Brooks scored 22 points (8-23 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT) to go along with two rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 35 minutes Tuesday against the Wizards. Brooks has played at least 31 minutes in each of the last three games, but has shot 34.8 percent from the field or less in each of those games. He is going to get plenty of playing time with all of the Bulls injuries and should contribute in points and three-pointers, but it appears he's not going to provide much when it comes to field goal percentage.

Brooks scored 14 points (5-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt) to go along with three assists and one rebound in 31 minutes. Brooks has now played 30 minutes per game in the three games since the Derrick Rose injury. Adding Jimmy Butler to the injury list Sunday, Aaron Brooks will command starting minutes for 3-4 weeks. Taking 12, 15 and 17 shots in his last three games respectively, fantasy owners should fire up those engines as Brooks will be taking a healthy number of shots per game in Rose and Butler's absence.

Brooks registered six points (2-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists, and one steal in 31 minutes during Friday's game against the Timberwolves. Brooks should see considerable time on the court moving forward in the absence of Derrick Rose (knee). The replacement had a rough night shooting the ball Friday but the fact that he was allowed to take 15 shots likely means that he has some productive games in his future based on the amount of opportunities he's in line to see.

Brooks will start at point guard Friday versus Minnesota, Nick Friedell of ESPN Chicago reports. Brooks will notch his second straight start in the absence of Derrick Rose (knee), who has been ruled out for 4-to-6 weeks after undergoing meniscus surgery. Kirk Hinrich is Chicago's only other point guard, and it appears Tom Thibodeau will continue to bring the veteran off the bench, though that's certainly subject to change on a game-to-game basis. Brooks certainly is not the most efficient point guard (31% FG in February), but he's proven capable of scoring in bunches, making him a high-risk, high-reward option in daily formats.

Brooks scored 12 points (4-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-8 FT) with four assists, two steals and a block in 28 minutes during Wednesday's loss to the Hornets. He's normally much more reliable at the charity stripe (85.0% free throw shooter in his career), but Brooks struggled with his shot in his first start since Derrick Rose's latest knee injury. Don't expect him to supply anything beyond points and threes despite his increased workload, however.

Brooks will get the start at point guard Wednesday, the Chicago Tribune's K.C. Johnson reports. With Derrick Rose (knee) out for the season, Brooks becomes a must-add in most formats, given Kirk Hinrich's complete lack of upside. It is unlikely that Brooks will do much in terms of assists, but he could average 15-16 points per game if he is seeing starter's minutes.

Brooks had 15 points (6-15 FG, 3-5 3Pt) to go with two assists and a rebound over 22 minutes Thursday against the Lakers. Brooks got a bump in minutes thanks to the game going to two overtime periods, but it's worth noting that he has scored in double figures in four of his last five games. Brooks is averaging two 3-pointers per game over that span, making him a decent bargain bin option in daily formats.

Brooks scored 13 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) to go along with three rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 21 minutes Saturday against the Hawks. Brooks is averaging 12.0 points and 2.0 three-pointers over his last four games as the Bulls continue to rely on him for offense with both Mike Dunleavy (ankle) and Doug McDermott (knee) out of action. He may see a slight decrease in minutes when they both return, but not much as the Bulls like his scoring punch off of the bench. His fantasy value remains limited because he doesn't contribute much outside of points and three-pointers.

Brooks scored 19 points (6-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT) in 20 minutes off the Bulls' bench in the overtime win against Boston on Saturday. The Bulls were looking for an offensive spark with Jimmy Butler (personal) out and Derrick Rose slumping: Brooks provided it. He has scored 31 points in his last two games and could be used for 3-pointers in a pinch in deeper fantasy leagues.

Brooks scored 17 points (6-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT) Friday in a win over the Grizzlies while Derrick Rose sat out his second straight game with an illness. Brooks scored 18 on Thursday as well with Rose out. This time, Brooks played a season-high 32 minutes while starter Kirk Hinrich struggled to get anything going. When Rose sits, Brooks could be worth a start, especially in daily leagues.
