Dallas Mavericks guard Trey Burke will remain out on Friday when the team takes on the Washington Wizards. Burke entered the league's health and safety protocols earlier this week after he failed to take his daily COVID-19 test. Friday's contest will be his third consecutive missed game. Burke's playing time has been spotty lately, so his absence hasn't meant a ton to the team. His next chance to return will be on Sunday against the Milwaukee Bucks.
Dallas Mavericks guard Trey Burke has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He'll join teammate Sterling Brown in the league's health and safety protocols. Neither player has a huge impact on the rotation, but hopefully this won't spread to the rest of the team. Burke has been battling an illness lately and played four minutes during Sunday's game against the Utah Jazz. Jalen Brunson and Spencer Dinwiddie should see slightly more minutes with Burke and Brown out on Tuesday.
Dallas Mavericks guard Trey Burke (shoulder) will play against the visiting Sacramento Kings on Saturday. The veteran missed his previous six games because of a left shoulder sprain. However, his return couldn't come at a better time, primarily since the Mavs will be without Luka Doncic (toe), who is sidelined because of a left toe sprain, and Maxi Kleber (ankle). While Jalen Brunson and Spencer Dinwiddie will likely handle most of the work out of the backcourt, there is plenty of room for Burke to be involved, making him a viable option in seasonal and DFS formats.
Dallas Mavericks guards Trey Burke (shoulder) and Frank Ntilikina (ankle) have been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Burke is dealing with a left shoulder sprain while Ntilikina has a right ankle sprain. Both players have been phased out of the rotation lately as Spencer Dinwiddie has been the team's primary guard off the bench, backing up Luka Doncic and Jalen Brunson. Josh Green has been the only other guard who has seen regular playing time lately.
Luka Doncic, Trey Burke Land In COVID-19 Protocols
Dallas Mavericks guards Luka Doncic and Trey Burke have entered the league's health and safety protocols. Doncic was already sidelined due to an ankle issue, but now could miss possibly 10 days. The absence of Burke is going to leave the Mavericks with little depth at the guard position. They've signed Brandon Knight and Carlik Jones, but neither need to be rostered in fantasy formats. Jalen Brunson is looking at all the minutes he can handle and is a must-have fantasy option right now.
Dallas Mavericks guard Trey Burke had a great night in Monday's 120-96 win over Charlotte, scoring a season-high 22 points on 9-for-14 shooting. He was 4-for-7 with his three-pointers and helped out with three rebounds, six assists and one steal as well. Burke has always had the ability to heat up in a hurry, but he hasn't earned a lot of playing this season, and we shouldn't get too excited by Burke's effort against the Grizzlies either, as the game turned into a blowout very quickly. He averages just 7.4 points for the season, which shows that Monday was a one-off thing.
Trey Burke Catches Fire From Deep In 29-Point Outing
Dallas Mavericks point/shooting guard Trey Burke returned to the mix for Saturday's win over the Magic after having missed the team's previous game due to an illness. He showed no ill effects Saturday, as he was scorching hot from the field, shooting 11-for-13 overall, including 7-for-8 from long range across his 21 minutes en route to a season-high 29-point showing. Burke also added four assists off the bench to deliver in spades for those fantasy managers who rolled the dice on him in DFS due to Dallas' roster constraints under the league's health and safety protocols. Should Jalen Brunson miss additional time, Burke should continue to serve as Luka Doncic's backup at the PG slot, although his output will likely be tied directly to his long range shooting.
Dallas Mavericks point guard Trey Burke (illness) has been cleared to participate in Saturday's contest versus Orlando, ending an illness-related absence at one game. Burke's return is much needed, as Dallas is set to be down multiple players due to the league's health and safety protocols. Without Jalen Brunson in action, Burke should serve as Luka Doncic's primary backup at PG, and could see some DFS punt play upside due to the scoring potential that he has showcased in his career when given ample shot attempts. Once Dallas returns to full health, Burke can be safely placed back on the wire due to his limited minutes allotment.
Dallas Mavericks guard Trey Burke (illness) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He is currently dealing with an illness and it's unclear how much time he's going to miss. Jalen Brunson and Tyrell Terry are expected to see more playing time in Burke's absence. Brunson is the more reliable option between the two guards.
Dallas Mavericks guard Trey Burke (ankle) is listed as questionable for Game 6 against the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday. He has been listed as probable since Game 2, but managed to play on Tuesday. Burke dropped 15 points in 29 minutes during their last contest. He could be a fairly appealing DFS option with Luka Doncic (ankle) questionable for Thursday. Fantasy owners should check back later for another update.
