Darius Garland struggles in season-ending defeat
Darius Garland accounted for 11 points (4-of-17 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), nine assists, and two steals in 43 minutes in Wednesdayâs 113-98 loss to the Celtics.
Advice: Boston eliminated Cleveland in five games, an unsurprising outcome given the Cavaliersâ many injuries. What was incredibly disappointing about Game 5 was Garlandâs performance. After scoring 30 points and dishing out seven assists in Game 4, he shot 4-of-17 from the field and missed all four of his 3-point attempts. As with Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley, injuries were a significant factor for Garland, as he was limited to 57 regular-season games. While his value in 8-cat formats wasnât far from his Yahoo ADP (40.3), he failed to crack the top 100 in 9-cat. Selecting Garland within the top 50 of standard league drafts wouldnât be a bad idea, but fantasy managers canât be blamed if they decide to look elsewhere next fall.
