Ronnie Brewer had 15 points in Wednesday's win over the Bucks. He's starting at shooting guard in place of Rip Hamilton, who has now missed 11 straight games with a groin injury. He's scored 15 and 13 points in his last two, but was struggling previously. He's worth a deep-league look for as long as Hamilton is out, but you have to think Hamilton will be close to returning shortly after the All-Star break.

Ronnie Brewer was invisible in Saturday's loss to the lowly Nets, scoring just five points in 28 minutes, with one rebound, one assist, zero steals and two turnovers. Brewer is basically a steals specialist even with the starting job in hand, and things will get worse once Rip Hamilton is healthy. The Bulls' starters were conspicuously outplayed on Sunday, and as a unit they shot just 17-of-43 from the field.

Ronnie Brewer went hitless on three shot attempts on Thursday, scoring zero points with one rebound, one assist, and one block in 20 minutes. Brewer has scored in double figures just once in February, and after a brief run of some big nights he has lost his fantasy value. With Richard Hamilton (groin, leg) set to return at some point, it's time to drop Brewer if you're relying on him in super deep formats.

Ronnie Brewer started for injured Richard Hamilton (groin, leg, personal) in Monday's win over the Nets, scoring 12 points on 5-of-11 shooting (including two threes) with one rebound and one assist in 25 minutes. The minutes were down due to the blowout win, and Brewer will continue to be worth a look while Hamilton is out. Hamilton is currently questionable for Wednesday's game against the Hornets.

Ronnie Brewer scored just six points on 2-of-3 shooting with three rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block in 28 minutes on Thursday against the Knicks. Brewer has slowed down recently and a string of small forward assignments in LeBron James, Andre Iguodala, and Carmelo Anthony tonight might be at the root of it. Things lighten up against the Bucks and Nets, so don't be surprised if he picks it up if Luol Deng (wrist) stays out.

Ronnie Brewer started for injured Luol Deng (wrist) and hit just 2-of-10 shots from the field on Monday against the Wizards, scoring six points with six rebounds and two steals in 39 minutes. Brewer has averaged just over 11 shot attempts per game in his last five outings with Deng out, hitting only four of them per game. Still, he has been providing good value averaging 11 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 1.6 steals per game over that span, and should be ridden until Deng returns.

Ronnie Brewer made another start for Luol Deng on Wednesday and torched the Pacers for 20 points, 10 rebounds, five assists and three steals on 8-of-15 shooting. News broke earlier on Wednesday that Deng plans on playing Sunday, which could really stifle Brewer's value. Additionally, Rip Hamilton looks like a better add than Brewer, who has yet to prove he can do this consistently.

Ronnie Brewer started for injured Luol Deng (wrist) on Monday, scoring 11 points on 4-of-10 shooting (including a three) with five rebounds and a block in 27 minutes. If he can continue this level of production it will be considered a win, though we know to expect more steals. If you need a wing player for your fantasy squad give him a look, but we need to see consistency before making him a recommended add in 12-team formats.

Beat writer K.C. Johnson expects Ronnie Brewer to start at small forward in place of Luol Deng (wrist). Deng's wrist injury was serious enough that he needed an MRI and was at the doctor Monday. Brewer could be looking at a fistful of consecutive starts. The defensive stopper started 10 games at shooting guard earlier this season, averaging 7.7 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game. Brewer's offensive skills are capped and he'll share minutes with Kyle Korver.

Ronnie Brewer was scoreless on Saturday for the first time this season, as he missed all three of his shots attempts in 16 minutes off the bench. Brewer played well as a fill-in starter while Rip Hamilton was out, but Rip is back and Kyle Korver (two points, 23 minutes) seems to be ahead of Brewer in the rotation. Cut him, if you haven't already.
