EDGE Analysis

While he didn't get much going on offense, Bertans did tie his career high in steals while making his first start of the season. The 31-year-old forward has seen a steady role in the Hornets' injury-ravaged rotation since the beginning of March, but Bertans has averaged just 8.8 points, 2.3 threes, 2.2 boards, 1.4 assists and 1.1 steals in 23.7 minutes a contest during that time.
