ALEC BURKS NEWS

Bounces back with 19 points Burks totaled 19 points (6-7 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Sunday's 118-88 win over the Magic.

Impact This was a nice bounceback effort for Burks, who struggled in Saturday night's loss to the Cavs, finishing with just 11 points on 3-of-9 shooting in 28 minutes. Overall, it's been an up-and-down year for the Colorado product, but he's come on strong over the final month of the season. Entering Sunday, Burks was averaging 15.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.1 steals and 3.0 threes over his previous 10 appearances.

Struggles in loss Burks registered 11 points (3-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and one assist over 28 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 119-101 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Burks' single assist was his lowest mark since he failed to record one Feb. 27, and his 11 points were his fewest since March 20. However, he at least extended his streak of double-digit scoring to 10 games.

Goes off for 27 points Monday Burks supplied 27 points (9-19 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal over 42 minutes during Monday's 109-104 victory over the Bulls.

Impact Burks was electric on the offensive end during the win, landing his second-highest point total of the season. He has now scored in double digits in eight straight games, continuing to play as the starting point guard for the shorthanded Knicks. His efficiency from the field can be an issue at times, but as long as he is playing in his current role, he should be added in most fantasy formats.

Fills stat sheet Wednesday Burks posted 17 points (5-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 121-106 victory over the Hornets.

Impact Burks continues to produce for the Knicks, and while the accuracy is not a consistent part of this game, that won't matter much if he keeps producing every time he steps on the hardwood. He's scored in double digits in all but one of his last eight games while reaching the 15-point mark four times in that span.

Impact Burks continues to be the every-night starter at point guard for the Knicks, but his production has remained modest and mostly inconsistent. Burks may be of use to some deep-league managers in need of points, rebounds and assists, but he's shooting just 37.6 percent from the field since the All-Star break.

Draws second straight start Burks will start at point guard in Sunday's game against the 76ers, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Impact Burks will remain on the top unit for the second straight game out of the All-Star break after the Knicks and Kemba Walker mutually decided that he would sit out for the rest of the season to focus on regaining strength in his knee in advance of the 2022-23 campaign. While stepping into the starting lineup for Walker in Friday's 115-100 loss to the Heat, Burks played 34 minutes and finished with 12 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and two assists. Burks' playing time should be robust moving forward, though efficiency figures to be an issue for the 30-year-old, who is converting at a lowly 38.2 percent clip from the field through 59 appearances this season.
