• Heat's Alec Burks: Solid showing off bench

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Burks closed Wednesday's 115-101 loss to the Thunder with 11 points (3-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 28 minutes. Burks returned to a bench role after starting in the loss to the Celtics on Feb. 10, but he delivered another solid outing. The veteran sharpshooter has scored in double digits in his last two games. Still, given the inconsistencies of his role in the rotation, he's not likely to be a reliable fantasy option outside of the very deep formats. That could change in the final weeks of the regular season, though.

• Heat's Alec Burks: Slides back to bench

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Burks isn't part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Thunder, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Burks drew a spot start Monday in place of Tyler Herro (illness), but he'll retreat to the bench Wednesday with Herro healthy. Burks has appeared in 27 games for the Heat this season and is averaging 6.0 points and 2.3 rebounds across 16.5 minutes.

  Burks racked up 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt) and seven rebounds in 26 minutes during Monday's 103-85 loss to the Celtics. The veteran guard got his first start of the season, taking the place of Tyler Herro (illness), and Burks was one of the few Heat players to have any kind of shooting success against a stifling Celtics defense. Burks hadn't scored in double digits since Jan. 7 and was a DNP - Coach's Decision for nine of the 15 games in between, and there may not be a consistent spot in the rotation for him once Herro and Jaime Jaquez (illness) are healthy.

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  Burks is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Celtics. It'll be the first start of the season for the veteran swingman, who's making just his third appearance since Jan. 17 in the absence of Tyler Herro (illness). Burks has averaged just 4.9 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.6 steals in 16.1 minutes over his last seven appearances, but he's set for a boost in playing time Monday.

  Burks provided zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in five minutes during Saturday's 136-100 loss to the Jazz. Burks continues to play limited minutes off the bench, having scored in double digits only five times this season. In what was easily the Heat's worst performance of the season, many of their secondary pieces were afforded additional run. Burks was not one of those players, indicating his role on this team is not favorable.
