While Burks has been a consistent member of the Heat rotation, Jovic has not appeared in a game since fracturing his hand just after the All-Star. Whether or not Nikola will be available for Miami’s play-in tournament matchup with the Bulls is unknown, but the Heat have no such concerns with Burks. The Heat are locked into the 10-seed regardless of Sunday’s result, so players like Keshad Johnson and Josh Christopher should play plenty.

Burks’ status is up in the air and Highsmith remains one of Miami’s most reliable reserves. Duncan Robinson could step in for Burks if he’s ruled out. Kyle Anderson could steal some minutes from Highsmith if he’s unable to lace up on Monday.

Despite starting Miami’s last seven games, Burks has not been on the radar of most fantasy leagues, and with good reason. He’s been far too inconsistent, so he remains rostered in just one percent of Yahoo! leagues. Saturday’s performance was Burks’s best this season, as he recorded a season-high point total and hit six three-pointers. For managers whose leagues run through Week 23, Miami’s four-game week may offer some intrigue, especially since they’re active on Monday. However, Burks boasts an extremely low floor, especially if Tyler Herro can play.

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 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.

Burks has played through this back injury for Miami’s last handful of games, and if he is available again, he should remain in the starting unit with Duncan Robinson sidelined with his own back injury. Burks has averaged 14 points and four three-pointers over the Heat’s last two games as a starter. If Burks is out, Davion Mitchell may slide into the starting unit, with Terry Rozier and Jaime Jaquez Jr. returning to the rotation.

Burks got the starting nod on Tuesday and will likely remain in that role once again with Duncan Robinson (back) still sidelined. Burks logged 24 minutes in that game and contributed 17 points with five three-pointers. He has some streaming appeal if he remains in the starting group.

The Heat are without Duncan Robinson (back) for Tuesday’s game, opening up a spot in the starting lineup. Burks will fill the void, but he is a risky deep-league streaming option on most nights. Managers in dire need of three-pointers can roll the dice, but it may be best to seek options from other teams.

Burks has been cleared to play after missing two weeks with a back injury. Due to Andrew Wiggins’ continued absences, rotation minutes should be available to the veteran guard. However, Burks is not a must-add player in this spot. The Heat have two more games after Wednesday, so a quality performance against the Pistons could put Burks on the deep-league radar for those matchups.

Burks didn’t travel with the team on this road trip and is set to miss the next two games, extending his streak to seven consecutive absences. He only has fantasy value when he’s healthy and the Heat are missing multiple starters.

This will be a fifth-straight absence for Burks, and he was immediately listed as out instead of initially being deemed questionable. However, the rest of the backcourt is healthy, so his spot in the rotation wasn’t guaranteed.

Burks has missed Miami’s last three games with a back strain, but he could be back in the lineup against Los Angeles. He was starting prior to this injury, but he will likely return to a reserve role when he is made available, which will eliminate any streaming value that he held.

Burks will miss a third-straight game due to lower back pain. Burks started three games in a row prior to this stint on the sidelines, but with Tyler Herro healthy, that won’t continue when he returns. Duncan Robinson, Terry Rozier and Jaime Jaquez Jr. will continue to dominate the reserve minutes on the perimeter.

With Burks joining Tyler Herro, Andrew Wiggins and Jaime Jaquez Jr. as questionable for Friday’s game, the Heat’s rotation will be dependent on the status of quite a few players. Herro, Wiggins and Jaquez Jr. missed Miami’s game on Wednesday, which allowed Burks and Terry Rozier to start. If Burks joins the rest of them on the sidelines, Duncan Robinson could move into the starting lineup.

The Heat are without Andrew Wiggins and Jaime Jaquez Jr.; both are out with ankle injuries. Burks moves into the starting lineup to face the team he’s played for on two occasions. The promotion gives him a shot at achieving fantasy relevance, but Burks is not a must-add player in this spot.
