Brooks provided nine points (3-11 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and four steals across 39 minutes during Monday's 120-118 win over the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

Brooks recorded a season-high four steals, and that's something he's achieved eight times in his career -- he finished one steal shy of his career-best mark (5). Despite this strong showing on the defensive end, Brooks has been struggling from a fantasy perspective recently. Over his last six games, he's shooting 30.0 percent from the field with averages of 9.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.0 three-pointers.

Brooks finished with 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt), one rebound and two assists in 18 minutes during Tuesday's 135-112 victory over Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Brooks picked up four fouls in 18 minutes which limited his output on the stat sheet. For the season, he ranks just outside the top 150 in nine-category formats due to a mediocre field-goal percentage (42.1 percent) and a lack of defensive stats with 0.7 steals and 0.3 blocks.

Brooks didn't practice Tuesday due to personal reasons, but he's not listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks.

EDGE Analysis

Brooks returned to action Sunday after missing three straight games due to an ankle sprain and posted 22 points in 40 minutes during a loss to Miami. Over his last 13 appearances, the veteran wing has averaged 16.8 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 33.9 minutes per game.

EDGE Analysis

After a three-game absence due to right ankle soreness, Brooks paced the Rockets with 22 points and appeared to face no restrictions over 40 minutes in his return action Sunday. The streaky Brooks is heating up recently, averaging 19.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.7 blocks and 3.5 threes in 36.5 minutes while shooting 40.4 percent from deep across his last six appearances. As long as head coach Ime Udoka continues to task him with such a heavy amount of playing time, Brooks should continue serving as a solid source of points and triples for fantasy managers, although the 28-year-old three-and-D wing's style of play remains more conducive to points leagues overall.

Brooks is in the Rockets' starting lineup against the Heat on Sunday, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brooks has been sidelined for the Rockets' last three games due to right ankle soreness. In the 10 games prior to his injury, he averaged 15.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists over 34.5 minutes per game.

Brooks (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

Brooks wasn't listed on the Rockets' injury report prior to being ruled out, and it's possible he tweaked his ankle during warmups. His absence should open up more opportunities for Amen Thompson and Cam Whitmore. Brooks' next chance to play will come Thursday at New Orleans -- the first leg of a back-to-back set.
