New York Knicks guard Alec Burks (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Boston Celtics.

Eric Gordon Sitting Out Saturday

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (leg) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He continues to deal with left leg tightness and will be forced to sit this one out.
