Alec Burks scores 17 points in blowout loss

Alec Burks tallied 17 points (6-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT) along with six boards and five assists across 30 minutes in Cleveland's 118-94 loss to Miami Friday night.

Fantasy Implications: The 17 points are the most Burks has registered in his last 10 starts.  In that span, the former Jazz guard has scored in double-digits only four times, averaging 8.8 points, and shooting a poor 32.3 percent (31-for-96) from the floor.  He can be avoided in most formats.
