Free-agent forward Davis Bertans is reportedly generating interest among multiple teams after getting waived by the Charlotte Hornets. According to HoopsHype's Michael Scotto, the New York Knicks are among the teams who are looking at Bertans. The 31-year-old is a sweet-shooting big man who would give an extra threat from deep to the Knicks. However, he will likely not get enough opportunities in New York to jump back into fantasy relevance. Bertans posted 6.7 points and 1.2 rebounds in 15.7 minutes across stints with Oklahoma City and Charlotte in 2023-24.
The Hornets released forward Davis Bertans. The 2011 No. 42 overall pick began the 2023-24 campaign with OKC before getting traded to Charlotte. In 28 games with the Hornets, he averaged 8.8 points, 1.8 rebounds, and shot 37.5% from deep. Without question, Bertans has plenty of experience and will add depth to any club around the National Basketball Association, meaning there's a good chance a team will sign him. However, he isn't relevant from a fantasy standpoint, and that's not expected to change anytime soon, even if he lands somewhere for the 2024-25 season.
Charlotte Hornets forward/center Davis Bertans (nose) has been upgraded from probable to available for Friday's meeting with Golden State. He will make a 16th consecutive appearance for the struggling Hornets. Bertans had a strong start to the month, but his shot has abandoned him lately, and Bertans likely won't make a big impact off the bench against the Warriors, who typically don't give up a lot of scoring to opposing second units.
Charlotte Hornets forward Davis Bertans (nose) has been tagged as probable for Friday's game against Golden State due to a nose injury. The sharpshooting forward has played in 34 games, averaging 6.4 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 1.1 steals. He's been playing 13.9 minutes per contest, so it will be fine if he's unable to suit up for the Hornets. Fantasy managers should avoid the 31-year-old across all fantasy formats.
Charlotte Hornets forward Davis Bertans (knee) has been tagged as questionable for Tuesday due to a hyperextended left knee. The sharpshooting forward has only played in four games for the Hornets since being traded from the Oklahoma City Thunder, and he's played around 10 minutes a night. So, if he does end up playing, it won't affect the lineup all that much and it wouldn't automatically vault him into fantasy relevance. If he can't suit up for a third consecutive game, however, Grant Williams should receive some more minutes off of the bench while Cody Martin would likely continue to receive north of 30 minutes.
Charlotte Hornets forward Davis Bertans (knee) has been downgraded to out ahead of Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Bertans was only able to play in six minutes of Thursday's game due to his knee injury. The absence of Bertans won't have a huge impact on the rotation. Grant Williams will likely see a few more minutes and will see an uptick in fantasy value for Friday's game.
Charlotte Hornets forward Davis Bertans (knee) has been listed as doubtful on Friday due to hyperextending his left knee. The 31-year-old was starting to consistently get on the court again after being traded to Charlotte, but could only play six minutes in their last contest. Bertans hasn't been able to recreate his big year in 2019-20 and has bounced around to four different teams since that season. He's still buried on the depth chart in Charlotte, so his injury shouldn't shake up the rotation that much against the Golden State Warriors. If anything, Brandon Miller and Miles Bridges will likely get some added time.
Dallas Mavericks forward/center Davis Bertans (illness) is a no go for Friday's matchup against Portland. He has caught an illness bug and will need to shake it off before he can play again. With another game coming up Saturday versus Cleveland, it looks like there's a strong chance Bertans sits out multiple games. It's a shame for the Latvian, as Maxi Kleber's (hamstring) injury has opened up a nice chunk of frontcourt minutes and Bertans would be in line to earn some extra action. Instead, Christian Wood and Dorian Finney-Smith are in for a busy night Friday, with head coach Jason Kidd lacking alternative options.
Dallas Mavericks forward/center Davis Bertans (knee) has been ruled out for another game ahead of Friday's clash with Toronto. He has yet to play this season because of right knee effusion. Once regarded as one of the league's best snipers, Bertans has gone through a couple of bad seasons and it looks like 2022-23 won't be any better for him either. The Mavericks have also ruled Frank Ntilikina (ankle) out of Friday's contest. He is still waiting for a chance to make his season debut as well.
Spencer Dinwiddie, Davis Bertans To Debut With Mavs Tuesday
Newly-acquired Dallas Mavericks guard Spencer Dinwiddie and forward Davis Bertans will make their debuts with the team on Tuesday as the Mavericks face the Miami Heat. Both players will come off the bench in the game, according to Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd. The Mavericks will be without Reggie Bullock (hip) and Trey Burke (shoulder) in the game, so both Dinwiddie and Bertans could be called upon to fill those depleted minutes. Bullock has regularly been logging over 30 minutes per game while Burke has been one of the primary bench guards utilized by Kidd.
