4 years agoCleveland Cavaliers small forward Cedi Osman (ankle) and center Isaiah Hartenstein (head) have been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Mavericks. Osman has erupted into must-own season-long contention by averaging 15.6 points and 4.8 assists over his last eight contests. His absence figures to give Isaac Okoro as much run at the SF slot as he can handle. Hartenstein has proven an adept bench piece for Cleveland, but he will miss his sixth contest in the team's last eight, paving the way for Jarrett Allen and Kevin Love to have significant rebounding roles. The next chance that Osman/Hartenstein have at returning comes Monday versus Indiana.--Jesse Borek
