Scores 20 points off bench Monday
Burton notched 20 points (6-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 7-7 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal across 28 minutes during Monday's 146-107 loss to Atlanta.
Analyse
Burton posted an impressive performance off the bench in this blowout loss and ended just two rebounds shy of recording what would've been his first double-double of the season. Burton has scored in double digits in his last three appearances off the bench, so he might be a solid player to target as a waiver pickup and streaming alternative down the stretch, especially if the Grizzlies start to rest regulars more often. Burton's last three performances have shown promise.

Gets another 10-day deal
Burton signed a second 10-day contract with the Grizzlies on Monday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Analyse
This was a no-brainer for a Memphis team that is struggling with injuries. During his first stint with the club, Burton averaged 8.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.7 three-pointers, 0.8 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.3 blocks in 25.2 minutes.

Explodes for 23 points
Burton notched 23 points (7-13 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 32 minutes during Friday's 117-112 loss to the Celtics.
Analyse
Burton signed a 10-day contract with the Grizzlies via a hardship exception on March 12, and he certainly made a strong impression in this game -- just when the deal was about to expire. Burton has logged 20-plus minutes in four of his five appearances with the Grizzlies, but this was the first one in which he scored in double digits. It remains to be seen if he'll remain with the team once his current deal expires March 21.
