He also dished out at least five assists for the fourth time this season and recorded a campaign-best three steals.

Osman's inconsistent playing time throughout the campaign has resulted in meager per-game averages of 8.2 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.5 triples over 19.4 minutes, making him an afterthought in all but the deepest of fantasy leagues.

Records 17 points Osman chipped in 17 points (7-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and one assist over 22 minutes during Monday's 124-99 loss to the Clippers.

Impact With 17 points, Osman posted a new season high. This was the second game in a row in which he scored in double figures, and it was his sixth of the campaign. Osman's minutes have been trending up with Devin Vassell dealing with a groin injury, and so far, he's making the most of them.

He is averaging 12.0 points (59/50/67 shooting splits), 1.4 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 20.8 minutes per game and has carved out a consistent bench role for the new-look Spurs.

Scores in double figures Osman closed with 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt), two assists and one block over 22 minutes during Wednesday's 126-119 loss to Dallas.

Impact Osman had one of the worst seasons since his rookie year during the 2022-23 campaign, averaging 8.7 points and 2.3 rebounds in 20.1 minutes per game over 77 appearances. However, he'll get a fresh start this year after being traded to the Spurs in July. While he came off the bench during his team debut, he managed to score in double figures during the narrow defeat. Victor Wembanyama's playing time during his team debut was somewhat limited due to foul trouble, so it's possible Osman's minutes drop once the No. 1 overall pick is able to keep his fouls in check.

Not starting against Houston Osman is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Houston, Andrew Lopez of ESPN reports.

He averaged 8.7 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.5 steals and 1.5 triples across 20.1 minutes this past year.

Returns to second unit Osman will come off the bench for Saturday's Game 1 matchup with the Knicks.

Impact Osman started the Cavaliers' final two regular season contests with most of the team's starters sitting out for rest reasons. However, with the team at full health, he will retake his bench role. Though Osman has shown the ability to be a solid fantasy contributor when his shot is falling, it's unclear if he will garner a large enough workload to be in fantasy considerations.

Struggles despite favorable matchup 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.

Impact Osman barely troubled the scorers Sunday, delivering yet another underwhelming performance.

He is barely inside the top 300 for the year, making him a non-factor in just about every fantasy format.
