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

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.

Detroit Pistons guard Alec Burks (hamstring) is expected to play on Sunday versus the Denver Nuggets. Burks has slowed down since averaging 15 points per game in October. However, he scored at least 21 points or more in the previous two games leading up to Friday's loss to the Warriors, so there may be something there for fantasy managers willing to risk putting him in the starting lineup.

Detroit Pistons guard Alec Burks (hamstring) is currently listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The veteran guard lands on the injury report after dropping 27 points in 34 minutes of action during Wednesday's loss. The assumption is that Ausar Thompson would have a bigger role if Burks is forced to sit out. Thompson would be an interesting streaming option with increased playing time. He has been inconsistent recently, but has good upside especially with increased minutes.
