Miami Heat guard/forward Alec Burks (back) has been listed as available for Wednesday's meeting with the Chicago Bulls. A back problem kept Burks sidelined for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Washington Wizards, but he will be ready to help his team during the Play-In Tournament. Burks has made 10 consecutive starts for the Heat and seems poised to play a significant role in Wednesday's contest. As a member of the first unit, the 33-year-old has averaged 11.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.3 assists this season.

Miami Heat guard Alec Burks (back) has been upgraded from questionable to available ahead of Monday's tip-off against the Philadelphia 76ers. The veteran has been dealing with a back issue but is ready to make his 11th consecutive appearance. Burks was outstanding on Saturday against the Milwaukee Bucks, scoring 24 points. However, his offensive role will be much smaller on Monday night as Tyler Herro (thigh) will return to the lineup. For the month, Burks has averaged 12.0 points in 23.3 minutes per game.

According to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, Miami Heat guard/forward,Alec Burks (back), is available to suit up against the Washington Wizards on Monday. Burks will play despite dealing with a lingering back issue. The 33-year-old guard has been averaging 20.0 minutes, 16 points, 2.0 rebounds and 0.7 assists per contest in the last three games. This evening, he could see extra scoring opportunities with Davion Mitchell (illness) potentially sidelined with a stomach ailment.

According to Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald, Miami Heat guard/forwardAlec Burks(back) is available to suit up against the Atlanta Hawks on Thursday. Burks had been labeled as questionable earlier due to a back injury. However, he will be good to go for the sixth straight game after missing seven in a row. Burks turned in a 17-point effort in 24 minutes on Tuesday against the Golden State Warriors, and he will likely see plenty of extra scoring opportunities with Duncan Robinson (back) still sidelined for this evening's matchup.

Miami Heat guard/forward Alec Burks (back) has been labeled questionable for Thursday's contest against the Atlanta Hawks. Filling in for Duncan Robinson (back) in the starting unit on Tuesday against the Golden State Warriors, Burks turned some heads with a 17-point effort in 24 minutes. But he may now join Robinson on the sidelines Thursday night due to a back issue. Jaime Jaquez Jr. had just a few minutes on the court against the Warriors, but if both Robinson and Burks can't play on Thursday, he could step up and take on a much more significant role.

Miami Heat guard/forward Alec Burks (back) will return to work on Wednesday against the Detroit Pistons. He has been cleared to return from a seven-game absence. Before injuring his back, Burks had started in three consecutive games. On Wednesday, he will come off the bench, which will limit Burks' fantasy value. As a reserve, Burks has contributed only 5.9 points per game in 16.7 minutes this season. Tyler Herro, Duncan, Robinson, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Bam Adebayo, and Kel'el Ware will start Wednesday's contest for the Heat.

Miami Heat guard/forward Alec Burks (back) will not be available for Wednesday's showdown against the Los Angeles Clippers. The veteran is dealing with a back strain and has been ruled out for the contest after the team initially listed him as questionable. Before exiting the lineup, Burks played over 20 minutes in four straight appearances. However, this occurred during a period when the Heat were missing several key players, and Burks generally lacks significant fantasy value under normal circumstances.

According to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, Miami Heat guard Alec Burks will be sidelined for Monday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. The 33-year-old will miss his third straight game due to back soreness. Through 36 games this season, Burks has posted averages of 6.4 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.1 assists in 17.7 minutes per contest. Davion Mitchell, Terry Rozier and Duncan Robinson will continue to see expanded roles this evening with Burks out of action.

Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports that Miami Heat guard/forwardAlec Burks(back) is unavailable for Friday's matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Burk will be out of action due to soreness in his back. The 33-year-old finished with five points, five rebounds and two assists across 25 minutes of work in a loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday. Davion Mitchelland Duncan Robinson will likely see a boost in minutes on the floor and fantasy value with Burks sidelined this evening.

Miami Heat guard/forward Alec Burks (back) has been listed as questionable for Friday's meeting with the Minnesota Timberwolves. The veteran is on the injury report with lower back pain. Burks' fantasy stock has significantly grown lately, as he has logged three consecutive starts. However, Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra may have to rethink his plans again on Friday if he can't use Burks. The good news is that Tyler Herro (illness) and Andrew Wiggins (ankle) have not yet been ruled out for Friday, and Miami would be much stronger if they can return.

New York Knicks guard/forward Alec Burks finished as the team's top scorer with 20 points as Tom Thibodeau's troops struggled all game against Indiana on Sunday, losing 121-89. The Knicks were already down by 20 after the first quarter, and the bench guys, including Burks, ended up getting a good amount of minutes. Burks made good use of his 23 minutes on the floor, shooting 5-for-11 from the field and 8-for-10 at the line with two made triples. He was also active on the boards with five rebounds and dished out a pair of assists. Injuries have disrupted Thibodeau's plans in the postseason, with Burks making his first playoff appearance of the year in Game 2 against the Pacers. He's averaged a solid 17.0 points and 4.5 rebounds in 22 minutes across the last two games.

