Brandon

Goodwin

Bickerstaff even said that he is a believe in “Playoff Rondo”. While this doesn’t mean that the Cavs will be benching All-Star guard Darius Garland in favor of Rondo, it does likely mean that we’ll see a lot of minutes from him and very few from Brandon Goodwin. Rondo played 25 minutes in their last game, which was a blowout win over the Bucks. Before that, he was seeing around 14 minutes per game, and he’ll likely play around that amount while mirroring Garland’s minutes during the postseason.

This was Rondo’s first game in three weeks, but he was the first guard off the bench tonight, and completely erased Brandon Goodwin from the rotation. Rondo will likely have his minutes managed over Cleveland’s final three games, so he’s not a great target in most leagues.

Rondo has been out for a few games now, but he appears ready to make his return. He’ll serve as the backup point guard, which will drop Brandon Goodwin out of the rotation. Neither is worth rostering in any fantasy lineup.

Rondo remaining sidelined won’t have much of an impact as far as fantasy basketball is concerned. Brandon Goodwin will continue to fill the backup role, and he isn’t worth streaming due to the presence of starter Darius Garland.

Rondo will remain sidelined for at least one more game, which keeps Brandon Goodwin in the backup point guard role. He won’t be worth streaming, as starter Darius Garland has logged heavy minutes in Rondo’s absence.

As expected Rondo will miss a fourth consecutive game, meaning Brandon Goodwin will continue to see an increase in minutes off the bench.

With Rondo unlikely to play, expect Brandon Goodwin to see increased minutes behind Darius Garland.

Rondo missing another game won’t have an impact as far as fantasy is concerned. Brandon Goodwin will remain in the rotation as Darius Garland’s backup, and he isn’t worth playing in any fantasy league.

Rondo will miss back-to-back games, meaning Brandon Goodwin will continue to backup Darius Garland. Rondo was only rostered in 2% of Yahoo Leagues so this news won’t affect anyone trying to win their league.

Rondo sprained his ankle during the third quarter, with team trainers accompanying him back to the locker room towards the end of the frame. He did not return, and the question now is whether or not he’ll be available for Monday’s game against the Clippers. If not, look for Brandon Goodwin (two points in five minutes) to re-enter the rotation. Neither he nor Rondo is worth rostering in any league so long as Darius Garland is healthy.
