Pistons' Alec Burks (forearm) uncertain Thursday
Detroit Pistons guard Alec Burks (forearm) is questionable for Thursday versus the New Orleans Pelicans.
What It Means:
Burks was a late scratch on Wednesday and he may remain out for the second leg of the back-to-back. That would mean more minutes again for Marcus Sasser and Joe Harris off the bench.
Burks has a $4,900 salary on Thursday’s four-game slate and numberFire's models project him for 22.3 FanDuel points over 23.9 minutes. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Pistons’ implied total (105.25) is second-lowest on the board today. The Pelicans are allowing the third-most FanDuel points per game to centers so far this season.
