Burks is hot, averaging 18.7 points over his last three games, and 15.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.2 3-pointers over his last five. He's also scored in double figures in 15 straight games, making his a solid option in most fantasy formats. |

Fri Mar 7 2014 | 23:40 | Burks scores 18 points off the bench |
Alec Burks hit 6-of-8 shots off the bench on Friday, scoring 18 points with two rebounds, two assists, one steal and one three. |
Burks doesn't do much besides score on most nights with the occasional flurry of assists, so his value is well below standard league level but if need a scorer he has been consistent in that department. |

Wed Mar 5 2014 | 22:25 | Alec Burks scores 19 points off the bench |
Alec Burks scored a team-high 19 points against the Wizards on Wednesday with one board, four assists, one steal and two 3-pointers in 37 minutes. |
His minutes are on the rise again after playing 38 minutes two games ago and he's also taken at least 11 shots in each of his last four. Burks has been running the offense more as Trey Burke has shifted to more of an off-the-ball guy, so he should have some bigger numbers on the way. Still, his upside is a bit low for low steals and triples. |

Sun Mar 2 2014 | 21:00 | Alec Burks posts 11/9/7 line in 38 minutes |
Alec Burks put together a complete game in Indiana on Sunday with 11 points, nine rebounds and a season-high-tying seven assists. |
This cloud had a shadow, as he shot just 5-of-16 from the field and 1-of-2 at the FT line, but overall it was a terrific performance. He was rewarded for his efforts with a team-high 38 minutes and has a full head of steam as the Jazz launch into their four-game week. |

Mon Feb 24 2014 | 23:44 | Burks scores 21 points with four assists |
Alec Burks scored 21 points on 8-of-12 shooting (including a three) with one rebound, four assists and one steal in 30 minutes off the bench on Monday. |
While Burks has averaged 20.0 points and hit respectably from the field (45.9%) and from the line (78.8%) over his last five games, the other averages of 0.6 treys, 3.8 boards, 1.4 assists, 2.8 turnovers and just 1.0 combined steals and blocks leave him as a deep league value over that span. If you're punting in a deficient area or in a format that prioritizes scoring, Utah's gunner off the bench is much more valuable. |

Thu Feb 20 2014 | 01:34 | Alec Burks puts up 23 points off bench |
Alec Burks scored a team-high 23 points against the Nets on Wednesday with six boards, three boards and one 3-pointer in 29 minutes. |
He was in attack mode tonight, shooting 7-of-14 from the field and 8-of-9 from the line. Burks is hot again over his last three, averaging 24.3 points, 4.3 boards, 1.3 steals and 1.0 triples on 60 percent shooting, but he has done this a few times this year. Although, his steals and treys are trending up, so he's well worth a look for owners in standard leagues again. |

Thu Feb 13 2014 | 02:28 | Alec Burks stays hot with 26 vs. Sixers |
Alec Burks hit 6-of-10 shots, 13-of-14 free throws and a 3-pointer on his way to 26 points, four rebounds and three steals in Wednesday's win over the Sixers. |
He's been on fire for two straight games, hitting 14-of-21 shots for an average of 25.0 points, but we've seen this movie before. He's had trouble staying consistent all season, and while we wouldn't tell you not to play him after the All-Star break, expectations need to be tempered. Especially since he won't be able to play the Sixers and Lakers every night. |

Wed Feb 12 2014 | 01:49 | Alec Burks hits 8-of-11 shots for 24 points |
Alec Burks got hot on Tuesday, hitting 8-of-11 shots and a 3-pointer for 24 points, three rebounds and a steal. |
He scored 20 points last Monday, failed to score on Friday, and had 12 points on Saturday before tonight's explosion. Simply put, he's as inconsistent as they come, making him very frustrating to own and put into lineups. |

Alec Burks scored 20 points off the bench on Monday, hitting 8-of-14 shots with three rebounds and a steal in 29 minutes. |
As usual Burks' output was not very versatile and that is his undoing in standard fantasy leagues. He benefited from the absence of Derrick Favors tonight, and when the team is at full strength he has been known to fall out of favor even in deeper leagues. |

Sun Feb 2 2014 | 02:07 | Alec Burks plays just 16 minutes Saturday |
Alec Burks played just 16 minutes off the bench on Saturday, finishing with three points, three rebounds, one assist and one 3-pointer on 1-of-8 shooting. |
He didn't have it tonight, which was quite disappointing after his 26-point explosion on Friday. He was playing pretty well coming in and is still averaging 14.6 points and 0.8 3-pointers over his last five games. But whether he should be on your fantasy roster, or in your starting lineup, is up for debate. |

Sat Feb 1 2014 | 02:26 | Burks scores 26 points off the bench for Jazz |
Alec Burks scored 26 points off the bench in Friday's loss, hitting 9-of-14 shots (1-of-1 from deep, 7-of-8 from the line) with five rebounds and three assists in 34 minutes. |
Burks got extra minutes and touches with Trey Burke struggling and eventually fouling out in just 22 minutes, but it was a solid performance nonetheless. If he can ever improve his peripherals he could have some solid fantasy upside, but for now he's only worth a look in standard leagues when he's hot like this. |

