Garland had 12 points (5-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt), 10 assists and two steals in 22 minutes during Wednesday’s 134-110 win over the Lakers.
Garland didn’t have his best shooting performance and had a rough performance from three-point range, but he saved his fantasy streak with his 10 assists, a season high for him. The emergence of Evan Mobley means that Garland is now Cleveland’s third-best offensive option, which could result in a slight regression in the scoring column but an increase in the assist category. Garland is averaging 17.8 points and 6.0 assists per game to open the campaign.
