Osman (ankle) was at the Cavaliers' morning shootaround ahead of Friday's Game 3 against the Knicks, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Osman is questionable for Friday's matchup due to a left ankle sprain, but his presence at the team's shootaround is encouraging. Over his first two playoff appearances this year, he's averaged 7.0 points and 3.5 rebounds in 21.0 minutes per game.

Osman is questionable for Game 3 against the Knicks on Friday due to a left ankle sprain.
EDGE Analysis
Osman is in danger of missing his first game since March 8 on Friday. He has logged 19 and 23 minutes in the first two contests of the series, respectively, so his potential absence could result in more playing time for Danny Green, Lamar Stevens and Isaac Okoro.

Osman will come off the bench for Saturday's Game 1 matchup with the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
Osman started the Cavaliers' final two regular-season contests with most of the team's starters sitting out for rest reasons. However, with Cleveland 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.

Osman closed Thursday's 118-94 victory over the Magic with 19 points (7-11 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and four assists over 22 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Osman got a starting nod with Cleveland resting its normal starting lineup, going on to lead all starters in scoring and shots made in Thursday's victory. Osman has tallied 15 or more points on 15 occasions this season.

Osman will start Thursday's game against the Magic, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Cleveland resting its entire starting lineup, Osman moves into the first five and will be joined by Ricky Rubio, Dean Wade, Lamar Stevens and Robin Lopez. This marks Osman's first start of the campaign, but he's played at least 30 minutes 12 times, averaging 15.6 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.3 steals during those contests.

Osman contributed 14 points (4-9 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, two assists and one block across 21 minutes during Friday's 130-116 loss to the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
With the Cavaliers close to securing home court advantage for the first round of the playoffs, they could look to get some rest-related maintenance for their key players. If that happens, Osman will be a prime candidate to step into some freed up usage in the final four games.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Osman (back) is available for Friday's game versus the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
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.
