Alec Burks Unlikely To Return Monday
6 months agoDetroit Pistons guard/forward Alec Burks (forearm) is considered doubtful for Monday's game versus the Golden State Warriors. Helping fill Bojan Bogdanovic's (calf) vacated lineup spot, Burks looks set to be a spectator for the fourth consecutive contest on Monday due to a left forearm contusion. The 32-year-old swingman is posting 9-category fantasy value inside the top 75 with averages of 15.0 points, 3.5 three-pointers, and 3.3 rebounds without a single turnover in 102 total minutes during four games this year. Burks should continue being regarded as day-to-day unless we hear otherwise. With Joe Harris (shoulder) also missing for Detroit, versatile first-round rookie Ausar Thompson should continue to be featured more prominently for as long as Burks may be sidelined. Fellow first-rounder Marcus Sasser should be able to maintain his spot in head coach Monty Williams' rotation against the Warriors, as well.
