One of the biggest reasons why the Cavs are playing as well as they are this season, Darius Garland is averaging career-highs in points (19.5), assists (7.3), field goal percentage (47.9), and rebounds (3). It is possible the Cavaliers can weather the storm while Garland is out, but they are definitely a better team with him in the lineup.
