This week marks a significant turnaround for the Cavs, as both Evan Mobley and Garland will be back in action.

Garland sustained the jaw injury during a game against the Celtics on December 14 when he collided with Boston's center Kristaps Porzingis while making a routine drive to the basket.

Throughout the season, the 24-year-old guard has been a key Cavaliers player, averaging 20.7 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 5.9 assists per game during his 34 minutes on the court.

As of now, the Cavaliers boast a solid record of 28 wins and 16 losses, positioning them at the 5th spot in the Eastern Conference standings.
