Brooks registered 32 points (12-18 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), one rebound and one steal in 28 minutes during Thursday's 133-98 win over Indiana.

EDGE Analysis

Brooks played a key role in the victory, combining with Devin Booker for 65 points on the night. The Oregon product posted an impressive shooting line, hitting three triples for a second straight game while going perfect from the charity stripe. While Brooks can typically be relied on to tack on double figures, he went above and beyond his usual production Thursday, setting a new season high in scoring.

Brooks supplied 18 points (6-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 123-114 win over the Mavericks.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran wing continues to supply solid secondary scoring for the Suns, at least when he's on the court. Since returning from a six-game absence due to a groin strain, Brooks has averaged 17.3 points, 3.0 boards, 2.3 assists, 2.0 threes and 1.3 steals in 28.3 minutes a contest.

Brooks finished Monday's 121-98 victory over New Orleans with 18 points (4-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 9-10 FT), five rebounds and one steal across 26 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Brooks struggled badly from the floor and was unable to make a significant impact as a scoring weapon, although the fact that he made nine of his 10 shots from the charity stripe salvaged his fantasy line. Brooks, who missed six games due to a groin injury between Oct. 27 and Nov. 6, has scored at least 15 points in each of his five appearances this season but has struggled with efficiency. The veteran forward is shooting 38.5 percent from the floor and 30 percent from deep.

Brooks (groin) will be available to play Saturday against the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

Brooks is set to return from a six-game absence Saturday, which could result in Royce O'Neale heading back to the second unit. Brooks will likely have his minutes monitored in his first game back, but with him back in the rotation, Ryan Dunn could have his playing time impacted.

Brooks (groin) is questionable to play Saturday against the Clippers, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brooks has missed the Suns' last six games, but the bump in his status suggests the veteran forward might have a chance to play this weekend. Brooks hasn't played for the Suns since logging 31 minutes in a 133-111 loss to the Nuggets on Oct. 25. If he's unable to suit up, expect Ryan Dunn and Grayson Allen to see more minutes at the three.

Brooks (groin) will not suit up for Thursday's game against the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

Brooks is set to miss his sixth straight game Thursday, but it's worth noting that he was able to get through an extended workout Tuesday. His potential return date remains foggy, as his pain tolerance will play a factor in how quickly he's able to get back out there, but Brooks is in a "good place," according to head coach Jordan Ott, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Brooks (groin) is out for Tuesday's game against the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

Brooks hasn't suited up since Oct. 25 while dealing with a right groin injury. Expect Royce O'Neale and Ryan Dunn to see plenty of opportunities until Brooks can make his return to the court.

Brooks (groin) will not play Sunday against the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

This will be the fourth game in a row on the shelf for Brooks, though he's considered day-to-day for the time being. Royce O'Neale and Ryan Dunn are likely to continue to soak up a ton of minutes at the forward spots for Phoenix in Brooks' absence.

Brooks (groin) will remain on the sidelines for Friday's game against the Jazz, Shane Young of Forbes.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Friday will mark the third consecutive game on the sidelines for Brooks, which should result in another start for Royce O'Neale and more minutes for Isaiah Livers. Brooks' next chance to play will come Sunday against the Spurs.

Head coach Jordan Ott called Brooks (groin) day-to-day Wednesday, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brooks was ruled out on Phoenix's initial injury report for Wednesday's game against Memphis, his second straight absence due to groin soreness. However, it looks like he's close to returning, and his next chance will be Friday against Utah.
