Darius Garland (PG) vs. Davion Mitchell (PG)
Darius Garland of the Cavaliers has been an impressive performer despite their overall struggles this season. Over his five games he averages 17.4 points and 6.2 assists, showing an ability to both score and facilitate. Unfortunately, Garland’s high turnover rate (5.6 per game) poses some concern. Garland will be essential in exploiting any weaknesses in Sacramento Kings defense that arise.
Davion Mitchell of the Kings showcases a different style. Averaging an average of 6.1 points and 2.8 assists per game, Mitchell serves more as an organizer of game pace and contributes defensive efforts of his team. With his lower turnover rate (1 per game) and higher assist-to-turnover ratio (2.8), Mitchell displays a more controlled style.
Garland and Mitchell will face off in a battle of different styles: Garland’s aggressive scoring and playmaking against Mitchell’s steady game management. Their battle could dramatically alter the course of a game; especially if Garland can exploit Mitchell’s defense or disrupt Garland’s rhythm.
