Darius Garland vs. Pelicans — Primary Facilitator in High-Total Matchup
Darius Garland enters Sunday healthy and slated to start at point guard as the Clippers look to snap a seven-game losing streak.

While 5.3 turnovers per game over his last six outings remain an obstacle, his role and 90% start rate keep him locked in.
