Davis Bertans - Scores 12 pointsBertans 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.
ImpactThis 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.

Luguentz Dort - Drops 14 pointsDort accounted for 14 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 3PT, 4-4 FT) and two assists across 17 minutes in Monday's 122-121 preseason win over the Spurs.
ImpactThe Thunder were missing Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, leaving some extra shots for Dort to absorb. Dort usually struggles with shooting efficiency, so it was nice to see him come out of the gate in a rhythm. His defense pretty much guarantees him a large role with the Thunder this season.
