Alec Burks

Burks has been cleared for Monday's game despite dealing with lower back discomfort. The 33-year-old shooting guard is expected to start given the Heat's other injuries and is worth streaming in deeper formats.

Burks is once again considered probable due to his lingering back issue. The probable tag suggests he will be cleared to play, and the veteran guard should get another start on Monday. With Andrew Wiggins and Duncan Robinson out, Burks is worth streaming in deep leagues when allowed to start.

Alec Burks and Pelle Larsson started for this duo against the 76ers on Saturday and it appears like they will again to kick off a new weak. Wiggins and Robinson will get a chance to return against the Celtics on Thursday.

Burks has started Miami's last three games, hitting double figures in each contest. His performance on Saturday was arguably his best of the season, with the veteran guard recording his first 20-point stat line. However, Burks has only been a 12th-round player in nine-cat formats over the past week. Starting gives him a shot at achieving fantasy relevance, but Burks is not a must-add player, even with the Heat playing four games during Week 22.

Burks has been upgraded from questionable to available. With Duncan Robinson out, Burks should remain in the starting lineup, which makes him worthy of a look in deep fantasy leagues.
