Alec Burks letting it fly for Pistons


Wednesday night in the NBA featured a lot of fun, exciting games, though none were better than the late ones. The Jazz beat the Pistons in overtime, with regulation ending with four 3-pointers in the final 32 seconds. The Kings beat Orlando in double overtime, with Paolo Banchero forcing the second with a late layup. The Hawks nearly blew a 21-point lead to the Thunder, but Isaiah Joe wasn’t able to knock down the game-tying triple.

We also had dominant performances from players like Luka Doncic (41 points, 30 at halftime), Banchero (43 points), Domantas Sabonis (22/23/12), Tyrese Haliburton (31/12) and many, many more that made a huge impact for fantasy managers.

Remember, there are only two games on Thursday, so adjust your waivers accordingly. The Spurs and Bucks face off in the early game, and the Nuggets and Warriors will play in the late one. Players that may not be enticing fantasy options will be worth streaming to get that extra bit of production.

Aside from that, here are the players that are worth adding after Wednesday’s games:

Alec Burks- 7% rostered in Yahoo leagues

It seemed like a fluke at first, but Burks has been playing really well off the bench for the Pistons. Over his last five games, he is averaging 18.2 points and 3.4 triples per game. He set new season-highs on Wednesday with 27 points and five 3-pointers in 34 minutes during their overtime loss. He has seen minutes with more consistency than Jaden Ivey recently, despite coming off the bench.

Bol Bol- 2%

I’ve been skeptical about Bol for a while, but he has played really well over the last two games. While playing less than 20 minutes in each, he is averaging 12.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.5 triples. Even when Kevin Durant returns, Bol should remain in the rotation. He hasn’t blocked a shot in either of their last two games, but he is more than capable, so those should come.

Eric Gordon- 30%

EG has been solid all year, though most of his good games have come when at least…
