With Stephen Curry struggling in recent times, Garland has kept the point guard position alive. He has scored over 25 points in the last four of his 5 games while dishing over 8 assists per game. In his recent performance, the first time All-Star posted 26 points and provided a whopping 19 assists against the Sixers. Despite his stellar night, Joel Embiid and James Harden crashed the party and took home the win for Philadelphia.
The Cavaliers are currently the 6th seed with a record of 36-27. While Garland has put up dominating performances, they have lost their last 3 contests. With the Raptors only a few games out, they need to step up as a team to secure their spot in the playoffs. While there is no guarantee of a result, one thing is for sure: Garland is going to keep putting his mark on the game.
