Osman contributed five points (2-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt) and two rebounds over 17 minutes during Sunday's 108-91 win over the Rockets.
Osman barely troubled the scorers Sunday, delivering yet another underwhelming performance. He has now failed to score more than eight points in three of his past four games, continuing what has been yet another disappointing season. He is barely inside the top 300 for the year, making him a non-factor in just about every fantasy format.

Cavaliers' Cedi Osman: Big night off bench
Rotowire
Osman provided 24 points (8-13 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three assists and two rebounds across 31 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 120-104 win over the Hornets.
The 27-year-old saw his biggest workload since Feb, 2 with Jarrett Allen (eye) out of the lineup, and that was also the last time Osman scored more than 10 points. His bench role doesn't typically afford him much fantasy upside when the Cavs' roster is healthy, but Osman could be an intriguing DFS option if Allen misses additional time.

Rotowire
Osman (back) is available for Friday's game versus the Hawks.
Despite being listed as questionable with a low-back contusion, Osman will suit up for the second half of the Cavaliers' back-to-back Friday. He played 27 minutes Thursday but struggled with his shot and scored just five points.

Cavaliers' Cedi Osman: Questionable for Friday
Rotowire
Osman is questionable for Friday's game against the Hawks due to a low-back contusion, Danny Cunningham of 850 ESPN Cleveland reports.
Osman was sidelined for the Cavaliers' final contest before the All-Star break due to neck spasms, but he returned to action Thursday and posted five points (2-8 FG), three assists and two rebounds in 27 minutes. However, he appears to have picked up a back injury during that contest, and his status for the second half of Cleveland's back-to-back is now in question.

Cavaliers' Cedi Osman: Not listed on injury report
Rotowire
Osman (neck) isn't listed on the Cavaliers' injury report for Thursday's matchup against Denver.
Osman missed Cleveland's final game before the All-Star break due to neck spasms, but he appears to have benefitted from the extended time off and should be back in the mix Thursday. Before his absence, Osman had appeared in 24 straight games and posted 8.1 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 18.3 minutes during that stretch.

Cavaliers' Cedi Osman: Dealing with neck spasms
Rotowire
Osman is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the 76ers due to neck spasms.
Osman was a late addition to the injury report, along with Ricky Rubio (illness). If both of the backup guards are ultimately ruled out, Caris LeVert and Raul Neto would be the primary backups behind Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell.

Cavaliers' Cedi Osman: Erupts for season-high 29 points
Rotowire
Osman ended Sunday's 122-99 victory over the Clippers with 29 points (11-13 FG, 7-7 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block across 22 minutes.
Osman was just about flawless from the field in the win, putting together easily his best game of the season. Up against an undermanned Clippers team, Osman was able to get to his spots with ease while also chipping in three combined blocks and steals. Though his performance is sure to turn some heads, it came on the back of unsustainable shooting, and Osman also saw a slight uptick in playing time while the Cavaliers were down a key frontcourt piece in Kevin Love (back). Osman had averaged 8.2 points in 17.4 minutes per game on 46.9 shooting from the field over his prior five games, and that level of efficiency, playing time and scoring production is probably more representative of what to expect from him moving forward.

Cavaliers' Cedi Osman: Leads bench in scoring
Rotowire
Osman chipped in 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal across 25 minutes during Friday's 120-114 loss to Golden State.
Osman put together a strong performance off the bench by shooting efficiently from deep. His contributions were a welcome sight after being held to 12 total points in his last six contests. Osman's workload was also a promising sign, as he'd been averaging 10.0 minutes over his last six appearances heading into Friday's matchup.

Cavaliers' Cedi Osman: Underwhelms again Saturday
Rotowire
Osman produced six points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one assist and one steal across 16 minutes during Saturday's 110-102 loss to Minnesota.
Osman logged fewer than 20 minutes for the fourth consecutive game, continuing what has been a lean season. While he has had moments of relevance, on the whole, it's been a season full of nothing. Despite averaging 22.6 minutes per night, he currently sits well outside the top 250 in 12-team formats, leaving him well off the fantasy radar, even in deeper formats.

Cavaliers' Cedi Osman: Minimal impact in loss
Rotowire
Osman supplied zero points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one assist across 11 minutes during Tuesday's 116-114 loss to the Jazz.
Osman scored in double figures in six consecutive appearances between late December and early January, but he's seen his playing time drop off over the last two games now that Evan Mobley, Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell are all back on the court. Osman has totaled just three points over his last two appearances.

Cavaliers' Cedi Osman: Pops for 15 points Friday
Rotowire
Osman notched 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and two steals across 28 minutes during Friday's 121-108 loss to Denver.
Osman scored in double-digits for the sixth consecutive game, continuing what has been a solid run of production. With a number of players having missed time recently, Osman has been the player to step into a larger role. While the scoring has been nice, he remains outside the top 150 over the past two weeks, meaning he should be looked at as a points streamer only, at least until the Cavaliers are fully healthy.

Cavaliers' Cedi Osman: Drops 19 off bench Monday
Rotowire
Osman had 19 points (6-13 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds and four assists across 36 minutes off the bench during Monday's 145-134 overtime win over Chicago.
The 36 minutes represented his largest workload since late November, as Evan Mobley (ankle) missed his second straight game and Kevin Love fouled out late. Osman took advantage of the opportunity, scoring in double digits for the fourth straight contest and the sixth time in his last eight, a stretch in which he's averaging 13.0 points, 1.9 threes, 1.8 assists and 1.6 boards. The 27-year-old's lack of secondary stats limits his fantasy appeal, but Osman's been a reliable source of offense from the Cavaliers' second unit.

Cavaliers' Cedi Osman: Drops 12 points in return
Rotowire
Osman closed with 12 points (4-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and two assists across 25 minutes during Saturday's 103-102 victory over the Bulls.
Osman returned after a one-game absence due to a back injury, logging meaningful minutes off the bench. He has now scored in double digits in three straight games, though his supporting stats are nothing to write home about. He is a regular feature in the rotation and yet currently sits well outside the top 250 in standard formats.

Cavaliers' Cedi Osman: Sitting out Thursday
Rotowire
Osman (back) will not play Thursday versus the Pacers, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Osman popped up on the injury report following Monday's tilt versus the Nets and was listed as questionable initially before being ruled out. It's unfortunate timing for Osman, who is coming off double-digit points in three of the last four games, but his next chance to play now arrives Saturday in the Windy City.

Cavaliers' Cedi Osman: Questionable Thursday
Rotowire
Osman is questionable for Thursday's game against the Pacers due to low back soreness.
Osman appeared in the last six matchups and averaged 12.2 points in 21.5 minutes per game during that time. He was a late addition to Thursday's injury report, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to suit up against Indiana. If he's unavailable, Lamar Stevens and Kevin Love are candidates to see increased playing time.

Cavaliers' Cedi Osman: Big night off bench
Rotowire
Osman ended with 22 points (8-10 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 24 minutes off the bench during Monday's 122-99 win over the Jazz.
It's the third time this season he's reached the 20-point plateau, and his first such performance since he dropped a season-high 23 on the Hawks on Nov. 21. Osman's production remains inconsistent, however -- he's scored in double digits only five times in 14 games since then, averaging 9.3 points, 2.8 boards, 1.3 assists, 1.3 threes and 0.9 steals in 24.6 minutes a night over that stretch.
