Stuffs stat sheet Thursday Burks accumulated 15 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-9 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal across 25 minutes during Thursday's 116-114 victory over Golden State.
Impact Burks continues to come off the bench for the Knicks but has been extremely productive in that role. He has scored in double digits in five of his last six appearances as a reserve. He's averaging 12.7 points while shooting 51.2 percent from the field and 45 percent from three-point range in that span. Those numbers are not sustainable, however, and he seems bound to regress sooner than later.

Coming off bench Burks will come off the bench Tuesday against the Nuggets.
Impact Burks returns to the bench following a one-game stint in the starting five due to the absence of Kemba Walker, who was out for rest but is back Tuesday. In his last six games as a reserve, Burks has averaged 8.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 19.8 minutes.

Mitchell nets 32, rallies Jazz past Knicks for 3rd straight

Enters starting five Burks is starting Monday's game against Utah, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
Impact Burks will get a chance with the first unit due to Kemba Walker's (rest) absence. Burks' last start dates back to Jan. 23 against the Clippers, when he finished with 10 points, three rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block in 30 minutes.
FEBRUARY 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Solid performance off bench Burks finished with 12 points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 29 minutes during Saturday's 122-115 overtime loss to the Lakers.
Impact While Kemba Walker drew the start, Burks played more minutes than him and outproduced him in every major statistical category. The Knicks' point guard position continues to be a revolving door, which makes it difficult to trust any of them. Over his last six games, Burks has averaged 8.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.0 assists across 19.8 minutes, but that includes a 21-point performance and a scoreless outing.
FEBRUARY 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Posts team-high 21 points Burks had 21 points (6-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal in 26 minutes during Monday's 116-96 victory over the Kings.
Impact Burks played off the bench for the fourth straight contest, but he had one of his best games of the new year, leading New York in scoring in the blowout win. The veteran exceeded the 20-point mark for the first time since scoring 34 against Detroit on Dec. 29. Burks averaged 9.5 points (on 33.3 percent shooting), 4.9 assists, 3.3 assists and 1.3 steals across 27.3 minutes over 15 January contests.

Shifts back to bench Burks will come off the bench Monday against the Cavaliers.
Impact The 30-year-old received a spot start Sunday against the Clippers and put up 10 points (3-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 30 minutes, but he'll return to the bench with Kemba Walker (knee) rejoining the lineup. Burks should still be one of the top backcourt options off the bench for New York, though his fantasy outlook is limited.

Logs 30 minutes in starting role Burks supplied 10 points (3-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 30 minutes during Sunday's 110-102 win over the Clippers.
Impact Burks' knack for production has been on the decline over the past couple of weeks, primarily due to the resurgence of Kemba Walker (knee). As long as he can stay healthy, the former Boston Celtic appears to be the favorite as the long-term answer at point guard for the Knicks, which could relegate Burks to the second unit for the foreseeable future.

Rejoins starting five Burks will start Sunday's game against the Clippers, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.
Impact The 30-year-old came off the bench the past two games with Kemba Walker back in the lineup, but Walker is again sitting out Sunday with the knee injury. Burks averaged 10.6 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.6 steals in 33.7 minutes during his last run as a starter, which lasted seven games.

Non-factor in loss Burks had zero points (0-3 FG, 0-3 3Pt) and four rebounds across 17 minutes during Tuesday's 112-110 loss to the Timberwolves.
Impact Burks was significantly less involved with Kemba Walker (knee) back in the lineup for the first time since Dec. 29. Over his last eight games, the 6-foot-6 shooting guard has hit a bit of a cold spell and is averaging 9.3 points on just 29.4 percent shooting from the field. Fantasy managers will likely want to give Burks time to work his way out of his current slump, but it may be difficult to keep him rostered if Walker continues to play well as the full-time starter.

Moving to bench Tuesday Burks will come off the bench for Tuesday's game against Minnesota.
Impact With Kemba Walker (knee) available for the first time in weeks, the Knicks will insert him into the lineup at point guard and move Burks to the bench. Burks has fallen into a cold spell of late, averaging just 10.6 points on 32.0 percent shooting over his last eight games. He finished Monday's ugly loss to Charlotte with six points, four rebounds and one assist in 26 minutes.
JANUARY 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Near triple-double in win Burks closed Saturday's 117-108 victory over the Hawks with 17 points (4-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 7-7 FT), nine rebounds and eight assists in 36 minutes.
Impact Burks has been in and out of the starting lineup this season, but he's been a steady producer no matter his role. On Saturday, he scored his most points since dropping a season-high 34 on Dec. 29 and finished second on the team in rebounds and assists. Over his last six games -- all starts --, he's averaged 11.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.8 steals in 35.0 minutes. He'll look to continue his solid play against the Hornets on Monday.
