Cedi Osman: Erupts for season-high 29 points
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.
The Scoop: 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.
