Alec Burks's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

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.
