More than halfway through the regular season, Kenny Atkinson mentioned his desire to find rest days for some of the team’s key players.

Add Darius Garland to the list as he has been ruled OUT for tonight’s game against the Miami Heat. The Cavs have deemed Garland out for “rest” reasons. Garland is averaging 21.7 points and 6.8 assists this season as the Cavaliers lead floor general.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have lost three of their past four games, putting them in unfamiliar territory. The Cavaliers, of course, still hold the best record in the Eastern Conference and put themselves in a great position to lock up the No.

Donovan Mitchell had 34 points, Evan Mobley had 22 points and 15 rebounds, and the Cavaliers led wire-to-wire in a win over the Miami Heat Wednesday.
