• Cavaliers' Cedi Osman: Will play in Wednesday's game

  4D ago • By RotoWire Staff

  Osman (back) will come off the bench Wednesday against the Wizards, Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com reports. The Cavaliers are being cautious with Osman who has been out for a week with back spasms and will "monitor his minutes" Wednesday. It is unclear exactly how many minutes Osman will play, or how long any restrictions will last, but it's a positive sign that the Turkish forward will be able to play. So long as Osman's run is limited, J.R. Smith should play a larger role albeit less than the 31 minutes he's averaged over the past three games.

• Cavaliers' Cedi Osman: Double-double in loss to Magic

  12D ago • By RotoWire Staff

  Osman scored 11 points (5-17 FG, 1-9 3Pt) while adding 10 rebounds in 43 minutes during Monday's 102-100 loss to the Magic. It was a woefully inefficient performance, but Osman still recorded his second double-double of the season. The 23-year-old has been forced into a role he doesn't seem quite ready for on a threadbare Cavs roster, but as long as Osman continues to see significant court time -- he's averaging 33.1 minutes per game after getting only 11.0 minutes as a rookie last season -- he'll have some fantasy value in deeper formats.
