NBC SportsDarius Garland (toe) is out for Friday's game against the Spurs.

Friday's game is the first of two in as many nights for the Cavaliers, who host the Warriors on Saturday. Garland's absence opens up a spot in the starting lineup, which Lonzo Ball could fill since he's available. He's worth streaming in deep leagues when given this role, but the fantasy ceiling is limited.
