorded his sixth double-double during that stretch. In March, the second-year point guard has averaged 26.3 points, 10.8 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 39.3 minutes per game. Garland has completely put the back issue that caused him to miss eight games in February behind him and appears set to dominate during the stretch run.

Volume-based 22 points in loss Garland accumulated 22 points (5-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 11-12 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 118-114 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Garland scored more than 20 points for the fifth consecutive game, but he's also shot under 40 percent from the field in his last four contests. Mired in a miniature shooting slump, Cleveland has payed the price -- dropping three of their last four games. Garland is a keystone in the offense and a huge factor in orchestrating the Cavaliers' lineups.

Leads team with 25 points Garland provided 25 points (9-24 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 42 minutes during Saturday's 101-91 loss to the Bulls.

Impact Garland's shot volume saved his fantasy totals as he wasn't remarkably accurate in Saturday's loss. As usual, his assist and rebound numbers came through, but he led a Cleveland offense that underperformed, especially from beyond the arc. The Cavaliers converted only five three-pointers in the loss, and Garland missed all three of his attempts.

Claims another double-double Garland amassed 24 points (4-17 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 15-16 FT), 10 assists, two rebounds and one steal in 36 minutes during Friday's 117-105 loss to the Heat.

Impact Garland came away with his fourth consecutive double-double, and though he took a rough night from the field tarnished his overall output, the elite free-throw shooting may have gone a long way toward swinging that category for managers in head-to-head playoff matchups. Poor shooting nights from the field are few and far between for Garland, whose 47.5 percent mark for the season is well above average for a starting guard with a 27.3 percent usage rate. The third-year guard continues to build a strong case for being one of the NBA's most improved players this season.
