OKLAHOMA CITY -- Cedi Osman, for now at least, has changed Cleveland Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue's thinking about his starting lineup.
In the first two starts of the small forward's career in the wake of Cleveland's set of roster-morphing moves at the trade deadline, Osman has averaged 14 points, 5.5 rebounds and three assists.
After initially saying that Osman's time in the starting lineup would be short-lived, Lue is now riding the hot hand, as Osman is expected to make a third consecutive start Tuesday when the Cavaliers play at the Oklahoma City Thunder.
