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.

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.

Dallas Mavericks small forward Davis Bertans (trade) has not been cleared to take the floor for Saturday's game against the Clippers. Bertans' playing time was wildly sporadic this season for Washington prior to the trade, receiving just 14.7 minutes on a nightly basis, a year removed from averaging three made triples per game. Dallas enters Saturday averaging the ninth-most three-point attempts per contest in the league (36.8), a number that will likely rise upon the addition of Bertans to the second unit. While he may not need to be rostered as soon as Tuesday vs. Miami, he is a name to monitor during the second half for those fantasy managers in search of three-pointers in relevant category formats.

Washington Wizards point guard Spencer Dinwiddie and power forward Davis Bertans are reportedly joining the Dallas Mavericks in a deal made just prior to the trade deadline on Thursday. In exchange, Washington is set to receive former All-Star Kristaps Porzingis. Dinwiddie delivered solid production in his first year as a Wizard, averaging 12.6 points, 5.8 assists and 4.7 rebounds per game, but he struggled from the field overall to the tune of a 37.6% shooting percentage. Bertans, who averaged 3.3 made triples per game over the prior two seasons, fell out of Washington's rotation this season and has averaged just 5.7 points per game. Both players are under contract for at least the next two years.

Washington Wizards forward Davis Bertans (foot) is available for Sunday's game against the Orlando Magic. He suffered a left foot sprain on Wednesday and was unable to play during Friday's contest. That being said, it sounds like Bertans is back following a one game absence. He should take on his normal role, which doesn't always bring consistent fantasy value. Bertans can provide points from beyond the arc, but that's about all fantasy managers will get from him.

Washington Wizards forward Davis Bertans (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He is dealing with a non-COVID related illness, so at least fantasy managers don't have to worry about him going into protocols. Bertans has been heating up lately, but the Wizards tend to be cautious with their players. This could very well come down to pregame warmups before the Wizards make a final decision on Bertans. Kyle Kuzma would see an increased workload and be a fantastic streaming option and DFS choice without Bertans on the court. Fantasy managers should check back closer to tip-off for more information.

Washington Wizards forward Davis Bertans found his flow against Denver on Monday, scoring a season-high 21 points with five triples in a 113-107 loss. He finished 8-for-13 overall from the field and picked up five rebounds with one steal and one block. The Latvian has become an afterthought in Washington, but with Kyle Kuzma (health and safety protocols) currently sidelined, Bertans had had an opportunity to pick up extra minutes. Deni Avdija has earned the starts, but he's been disappointing so far, which could lead to even more minutes for Bertans.

Washington Wizards forward Davis Bertans (ankle) is on track to play and won't be limited, according to head coach Wes Unseld. It sounds like the organization is going to monitor him closely, but won't have him on a minutes restriction. Both Bertans and Rui Hachimura were able to practice without contact on Wednesday. The Wizards do play on Wednesday, so Bertans should be available for that contest. However, he wasn't exactly playing well before the injury and might be a wait-and-see type of player in fantasy formats.

Washington Wizards power forward Davis Bertans (ankle) is set to remain on the sidelines for at least the next three games as he continues to work his way back from a sprained left ankle. Wizards head coach Wes Unseld Jr. said Monday that the 29-year-old sharpshooter was "moving really well" during practice, with the hopes that they could begin to acclimate him to game action by next week. Bertans has been sidelined since Nov. 1, having shifted to a lesser bench role with Washington's plethora of new faces. His limited playing time likely caps his season-long fantasy value in the vast majority of formats.

Washington Wizards forward Davis Bertans (ankle) won't suit up for Saturday's contest. However, Bertans is making progress is likely a week away from returning, according to head coach Wes Unseld. Bertans has missed each of the last four games while dealing with an ankle injury. Although, he wasn't playing well before the injury. He is averaging 6.8 points and 2.0 rebounds per game in 19.2 minutes. Fantasy managers can continue to leave him on the waiver wire in most formats.

Washington Wizards power forward Davis Bertans (ankle) will miss at least the remainder of the upcoming week, with head coach Wes Unseld Jr. deeming him "week-to-week" for the time being. The Wizards are set for two more contests in the current week, meaning Bertans will miss at least three games due to the injury that he sustained Monday. Known for his knockdown marksmanship, Bertans has seen his role fluctuate as a reserve in the early part of the season, averaging just 6.1 points across 16.9 minutes per contest. At this stage, fantasy managers can look elsewhere, with Deni Avdija and Kyle Kuzma likely to receive a short-term boost from Bertans' absence.

Washington Wizards forward Davis Bertans (ankle) exited Monday's game with an injury and is questionable to return. Bertans attempted to dunk on Hawks' big man Gorgui Dieng but landed awkwardly on his left ankle, forcing him to the locker room. The 28-year-old could get treatment and return to the game after the halftime break- though his absence would mean more minutes for Kyle Kuzma and Deni Avdija if he is unable to return.

Washington Wizards forward Davis Bertans (calf) did not participate during Monday's practice. He has been nursing a calf strain that caused him to miss part of last season and a portion of the offseason. The Wizards are likely going to monitor Bertans throughout the season, so fantasy managers should prepare for plenty of DNPs and load management. There is upside with Bertans because of his shooting ability, but he might only be a late round option on draft day.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Ben Simmons put a spin move on Russell Westbrook that sent him sprawling to the floor several minutes before an ankle injury sent the NBA’s triple-double king to the locker room and nearly into the stands to confront a misbehaving fan. With Simmons soaring and Westbrook ailing, the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Washington Wizards 120-95 on Wednesday night to take a 2-0 lead in the first-round playoff series. Game 3 is Saturday night at Washington. Westbrook went down after colliding with Furkan Korkmaz early in the fourth quarter. He limped off the floor and then was restrained by security after a fan threw popcorn at him as he was headed under the tunnel. “We’ll see," Westbrook said about his availability for the next game. "Hurt it twice in a short amount of time. We’ll see what happens.” As for the incident with the fan, Westbrook said: “I wouldn’t come up to me on the street and throw popcorn on my head, because you know what happens. ... In these arenas, you gotta... [More]
