Davis Bertans lackluster in first game with Wizards

Davis Bertans
F, Washington Wizards

Davis Bertans wasn't anything to write home about in his Wizards debut on Wednesday as he scored seven points to go with four rebounds, a steal and two triples.

Bertans went 2-of-8 from the field but did play 29 minutes, good for third-most on the team. He's still worth a pickup in 12-team formats. This team has extremely limited scoring and shooting, and Bertans is fairly high in the pecking order.

Jerami Grant
SF, Denver Nuggets

Mike Singer of the Denver Post has heard that Jerami Grant will exercise his player option and opt out of his contract this summer, but has interest in staying with the Nuggets.

When asked about his future with Denver following Saturday's Game 5 defeat, Grant said, "I’m definitely looking forward to it. We’ll see how it goes.” Grant was slated to make $9.3 million next season but has earned far more than that, especially after his outstanding postseason run. An offensive explosion in last night's third quarter kept the Nuggets alive while Grant's defense on Kawhi Leonard helped them get through the second round. Singer's sources also said that Grant could command $14 – $16 million annually on the open market. Denver has some money to spend with Paul Millsap, Mason Plumlee coming off the books so if they really want to retain Grant they'll have the space to make it happen.

Malik Beasley
SG, Minnesota Timberwolves

Shams Charania and Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic are reporting that Malik Beasley has been arrested on charges of marijuana possession and receiving and concealing stolen property.

Beasley was arrested on Saturday night and is still in police custody. His lawyer issued a statement saying, "At the time of the incident, multiple individuals were present at the residence. The allegations against Malik will be defended vigorously." Beasley, a restricted free agent, is expected to be one of Minnesota's priorities this offseason after blossoming following a midseason trade to the Wolves.

Alex Caruso
SG, Los Angeles Lakers

Alex Caruso (sore right wrist) was active in Saturday's win over the Nuggets, leading all Laker reserves with 26 minutes, 11 points (5-of-7 shooting), two rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block.

Caruso has long been touted as an underrated defender and he brought his bag of intangibles with him to work tonight. His heavy minutes is a good sign that his wrist injury might not be a lingering concern. While the Lakers lean heavily on both LeBron James and Anthony Davis, it's key role-players like Caruso and Danny Green (11 points, two 3s, two assists, two blocks) who round out one of the league's most potent defenses in the playoff bubble.

Dwight Howard
C, Los Angeles Lakers

Dwight Howard drew another start for the Lakers on Saturday and rewarded his team with a solid effort on defense, providing them with nine points, nine rebounds and two blocks in 35 minutes.

It was nice to see Howard flirt with a double-double in this one, but his impact in the game was far more meaningful than what was reflected on the stat sheet. Howard's body in the paint gave Nikola Jokic and the rest of Denver's frontcourt some headaches. He nearly got into it with Paul Millsap after Howard landed a shoulder to Millsap's face while boxing him out for a rebound. Beyond that, Howard was not involved in any sort of on-court antics.

Anthony Davis
PF-C, Los Angeles Lakers

Anthony Davis looked like he re-injured his already ailing left ankle in the second half of Saturday's win over the Nuggets, but still managed to post 27 points on 8-of-16 shooting form the field and a perfect 9-for-9 run at the free throw line.

AD was able to do it all, despite clearly being slowed down a bit by his ankle in this game. He added five rebounds, three assists, two 3s, two steals and one block, for another well-rounded performance. We'll keep an eye on Davis' left ankle for now, so stay tuned for any updates.
