DeMar DeRozan (personal) to return to Spurs' lineup Friday
San Antonio Spurs guard/forward DeMar DeRozan (personal) will return to the starting lineup Friday against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
DeRozan missed the last four games for his father's funeral and he had previously been ruled out again for Friday. It's not clear if DeRozan's minutes will be limited but his return will likely send Lonnie Walker to the bench. Devin Vassell, Rudy Gay, and Patty Mills could also see reduced playing time.
Mills registers a negative-4.4 percent usage differential when DDR is on the court this season while Derrick White averages 0.2 fewer FanDuel points per minute. Per numberFire's NBA Heat Map, the Spurs-Cavs game has the lowest over/under (211 points) of the 10 scheduled matchups.
