Alec Burks (ankle) doubtful for Knicks on Tuesday
New York Knicks guard Alec Burks (sprained left ankle) is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
What It Means:
The sprained ankle likely explains why Burks only logged 20 minutes on Sunday after playing 30-plus the first two games. Kevin Knox, who is probable with a sore left knee, should be able to take on more usage off the bench without Burks available. Frank Ntilikina also figures to see a boost.
numberFire's models believe Knox is the sixth-best value at his position on Tuesday's slate. He's projected for 20.7 FanDuel points and has a salary of $3,600. The Cavaliers are allowing the second-fewest points per 100 possessions so far this season.
