Darius Garland is prepared for this match.
In 35 minutes against the Suns on Sunday, he had 22 points (8-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, seven assists, and two steals.
Garland lit up the first quarter, hitting all five of his field goal attempts for 12 points to help Cleveland jump out to a nine-point lead. However, the Cavs’ guard shot a combined 0-of-7 from the field between the second and third quarters before scoring eight points on 3-of-5 shooting in the fourth. Garland tied Caris LeVert for the game lead with seven assists. He’s now hit at least seven assists in five consecutive games.
Jazz injury reports
| PLAYER | POSITION | UPDATED | INJURY | INJURY STATUS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Collin Sexton | SG | Mon, Jan 9 | Hamstring | Expected to be out until at least Jan 13 |
| Talen Horton-Tucker | SF | Mon, Jan 9 | Ankle | Expected to be out until at least Jan 13 |

Collin Sexton (hamstring) has been ruled out of Tuesday’s game against the Cavaliers, according to Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune.
Sexton will miss his fifth game in a row due to a right hamstring injury. The initial report stated that he would be out for at least a week, so the team should provide an update on the point guard’s rehabilitation process in the coming days. Talen Horton-Tucker (ankle) is also out, so Malik Beasley, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, and Ochai Agbaji should continue to see increased playing time behind Mike Conley and Jordan Clarkson until Sexton returns.
