#Cavs Jarrett Allen sixth and Darius Garland ninth. Fan voting concludes at midnight on Jan. 22 pic.twitter.com/mVjwoQPZUk1:16 PM

Ryan McDonough @McDNBA
I’m glad the fan vote doesn’t solely decide the All Star starters anymore
In the West, AD and Melo are ahead of Gobert and Ayton while Klay is ahead of Booker, Paul and Mitchell
In the East, Kyrie and D Rose lead VanVleet, Garland and Jaylen

As #Cavs Darius Garland drove to the basket for the layup and watched the ball go through the net, he raised both his arms and ran down the floor with a smile across his face. He knew he had the triple-double.

Darius Garland last night:
✅ 11 PTS
✅ 10 REB
✅ 15 AST
Garland is the fourth player in @Cleveland Cavaliers history to record at least 10p/10r/15a in a game, and youngest to do so (21 years, 351 days).
He’s the eighth player in NBA history to record such a game before his 22nd birthday. pic.twitter.com/9EGUl3GPzZ9:01 AM

FINAL: Cavs 111, Jazz 91. Four straight losses, 28-14, no real surprise given who was(n’t) available. 22p for JC. 17/5r/4a for Don. 18p/7r for EP. 12p for Mike. Tiny lil’ Jazz outrebounded 50-32, and outscored 60-32 in the paint. 23p for Lamar Stevens, 11/10/15 for Garland. – 11:14 PM

A well-timed 3-day break up next. How many Jazz players can get healthy? – 11:14 PM
