ALEC BURKS NEWS

Struggles to find shot Burks ended Monday's 119-112 victory over Golden State with five points (1-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one assist across 14 minutes.

Impact Since being traded to the Knicks on Feb. 8, Burks has struggled to find his footing, averaging 7.3 points in 14.4 minutes on 31.5 percent shooting. Prior to the trade, Burks averaged 12.6 points in 20.9 minutes on a more respectable 39.4 percent from the field with Detroit. The change of scenery has not bode well for the 32-year-old, who should not be expected to provide much fantasy value behind Miles McBride, who has flourished the past month in 29.0 minutes per game.

Rought night in loss Burks totaled two points (1-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one block over 16 minutes during Tuesday's 115-92 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact Burks had just two points in the loss, offering absolutely nothing in terms of fantasy value. Despite the fact the Knicks continue to deal with injuries to multiple key pieces, Burks has been unable to make the most of the situation. He should still be viewed as a possible points streamer but as we saw Tuesday, even that might be a stretch right now.

Retreats to bench Thursday Burks isn't starting Thursday's game against the 76ers.

Impact Burks started the Knicks' final game before the All-Star break but will retreat to the bench Thursday since Donte DiVincenzo (hamstring) and Bojan Bogdanovic (calf) are back in action. Burks has averaged 13.6 points and 3.0 rebounds in 21.6 minutes per game over his last five appearances off the bench.

Scores 13 in spot start Burks finished with 13 points (5-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and three rebounds over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 118-100 loss to the Magic.

Impact Burks made his first start of the season Wednesday with both Donte DiVincenzo (hamstring) and Bojan Bogdanovic (calf) sidelined. After scoring 22 points on 50.0 percent shooting in his Knicks debut Feb. 10, Burks has shot 6-for-24 over his last two appearances, including Wednesday's loss. Should DiVincenzo and Bogdanovic return following the All-Star break, Burks figures to reprise his role as a scorer off the bench for the rest of the regular season.

Will start Wednesday Burks will start Wednesday's game against the Magic.

Impact With Donte DiVincenzo (hamstring) and Bojan Bogdanovic (calf) sidelined, Burks will make his first start this season. During his first game with the Knicks this season, Burks posted 22 points (7-14 FG) in 22 minutes against the Pacers on Saturday but scored just five points in the next contest. He should get plenty of looks versus Orlando, but Jalen Brunson will lead New York's offense.

Pops for 22 in New York debut Burks supplied 22 points (7-14 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 22 minutes during Saturday's 125-111 loss to Indiana.

Impact Suiting up for his first game with the Knicks following a trade from the Pistons, Burks didn't miss a beat as he drained three or more three-pointers for the 12th time in 19 games since the beginning of January. The veteran guard is averaging 17.1 points, 3.2 threes, 3.1 boards and 1.9 assists over 24.5 minutes a contest in the new year, but it could be a while before his usage with the Knicks becomes clear given all the injuries the team is dealing with.

FEBRUARY 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to debut Burks will be available to play in Saturday's game against the Pacers, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Burks was acquired from the Pistons at the deadline and is expected to provide New York's second unit a big boost offensively. He may see an increased role early on, however, as the Knicks are dealing with several key injuries.

Impact Burks is enjoying a quality season for Detroit, averaging 12.6 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 21.0 minutes across 43 appearances. The veteran guard has proven to be an elite outside shooter, converting 40.1 percent of his 5.7 three-point attempts per contest in 2023-24, and shot over 40 percent from deep in each of the last four seasons. While the 32-year-old doesn't fit Detroit's timeline, he will likely provide spacing for the Knicks off the bench. Burks last played for New York in 2021-22, making 81 appearances, including 44 starts.

Wakes up with 25 poonts in victory Burks accumulated 25 points (7-12 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), seven rebounds and two assists in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 133-120 victory over the Kings.

Impact Burks has only averaged 21 minutes per gams this season while buried on the depth chart, but absences from Cade Cunningham (knee) and Bojan Bogdanovic (calf) yielded additional usage from the veteran. Burks is one of the oldest players on a very young roster, but he's been able to carve a fairly consistent second-unit role. Expectations should be tempered for him, as he's only exceeded Wednesday's scoring total three times this season.

Stays hot from long range Burks ended with 15 points (4-11 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and one assist across 26 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 113-106 victory over the Hornets.

Impact The 32-year-old guard continues to be a threat from long distance, and Burks may be the Pistons' top trade asset as the deadline grows closer. He's drained at least three three-pointers in 12 of the last 14 games, and over that stretch he's averaging 18.6 points, 3.8 threes, 2.4 boards and 1.8 assists in 25.0 minutes a night from the second unit while shooting a blistering 47.3 percent from beyond the arc.

Pours in 33 off bench Saturday Burks ended Saturday's 141-135 loss to the Bucks with 33 points (9-20 FG, 7-14 3Pt, 8-8 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and one steal across 30 minutes off the bench.

Impact Just two games after tying his career high with 34 points, Burks came one bucket short of setting a new personal best. The veteran guard has been arguably the best sixth man in the league since Christmas, averaging 19.3 points, 3.7 threes, 2.8 boards and 1.7 assists over 24.8 minutes a night during the last 13 games.

JANUARY 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Ties career high with 34 points Burks registered 34 points (11-17 FG, 8-12 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds and two assists in 29 minutes during Monday's 129-117 victory over the Wizards.

Impact The 32-year-old guard led all scorers on the night and tied his career scoring high. Burks has played for six different teams over the last six seasons, but he appears to getting very comfortable in Detroit, averaging 18.7 points, 3.6 threes, 2.5 boards and 1.3 assists in 24.6 minutes a contest over the last 11 games while shooting 48.5 percent from the floor and 48.8 percent from beyond the arc.
