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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Osman closed with zero points (0-3 FG, 0-3 3Pt) and four rebounds in 13 minutes during Wednesday's 114-113 overtime win over Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Osman was productive over the first few games of the regular season, averaging 15.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 29.3 minutes per game over his first four appearances. However, his role has decreased recently, as he's averaged just 16.7 minutes per game over the last three matchups and has shot 12.5 percent from the floor over that stretch. Darius Garland (eye) returned to the court during Wednesday's game against the Celtics, so Osman should continue to see a reduced role for Cleveland.

Osman closed with four points (1-6 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 22 minutes during Friday's 132-123 overtime win over the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
The Cavaliers kept a tight rotation in the overtime victory over the Celtics. Osman saw his minutes limited as he struggled and Caris LeVert -- 41 points, seven assists, four rebounds and three steals in 43 minutes -- was aflame. Once Darius Garland (eye) returns, Osman will presumably see his usage reduced.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Osman will draw the start Friday against the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
Osman's spot start comes with many regulars resting, so there's not much to read into with his inclusion in the unit. He should resume a bench role when the regular season kicks off next week.
