Brooks contributed 21 points (8-17 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist and two steals in 21 minutes during Sunday's 128-101 win over Sacramento.
He's scored 20-plus points in two of his three appearances since returning from a hamstring injury, averaging 17.7 points and 4.3 rebounds in 22.0 minutes per game during that time. Brooks' shooting from the field can be inconsistent and his peripheral production is unreliable, but he's now sitting on a career-best 18.6 points per game, while his 42.3 field-goal percentage is a four-year high. His arrow seems to be pointing up.
