Bertans will not play in Monday's game against the Wizards due to illness.

EDGE Analysis

Bertans has been on the outside of the rotation lately, so his absence is unlikely to have fantasy implications.

Bertans produced no counting stats across zero minutes during Friday's 138-136 overtime win over the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

Bertans logged a whopping 12 seconds in the overtime win, continuing his non-existent fantasy season. Given he has cracked the rotation only seven times all season, it appears as though Bertans' days of being a fantasy-relevant player are done.

Bertans (rest) is active for Sunday's preseason game against Charlotte.

EDGE Analysis

Bertans was inactive for Thursday's matchup for rest purposes, but it looks like he'll be back in action Sunday. The Thunder are resting their usual starters, so Bertans should see a solid role versus the Hornets.

Bertans will be a healthy scratch for Thursday's preseason game versus the Pistons, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bertans will be inactive Thursday but hasn't suffered any injury. As the Thunder are likely just being cautious with the veteran forward, his next chance to suit up will be Sunday's preseason matchup with Charlotte.

Bertans recorded 12 points (4-6 FG, 4-6 3PT) and one steal in 10 minutes during Monday's 122-121 preseason win over the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

This was a strong showing for the veteran floor spacer, and it's exactly what he needed after a poor season with the Mavericks in 2022-23. The Thunder have a lot of options in the frontcourt, so Bertans is facing an uphill battle for playing time. For fantasy purposes, he's essentially a one-category specialist.

Bertans was traded to the Thunder on Thursday, along with the No. 10 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, in exchange for the No. 12 overall pick, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

While the Mavs move back two spots, they get off of Bertans' contract and open up a significant Traded Player Exception which could be used to bolster the roster around Luka Doncic and current free agent Kyrie Irving. Bertans is owed $17 million in 2023-24 and holds a $16 million player option for 2024-25. The Latvian wing appeared in only 45 games last season, averaging 4.6 points and 1.2 made threes on 43.1 percent shooting (39.0% 3Pt). With the No. 10 pick, the Thunder selected Kentucky guard Cason Wallace.

Bertans provided 19 points (7-13 FG, 5-11 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 28 minutes during Sunday's 138-117 loss to the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

Bertans had a minimal role off the bench all season long for the Mavericks, but he made the most of his lone start of the campaign. He ended the 2022-23 season with averages of 4.6 points, 1.2 rebounds and 0.5 assists across 10.9 minutes per game.

Bertans will start Sunday's game against the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

With the Mavericks out of the playoff picture, Bertans slides into the starting lineup and will be joined by Theo Pinson, Frank Ntilikina, Jaden Hardy and Markieff Morris. In his last outing, Bertans posted 11 points in 15 minutes, but he figures to see a larger workload Sunday.

Bertans (calf) played 14 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's 113-106 loss to the Pelicans, finishing with six points (2-3 FG, 2-3 3Pt), four rebounds and three assists.

EDGE Analysis

Bertans was available for the third game in a row after a recent month-long absence due to a calf injury, but Wednesday marked the first time in that three-game stretch that he got off the bench. The absence of Reggie Bullock (quadriceps) and Maxi Kleber (rest) enabled Bertans to see some run off the bench in a competitive game, but it's unclear if he will be featured in the rotation if either or both of Bullock or Kleber are good to go for Saturday's game in Memphis.

Bertans (calf) is available for Sunday's game against the Suns.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Bertans has been upgraded from probable to available and will suit up versus Phoenix. If he garners any playing time, it'll be the sharpshooter's first game since Feb. 2. Before his lengthy absence, Bertans was playing around 12 minutes per game and wasn't making a strong enough impact to be fantasy relevant in standard leagues.
