Darius Garland Could Return as Cavs Face 76ers Tonight

CLEVELAND, OH – The Cleveland Cavaliers are looking to get a boost as they face off against the Philadelphia 76ers tonight, with All-Star guard Darius Garland possibly returning to action. The game is set for Sunday, Nov. 5, at 7:00 PM EST at Rocket Arena.

Garland, who missed the start of the season due to toe surgery, is listed as questionable for tonight’s game. Having him back would be a significant lift for the Cavs, who currently hold a record of 4-3.

The Cavaliers are coming off a tough stretch, struggling to find their offensive rhythm. They have fallen short in getting key players like Jarrett Allen involved and have resorted to excessive three-point shooting without effective rim pressure. However, Garland’s return could help stabilize their offense.

Meanwhile, the 76ers sit at 5-2, looking to rebound from a recent loss to the Chicago Bulls. Star player Joel Embiid is expected to sit out tonight, resting due to the back-to-back game situation. Tyrese Maxey has stepped up, averaging 34.4 points per game and leading the team in key statistics.

Odds favor the Cavaliers by 10.5 points, but they will face a resilient Sixers team, which has shown strong performances despite missing key players.

As both teams focus on securing a much-needed victory, this matchup will be critical in determining their paths early in the season. Fans can catch the game on FanDuel Sports Network locals and NBA League Pass.
