Analysis:

Burks has been dealing with the shoulder issue for most of the season but has been able to play through discomfort and hopes to put off surgery until the offseason. He'll miss a third straight game as the Jazz look to get back on track after falling to the Clippers 101-97 on Monday night. In Burks' absence, rookie Rodney Hood has been able to move into the starting lineup.
