CEDI OSMAN NEWS

Big night off bench 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.

Impact 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.

Impact Osman scored in double digits after being held to 10 total points over his last two contests combined.

The forward has struggled to consistently put up points for the Cavs, averaging 9.0 points over his last 10 matchups.

Expands role in loss Friday Osman had 17 points (7-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals in 35 minutes during Friday's 106-95 loss to Sacramento.

Impact Osman stepped things up in the loss, putting together his best game in quite some time. While he does have a relatively consistent role, this performance came with two regular pieces on the sideline. He can be streamed in on nights like this, but he is better suited to deeper leagues for the most part.

Scores 10 points Sunday Osman recorded 10 points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists and three steals in 30 minutes during Sunday's 92-81 loss to the Knicks.

Impact Osman scored in double figures for just the second time in his last seven games Sunday. Seven of his 10 points came in the second quarter as he went 3-for-5 from the field and played nine minutes. He's averaging just 9.0 points per game through 24 games -- his first time averaging less than 10.0 points per contest since 2017-18.

Stellar night from deep Osman totaled 23 points (8-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT) and three rebounds over 29 minutes during Monday's 114-102 win over the Hawks.

Impact Osman stayed hot in this one, as he needed only 10 attempts from the field to total 23 points. He's also knocked down seven of his last 15 shots from beyond the arc over his last two contests after failing to even attempt a three in the two matchups prior. Osman should continue to enjoy this recent uptick in playing time until Caris LeVert (ankle) returns to action.

Massive showing off bench Osman ended Sunday's 113-87 win over the Heat with 20 points (8-17 FG, 4-11 3Pt), 12 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 37 minutes.

Impact Osman had been held to four total points over his last two contests heading into Sunday, but he finished second in scoring on his team and also set a new top mark on the season with 12 rebounds against Miami. His uptick in playing time likely stemmed from Caris LeVert's ankle injury, but it was nice to see this spark from Osman, who could be in for more minutes if LeVert is forced to miss additional time.

Offers scoring boost off bench Osman tallied 14 points (4-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), four rebounds and two assists across 28 minutes in Sunday's 129-124 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact With starters Donovan Mitchell (ankle) and Jarrett Allen (ankle) sitting out Sunday, Osman remained in his bench role but helped pick up some of the scoring slack. Assuming Mitchell is back in action for the Cavaliers' next game Wednesday in Milwaukee, Osman will likely see his minutes get scaled back and should also notice a drop in the 20.4 percent usage rate he took on during Sunday's contest.

Fails to score versus Golden State Osman tallied zero points (0-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT), one rebound and one assist in 21 minutes during Friday's 106-101 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Osman failed to score for the second time this season and hasn't reached double-digit points in his last four games. Osman's poor performance couldn't have come at a worse time, as the Cavaliers only lost by five points.

Drains three treys Osman produced 16 points (6-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Sunday's 117-107 overtime victory over the Wizards.

Impact Osman has been coming off the bench to start the season but has a clear, defined role as one of the top reserves on the team -- he has scored in double digits while playing at least 25 minutes in each of Cleveland's first three outings. While his fantasy value will ultimately be capped by his role, there's no question he's started the campaign on a strong note.

Strong showing off bench in opener Osman ended with 17 points (6-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 108-105 loss to the Raptors.

Impact The 27-year-old lost out on the starting small forward job to Caris LeVert to begin the season, but Osman provided valuable minutes off the bench Tuesday after Darius Garland left the game in the second quarter with an eye injury and didn't return. If Garland's injury proves to be serious and Donovan Mitchell slides over to man the point, Osman could find himself in the starting five after all.

Nears double-double Osman delivered 11 points (3-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), nine rebounds, an assist and a steal across 23 minutes in Friday's 114-108 preseason loss against the Magic.

Impact Osman made the most of his start in the preseason finale. While his shot wasn't really there, it's worth noting that he still produced a solid stat line while ending just one board shy of a double-double. Expect him to be a regular contributor off the bench for Cleveland once the regular season begins next week.