New York Knicks guard Alec Burks (shoulder) is dealing with a sprained right shoulder and has received a questionable tag ahead of the Friday night game against the San Antonio Spurs. The veteran combo guard has been absent for the last two games and has also seen a very inconsistent role since re-joining the Knicks. His playing time seems to be both matchup-based and based on injuries. That hasn't been a bad thing for the team, but can make fantasy managers' lives difficult when trying to judge a streaming option decision. If he does play, he's not likely to receive as many minutes since most of the rotation is healthy minus OG Anunoby (elbow) and Julius Randle (shoulder).

New York Knicks guard/forward Alec Burks (shoulder) will miss a second consecutive game on Wednesday versus Toronto. There was initially hope of him returning when the team listed him as questionable for the game, but Burks has now been downgraded to out. Burks' absence leaves the Knicks without a good scoring option off the bench. He's averaged around 15 minutes a night in the Big Apple, and Bojan Bogdanovic will have a chance to get some extra action off the Knicks bench without Burks.

New York Knicks guard Alec Burks debuted with his new team on Saturday versus the Indiana Pacers. The former Piston came off the bench in this one. Although Jalen Brunson was unequivocally the game's top producer, Burks scored 22 points in just 22 minutes. The Knicks moved on from Immanuel Quickley and Quentin Grimes, so a stable ball handler to support Brunson was desperately a need for New York. Without question, there's a spot for Burks in the rotation. However, fantasy managers shouldn't expect this type of production, at least not consistently, moving forward.

New York Knicks guard Alec Burks will play on Saturday against the Indiana Pacers. It will be the veteran's first game with the Knicks, and it comes after he averaged 12.6 points in 43 games with the Pistons this season. Burks probably won't be a consistent fantasy contributor. However, with Jalen Brunson (ankle) questionable and OG Anunoby (elbow), Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles), and Julius Randle (shoulder) out, Burks could be more productive for fantasy managers right out of the gate.

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Alec Burks is heading back to the New York Knicks, according to Adrian Wojnarowski. Burks and Bojan Bogdanovic are being sent to New York in return for Evan Fournier, Quentin Grimes, Malachi Flynn, and two second-round picks. Burks played two seasons with the Knicks prior to this deal in 2020-21 and 2021-22. He joined the Pistons via trade and is now right back where he started. Over the last season and a half with Detroit, Burks averaged 12.7 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 2.1 made threes, and 1.0 turnovers per game. He's not an automatic addition in fantasy leagues right now because the Knicks have a few forwards and guards ahead of him. He could become a solid streaming option, though, while some of their key players are hurt.

Detroit Pistons guard Alec Burks (hamstring) is expected to play on Sunday versus the Denver Nuggets. Burks has slowed down since averaging 15 points per game in October. However, he scored at least 21 points or more in the previous two games leading up to Friday's loss to the Warriors, so there may be something there for fantasy managers willing to risk putting him in the starting lineup.

Detroit Pistons guard Alec Burks (hamstring) is currently listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The veteran guard lands on the injury report after dropping 27 points in 34 minutes of action during Wednesday's loss. The assumption is that Ausar Thompson would have a bigger role if Burks is forced to sit out. Thompson would be an interesting streaming option with increased playing time. He has been inconsistent recently, but has good upside especially with increased minutes.

Detroit Pistons guard Alec Burks (forearm) will play on Sunday against the Bulls. The 32-year-old missed his previous seven games because of a forearm contusion, which was unfortunate considering he was averaging 15 points before going down with the injury. That said, there's a chance he could see fewer minutes than usual. However, Burks should still see enough work to be relevant in any fantasy format, especially since the Pistons won't have Jalen Duren (ankle), Bojan Bogdanovic (calf), Joe Harris (shoulder), and Monte Morris (quadriceps) on Sunday.

Detroit Pistons guards Jaden Ivey (illness) and Alec Burks (forearm) have both been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Ivey hasn't played since Nov. 2 due to an illness, and Burks was last seen on Oct. 30 after he sustained a left forearm contusion. They'll both look to suit back up on Friday versus the Philadelphia 76ers. With Joe Harris (shoulder) also down with an injury in addition to several other key contributors, Detroit's depth is being tested very early on during the 2023-24 campaign. It leaves head coach Monty Williams heavily dependent on Cade Cunningham to dominate usage, while 2023 first-rounders Ausar Thompson and Marcus Sasser figure to receive run in the 30-minute range against the Bucks. In a nightmarish scenario on the road with a depleted Pistons rotation, there's some inherent blowout risk attached to Wednesday's game for both sides.
