Darius Garland

Jerome stepped into the starting lineup with Darius Garland out and made the most of his opportunity Wednesday with a career-high 29 points. He had an incredible first half that included 27 points and 7-of-10 made 3-point attempts. Jerome only played 23 minutes in the blowout, which explains why he didn't do much in the second half. Jerome is clearly a good streamer, but ultimately will play behind Garland and Caris LeVert when those two are healthy.

With Darius Garland and multiple wings sidelined, Jerome and Niang move into the starting lineup for Cleveland's second game in as many nights. Both are worth streaming in the spot, with Jerome being the preferred target. Nothing has changed for Mitchell, Mobley, or Allen.

Garland and LeVert will join Sam Merrill, Isaac Okoro and Dean Wade on the Cavaliers' injury report for the second leg of a back-to-back set. Cleveland is a heavy favorite, and the team is likely giving Garland and Co. some extra time off. Garland's injury shouldn't be considered serious. Craig Porter Jr. and Ty Jerome are expected to see increased run in Garland's absence.

Garland will not play Wednesday against the Pelicans due to left groin soreness.

Mitchell's 35 points were a game-high. He wasn't efficient, but with Cleveland playing shorthanded and Darius Garland shooting 3-of-21 from the field, someone had to take over the scoring load. Mitchell was up to the task as the Celtics only pulled away from the Cavs in the last minute, ending Cleveland's undefeated streak at 15 to start the year. Mitchell had the day off on Sunday so he'll definitely play Wednesday as the Cavaliers take on the Pelicans in the second game of a back-to-back.
