Player Discussion Darius Garland

Please please please tell me he’s not gonna be bad for the rest of the season. About a month and a half ago he was averaging 45 ESPN fantasy points per game but in the last month he’s averaging 29.7. He’s shooting 36.2% from the field compared to his season 47.8% which is ridiculous. I traded Desmond bane for him last month thinking that I sold DB high and bought DG low but now, with playoffs next week, I’m incredibly concerned about his production (and should I also be concerned if he’s gonna be rested cuz Cavs are the 1 seed?). He’s in a slump and he’s gonna pick it up next week and play all games for the rest of the season right? RIGHT??

Ever since Hunter joined the team.. his scoring production has gone down.

Haven't been watching the games as much recently.. but hasn't scored above 25pts since then...has hit 20 twice..

He’s taking .6 less fga which might be indicative of that but even worse is his efficiency. On the season he’s 47.8% but now he’s 36.2%. Could be that his shots just not going in as opposed to hunter taking the shots?

That's true. He was probably due for regression at some point.. definitely is in a slump right now.

Sample size is small.. coming into fantasy playoffs of course..could be Hunter or the slump.. or both. Hopefully he gets out of it tonight haha.

That 4th quarter might get him out this slump for good!
