What to watch for
The Cavs have their full expected starting lineup available for just the second time this season. Let’s hope they can replicate their success against Washington with another dominant win on the road.
Darius Garland
Garland made his season debut last week, then played the following game against the Wizards before missing Saturday’s matchup with the Chicago Bulls. This will be Garland’s third game of the season — and we’re looking to see if he can continue to be a difference maker.
Cleveland’s offense was shocked back to life by Garland’s debut. His value as one of the league’s best advantage creators was immediately noticeable. Garland scored 20 points and dished 9 assists versus the Wizards in his most recent game.
Garland makes everyone on this team better. Having him back in the fold to re-integrate himself with his teammates — as well as build chemistry with someone like Lonzo Ball — is something to be excited about.
Jaylon Tyson
The sophomore guard/forward has been all the rage recently. Tyson is on a two-week streak of being a super helpful role player. He helped steer the Cavaliers’ second-half comeback over the Bulls on Saturday and has earned the trust of this franchise.
Tyson understands what it takes to be a stellar role player. He plays hard, can defend multiple positions, and doesn’t need the ball to make a difference. Tyson has looked comfortable spacing the floor as a catch-and-shoot threat and is improving defensively each game.
Of course, Tyson has to remain steady for an entire season. That means finding a way to be impactful even when the Cavs are healthy and his role is diminished. Tonight is an opportunity for him to find his niche on the bench. With how he’s been playing lately, this shouldn’t be too difficult.
