Osman is questionable for Friday's game against the Hawks due to a low-back contusion, Danny Cunningham of 850 ESPN Cleveland reports.
EDGE Analysis
Osman was sidelined for the Cavaliers' final contest before the All-Star break due to neck spasms, but he returned to action Thursday and posted five points (2-8 FG), three assists and two rebounds in 27 minutes. However, he appears to have picked up a back injury during that contest, and his status for the second half of Cleveland's back-to-back is now in question.

Osman (neck) isn't listed on the Cavaliers' injury report for Thursday's matchup against Denver.
EDGE Analysis
Osman missed Cleveland's final game before the All-Star break due to neck spasms, but he appears to have benefitted from the extended time off and should be back in the mix Thursday. Before his absence, Osman had appeared in 24 straight games and posted 8.1 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 18.3 minutes during that stretch.

Osman (neck) is out for Wednesday's game versus the 76ers.
EDGE Analysis
Osman has been downgraded from questionable to out Wednesday due to neck spasms. Lamar Stevens, Caris LeVert and Isaac Okoro are candidates to see extended minutes in his absence. His next chance to suit up will be after the All-Star break on Feb. 23 against Denver.

Osman is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the 76ers due to neck spasms.
EDGE Analysis
Osman was a late addition to the injury report, along with Ricky Rubio (illness). If both of the backup guards are ultimately ruled out, Caris LeVert and Raul Neto would be the primary backups behind Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell.

Osman ended Sunday's 122-99 victory over the Clippers with 29 points (11-13 FG, 7-7 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block across 22 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Osman was just about flawless from the field in the win, putting together easily his best game of the season. Up against an undermanned Clippers team, Osman was able to get to his spots with ease while also chipping in three combined blocks and steals. Though his performance is sure to turn some heads, it came on the back of unsustainable shooting, and Osman also saw a slight uptick in playing time while the Cavaliers were down a key frontcourt piece in Kevin Love (back). Osman had averaged 8.2 points in 17.4 minutes per game on 46.9 shooting from the field over his prior five games, and that level of efficiency, playing time and scoring production is probably more representative of what to expect from him moving forward.

Osman chipped in 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal across 25 minutes during Friday's 120-114 loss to Golden State.
EDGE Analysis
Osman put together a strong performance off the bench by shooting efficiently from deep. His contributions were a welcome sight after being held to 12 total points in his last six contests. Osman's workload was also a promising sign, as he'd been averaging 10.0 minutes over his last six appearances heading into Friday's matchup.

Osman produced six points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one assist and one steal across 16 minutes during Saturday's 110-102 loss to Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Osman logged fewer than 20 minutes for the fourth consecutive game, continuing what has been a lean season. While he has had moments of relevance, on the whole, it's been a season full of nothing. Despite averaging 22.6 minutes per night, he currently sits well outside the top 250 in 12-team formats, leaving him well off the fantasy radar, even in deeper formats.

Osman supplied zero points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one assist across 11 minutes during Tuesday's 116-114 loss to the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
Osman scored in double figures in six consecutive appearances between late December and early January, but he's seen his playing time drop off over the last two games now that Evan Mobley, Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell are all back on the court. Osman has totaled just three points over his last two appearances.

Osman notched 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and two steals across 28 minutes during Friday's 121-108 loss to Denver.
EDGE Analysis
Osman scored in double-digits for the sixth consecutive game, continuing what has been a solid run of production. With a number of players having missed time recently, Osman has been the player to step into a larger role. While the scoring has been nice, he remains outside the top 150 over the past two weeks, meaning he should be looked at as a points streamer only, at least until the Cavaliers are fully healthy.

Osman had 19 points (6-13 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds and four assists across 36 minutes off the bench during Monday's 145-134 overtime win over Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
The 36 minutes represented his largest workload since late November, as Evan Mobley (ankle) missed his second straight game and Kevin Love fouled out late. Osman took advantage of the opportunity, scoring in double digits for the fourth straight contest and the sixth time in his last eight, a stretch in which he's averaging 13.0 points, 1.9 threes, 1.8 assists and 1.6 boards. The 27-year-old's lack of secondary stats limits his fantasy appeal, but Osman's been a reliable source of offense from the Cavaliers' second unit.
