Miami Heat

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler is questionable for Sunday's game against Boston. The veteran is tending to a personal matter, so there's a chance he won't be out there for the matinee versus the Celtics. Fortunately, he's not injured, which has been an issue this year. But if Butler doesn't suit up, Tyler Herro, Terry Rozier, and Bam Adebayo should see a bump in scoring opportunities. Also, Jaime Jaquez Jr., averaging 15.6 points in 15 starts during the 2023-24 campaign, could take Butler's place in the lineup if he's unavailable.

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.

The Miami Heat say forward Duncan Robinson (concussion) is available for Tuesday's matchup with the Orlando Magic. Robinson exited Jan. 29's loss to the Phoenix Suns following four minutes of action after suffering a concussion, missing Miami's last three games, but he's passed concussion protocol. With the Heat healthier now than they were during the first half of the campaign, the 29-year-old sharpshooter isn't as valuable in fantasy hoops as he was before. Averaging 8.1 points and 1.6 three-pointers on 32.5% shooting from long distance in 19.0 minutes through his latest eight games, Robinson is a low-end points and threes specialist in a stiff draw against a Magic squad that ranks third in defensive efficiency (109.0).

The Miami Heat say guard Tyler Herro (migraine) is available for Tuesday's tilt versus the Orlando Magic. A migraine made Herro a late scratch ahead of Sunday's defeat to the Los Angeles Clippers, but he's been upgraded from probable to active. Having not reached the 20-point threshold in any of his last seven games, the 24-year-old former Sixth Man of the Year looks like a decent buy-low fantasy target in season-long leagues while averaging 16.1 points on 38.3% shooting from the field, 4.4 assists, 4.1 rebounds, and 3.6 triples since Jan. 21. But the bounce-back may not come against the Magic, who are surrendering the fifth-fewest points per game (110.6) in 2023-24.
