• Cavaliers' Cedi Osman: Stays hot in back-to-back set

  03/09/2020 •

  Osman contributed 19 points (6-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six assists, four rebounds and two steals in 37 minutes Sunday in a 132-129 overtime win over the Spurs. Osman paid dividends for those who kept him in lineups for both halves of the Cavs' weekend back-to-back set, as he amassed 39 points, nine treys, seven assists and four steals between the two games while hitting exactly half of his shots from the field. His season-long 44.2 percent mark from the field probably means his recent offensive production probably can't be relied on, and Osman might end up losing out on both minutes and shot attempts once rookie Kevin Porter (concussion) is eventually cleared to play again.

• Cavaliers' Cedi Osman: Hits 20-point mark in win

  03/08/2020 •

  Osman gathered 20 points (7-12 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, two steals and one assist in 38 minutes during Saturday's 104-102 victory over Denver. Osman had failed to reach 20 points in each of his previous 21 games. This should tell you enough about his fantasy appeal, something that is limited to deeper formats at this point. With that being said, his playing time has been up over the past three games. Should that continue, he may have limited streaming value across 12-team formats.

• Cavaliers' Cedi Osman: Scores 13 points in start

  Osman recorded 13 points (3-14 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 4-4 Ft), five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 42 minutes in Wednesday's 112-106 loss to the Celtics. Osman started and logged a season-high 42 minutes in the loss with Andre Drummond (calf), Tristan Thompson (knee) and Darius Garland (groin) all out. Additionally, rookie Kevin Porter Jr. (head) was forced to leave this contest early. Osman had an ugly shooting night (21.4 percent), but it's hard to ignore this type of playing time. If three or more of these injured players are forced to miss Saturday's matchup with the Nuggets, Osman will be a solid daily-fantasy option based off sheer volume.

• Cavaliers' Cedi Osman: Scores 14 in loss to Jazz

  03/03/2020 •

  Osman posted 14 points (6-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 39 minutes during Monday's 126-113 loss to the Jazz. With Darius Garland, Tristan Thompson and Andre Drummond all sidelined, Osman was given one of his biggest workloads of the season. He played well, scoring in double-digits for the first time since Feb. 22. Still, it's been an underwhelming season for the 24-year-old forward, who has followed up signing a four-year, $30.8 million extension by averaging 10.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.4 assists.

  Osman totaled 19 points (6-15 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 3-6 FT), seven rebounds and seven assists in 37 minutes during Saturday's loss to Miami. Despite providing owners with a nice all-around line, including a season-high seven dimes, Osman's efforts yielded a minus-22 net rating on the night. While the 24-year-old's made improvements to his efficiency this season and is shooting a career-best 38.5 percent from beyond the arc, he's still plagued by consistency issues on the offensive end. Overall, Osman's generating 11.0 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.9 threes in 29.1 minutes per game.