Wed Jan 22 2014 | 01:05 | Alec Burk stays hot w/ 18 in Hayward's return |
Alec Burks came off the bench and hit 6-of-14 shots and a 3-pointer for 18 points, four rebounds and three assists on Tuesday, despite the return of Gordon Hayward. |
It was nice to see Burks stay hot with Hayward back in the mix, as he's scored 18 in two straight games. Burks disappeared last Friday with a six-point game, but is still averaging 19.2 points over his last five. He'll be more inconsistent coming off the bench, but still looks like a decent option if you need a scorer. |

Tue Jan 21 2014 | 14:46 | Alec Burks expected to return to bench role |
Alec Burks is expected to return to a bench role with Gordon Hayward (hip) probable for Tuesday's game. |
Burks has played well as a fill-in starter this year, averaging 14.5 points with 2.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.0 steals per game, but coach Tyrone Corbin isn't inclined to keep him in the starting lineup. "We'll probably start [Hayward]," Corbin said, "But we'll see what gives us the best chance and what's best for him." The good news for Burks' fantasy owners is that his minutes won't drop off too far in a sixth-man role. |

Sun Jan 19 2014 | 00:55 | Alec Burks overcomes foul trouble vs. MIN |
Alec Burks overcame some foul trouble against the Wolves on Saturday with 18 points, two boards, four assists, one steal and one 3-pointer in 24 minutes. |
Considering how he played just 24 minutes, this is a very solid line. Burks has made it clear he's capable of being an effective scorer with Gordon Hayward (hip) out over the last five, averaging 18.8 points, 3.4 boards, 4.0 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.6 triples on 51.7 percent from the field. He might not be able to sustain this production, but he's earned more minutes and it's not like Richard Jefferson is the Kevin Durant of Western Conference starting small forwards. |

Thu Jan 16 2014 | 01:59 | Alec Burks scores 20 in loss to Spurs |
Alec Burks came off the bench, as usual, and hit 8-of-17 shots for 20 points, five rebounds and four assists in Wednesday's loss to the Spurs. |
Burks had a career-high 34 points on Monday and was back at it again tonight, although he didn't hit a 3-pointer in either game. And if the Jazz ever decide to bench Richard Jefferson, start Gordon Hayward at small forward and Burks at shooting guard, he's going to be even better. He's dealt with inconsistency all season, but is feeling it right now. |

Tue Jan 14 2014 | 02:28 | Burks scores career-high 34 points in win |
Alec Burks scored a career-high 34 points in the Jazz's 118-103 win over the Nuggets on Monday, hitting 13-of-19 shots with three rebounds, five assists and one steal in another start for Gordon Hayward (hip). |
Burks hit all eight of his free throws and though he didn't have a three, he spent the evening inside of the lane taking full advantage of the Nuggets' ongoing open-door policy. Only two of his makes came outside of the paint and though Burks has been serviceable in Hayward's absence, it's still hard to move the needle with Hayward day-to-day and traveling with the team for Wednesday's game against the Spurs. |

Sat Jan 11 2014 | 02:24 | Burks scores 16 points in start for Hayward |
Alec Burks started for injured Gordon Hayward (hip) in the Jazz's 113-102 loss to the Cavs on Friday, scoring 16 points on 5-of-12 shooting (including two threes) with five rebounds and two assists in 33 minutes. |
Burks hit just 4-of-7 free throws and as usual didn't have a steal or block, taking a lot of the bang out of this line's buck. Hayward has already been listed as a game-time decision for Monday's game, so owners shouldn't move the needle much, if at all on Burks' value. The loss ended a four-game Jazz winning streak. |

Fri Jan 10 2014 | 19:20 | Alec Burks will start sans Hayward Friday |
Alec Burks will move into the starting lineup against the Cavs on Friday. |
While Gordon Hayward has flourished to start 2014, Burks has not. In his last three games, Burks averaged just 8.3 points, 2.0 assists and 0.3 triples on 33.3 percent shooting. He gets a nice opportunity against a vulnerable Cavs defense, so he is a decent player to start in most formats. |

Sat Jan 4 2014 | 02:35 | Burks hits just 1-of-8 shots in Friday loss |
Alec Burks hit just 1-of-8 shots on Friday, scoring three points with three rebounds, two assists and a steal in 23 minutes. |
Burks flirted with standard league value a few weeks back but he's back to his fantasy deficient ways lately. He should be on the wire in 12-14 team formats without a doubt. |

Mon Dec 30 2013 | 23:45 | Burks posts decent line off the bench |
Alec Burks scored 14 points on 6-of-12 shooting (including a three) with six rebounds, two steals and one block in 27 minutes off the bench on Monday. |
Burks has been just a borderline value in 12-14 team leagues over the past two weeks, and the picture gets more bleak when you look at his season-long numbers that are a handful of rounds worse than that. He'll need to improve his 1.7 combined steals, blocks and threes if he's going to do anything about that. |
