Brooks chipped in a team-high 27 points (6-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 13-14 FT), six rebounds, two assists and three steals across 37 minutes during Sunday's 114-110 victory over Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

While he's best known for his defense, Brooks has been making an impact on offense as well of late. He's scored more than 25 points in back-to-back contests, the first time he's accomplished that since joining the Rockets for the 2023-24 season, and he's produced at least 14 points in six of eight games to begin December, averaging 16.8 points, 5.3 boards, 2.8 threes, 2.0 assists and 1.0 steals on the month while shooting 40.0 percent (22-for-55) from beyond the arc.

Brooks had 26 points (10-16 FG, 6-10 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Thursday's 133-113 victory over the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

Brooks delivered an efficient performance while logging his third 20-plus-point outing of the season. The 28-year-old has produced a solid season thus far, and he is on pace to shoot a career-high 38.9 percent from beyond the arc. Over his last five appearances, Brooks has averaged 16.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.0 steals across 35.6 minutes per contest.

Brooks (illness) is available for Saturday's game against the Thunder, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brooks was initially listed as questionable Friday due to an illness, but the veteran forward will suit up Saturday and should handle his regular workload in this game. Brooks has yet to miss a contest this season and is averaging 12.6 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game as Houston's starting small forward.

Brooks is listed as questionable for Saturday's NBA Cup Semifinals matchup with the Thunder due to an illness, Ben DuBose of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brooks' status Saturday will depend on how he is feeling closer to game time. If he is ultimately unable to play, Amen Thompson and Tari Eason would be candidates to absorb his minutes, while Cam Whitmore and Reed Sheppard could also see some run as well.

Brooks supplied 19 points (7-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal in 38 minutes during Sunday's 117-106 win over the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran wing delivered one of his best all-around performances of the season, recording at least five boards and five assists in the same game for the first time in 2024-25 while producing at least one steal and one block for the first time since Oct. 26. Brooks also drained multiple threes for the fourth straight game and the sixth time in the last eight contests, and over the latter stretch, he's averaging 15.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.6 threes and 2.1 assists while shooting 42.9 percent (21-for-49) from long distance.

Brooks accumulated 15 points (6-13 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 35 minutes during Thursday's 99-93 loss to the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

Draymond Green (calf) wasn't on the floor Thursday night, so we didn't get to see Brooks mix it up with his rival. Brooks' disdain for Green and the Warriors is well-documented, and he made an impact in the contest despite going cold beyond the arc. While he's popped in a few games, Brooks' totals have been hit-or-miss this season, and he should be regarded as a risk-reward fantasy option.

Brooks ended Tuesday's 117-111 overtime win over the Timberwolves with 22 points (8-14 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 41 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Brooks dropped at least 20 points for just the second time this season, helping the Rockets to an impressive road victory. Despite starting every game for the Rockets so far, Brooks has managed modest averages of just 13.1 points and 2.2 three-pointers per game. Known as a defensive stopper, Brooks' abilities have not translated to production, as he is currently delivering just 0.6 steals per game.

Brooks had 28 points (10-15 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds and one assist in 25 minutes during Friday's 116-88 win over the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

Brooks led the Rockets in scoring Friday and delivered a season-high mark in scoring while reaching the 20-point mark for the first time in 2024-25. Don't expect Brooks to emerge as one of the Rockets' main offensive options going forward, but he remains valuable in most fantasy formats due to his starting status and ability to make a consistent two-way impact. He's averaging 12.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 0.7 steals per game in November.

Brooks finished Wednesday's 130-113 win over the Pacers with four points (1-10 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, three assists and one block in 22 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Brooks was ice cold from the field, connecting on just one of his 10 shot attempts. Despite playing upward of 30 minutes per night, Brooks is averaging just 11.6 points and 1.9 three-pointers. While he is penciled in as an elite wing defender, he is delivering 0.7 steals per contest, well below what might be considered serviceable.

Brooks accumulated 17 points (6-12 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and one assist in 27 minutes during Friday's 126-107 loss to the Thunder.

EDGE Analysis

The Rockets' first unit has been locked in all season, and the team is staying with Brooks over Amen Thompson for the time being. Thompson has played well enough to push this issue, but Brooks is also posting adequate stat lines at the wing. Notably, Brooks is converting 52.2 percent of his shots this season, which is identical to Thompson's result through nine games.
