The Miami Heat are all set to host Cleveland Cavaliers for Game 3 in the ongoing first-round NBA Playoff series on Saturday, April 26 at the Kaseya Center. All eyes would be on star player Darius Garland, whether he features against the Heat or not.
Will Darius Garland play against Miami Heat?
The 25-year-old point guard sees his name on the team's injury report. He is listed as questionable as the Cavaliers face concerns over his availability status. Garland is currently suffering from a sprained left big toe.
The two-time All-Star suffered his latest injury while playing in Game 2 against the Heat. In that match, he played a key role in helping the Cavaliers take home a comfortable 121-112 victory over the Heat. Garland recorded 21 points, two rebounds and nine assists, shooting 6 of 14 from the field, including 2 of 8 from 3-point range. He featured for 32 minutes in the Game 2 against the Heat.
Garland was in the thick of the things not just for his performance but also for his postgame comments about Miami's Tyler Herro. The point guard openly admitted that their defensive strategy is to target Herro on every possession down thew floor.
The Cavaliers are hoping that Darius Garland recovers in time and starts Game 3. His absence would pose a threat on Cavaliers as Heat might take advantage of this. If Garland doesn't start the game against the Heat, then Cavaliers have enough firepower to manage without him. Ty Jerome will be called upon to fill in for Garland.
The Cleveland Cavaliers currently lead the seven game series 2-0 and if they win the Game 3, then it would be very difficult for the Heat to play catch-up.
