Daniel’s stats have been down across the board all season in pretty much every offensive category.

With Szczerbiak out one week, look for Daniel to take this opportunity to make the most of his minutes. Daniel is averaging 23 minutes/night, down seven minutes from last season. He should average double figures and at least a couple of made 3’s with the additional playing time.

Update: Gibson scored 10 points and collected seven assists Tuesday night in New York.

Analysis: Gibson, who has struggled a bit with minutes and shooting, only shot 2-of-8 from long range, but still squeezed out 10 points. The best part of the night for Gibson was the seven assists he dished out, which were a season high. Gibson is still only shooting 36 percent from long range and is only playing 23 minutes per game, so you may need to look for a better solution at your flex position until he comes around.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESSCLEVELAND - Cavaliers guard Daniel Gibson had arthroscopic surgery on his left ankle Tuesday and is expected to be ready for training camp.

The second-year guard, a restricted free agent, had the operation in his hometown of Houston. The team said he is expected to start rehab next week.

Gibson sprained his ankle Feb. 20 at Indiana and sat out 18 games. He missed the final two games of the playoff series against Boston with a separated shoulder.

One of the Cavs’ best outside shooters, he averaged 10.4 points in 58 games. He was named MVP of the all-star rookie/sophomore game in New Orleans when he made a record 11 three-pointers.

Update: Gibson is expected to miss two weeks after separating his shoulder Wednesday night in the Cavs’ Game 5 loss to Boston, the team’s official site reports.
