Osman (COVID-19 protocols) is listed as out for Tuesday's contest against the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear if Osman won't play because he is still in protocols or trying to regain his conditioning after being away from the team for over a week. Either way, Kevin Pangos, RJ Nembhard and Dylan Windler (knee) are all candidates for increased minutes as long as Osman remains sidelined. The 26-year-old's next chance to suit up will be Friday at Portland.

Osman (COVID-19 protocols) did not take part in Monday's practice, Evan Dammarell of Locked On Cavs reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach J.B. Bickerstaff told the media that Darius Garland cleared COVID-19 protocols and practiced Monday, but he noted that Osman did not participate in the session, so it's possible he's still in protocols. It's also possible that Osman was withheld for conditioning purposes, so for the time being he should be considered very much questionable for Tuesday's home matchup against the Grizzlies. With Ricky Rubio (knee) done for the season and Isaac Okoro set to miss multiple weeks with an elbow injury, Osman should be set for a boosted role once he's back with the team.

Osman (COVID-19 health and safety protocols) won't play Sunday against the Raptors, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though he was placed in the protocols just a day ago, the Cavaliers were optimistic that Osman would test out of the protocols without missing a game. That won't be the case, but Osman looks like he might be able to return as soon as Tuesday's game against the Pelicans. Osman is one of eight Cavaliers in the protocols as of Sunday, and the team is also without Collin Sexton (knee) for the rest of the season due to injury.

Osman was placed in the NBA's health and safety protocols Saturday, Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Osman is the latest Cavs player to enter protocols, joining a list that includes Isaac Okoro, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen, among others, as Sunday's game against Toronto approaches. Osman figures to miss at least the next 7-to-10 days, barring him returning a pair of negative tests within a 24-hour span.

Osman accumulated 23 points (8-12 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal across 27 minutes during Saturday's 119-90 victory over Milwaukee.

EDGE Analysis

Osman led Cleveland in scoring Saturday, recording his highest point total since Nov. 24. His five makes from beyond the arc were just one shy of his high mark on the season. Osman came into the contest having tallied just eight points across 24 minutes in his previous two games combined, though he has shown an ability to produce when called upon at times this season. He has four performances of 20-plus points and at least five three-pointers on the campaign, but he's a shaky fantasy target due to his inconsistent minutes and production.

Osman (back) is available for Sunday's game against the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

Osman will return from a three-game absence due to lower-back soreness. Though he was a useful fantasy option in November with averages of 13.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.9 three-pointers in 25.1 minutes per contest, Osman is likely to see his production and playing time trend toward now that the Cavaliers have gotten healthier in the past couple of weeks.

Osman (back) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

Osman has missed three straight games but could return Sunday. In November, he averaged 13.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 25.1 minutes.

Osman (back) has been ruled out Friday against the Wizards.

EDGE Analysis

Osman will miss a third consecutive game due to a sore back. Isaac Okoro and Lamar Stevens should see additional playing time once again.

Osman (back) is out Wednesday against the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

Back soreness will keep Osman sidelined for a second straight game. In his absence, Isaac Okoro and Lamar Stevens could see more action.

Osman (back) will not play Monday against the Mavericks, Evan Dammarell of SBNation.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

A sore back will keep Osman sidelined as the Cavs begin a four-game Week 7. He's been a regular part of the rotation all season and has recently taken on a slightly larger role in the absence of Collin Sexton (knee), topping 20 minutes in eight of his last nine appearances. In his absence Monday, the Cavs could redistribute some minuets to the likes of Isaac Okoro, Dylan Windler, Lamar Stevens and/or Denzel Valentine.
