Rotowire
Brooks is questionable for Monday's game against the Thunder due to a right knee contusion.

Rotowire
Brooks posted seven points (2-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and one assist over 21 minutes during Thursday's 105-98 loss to Golden State.
Brooks' 21 minutes logged were his fewest in a game since Jan. 7, as Jae'Sean Tate received 27 minutes of action off the bench. However, Brooks still continued to hot shooting from behind the arc, converting 41.0 percent of his 6.1 three-point attempts per contest over his last 10 outings.
Brooks supplied 19 points (5-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 7-9 FT), seven rebounds and two assists across 37 minutes during Sunday's 94-87 win over the Raptors.
Brooks led the Rockets with 19 points during this low-scoring affair.

During this span, Brooks has averaged 16.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 3.0 threes in 34.6 minutes while shooting 44.8 percent from beyond the arc.

Rotowire
Brooks contributed 36 points (13-23 FG, 10-15 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds and one steal over 40 minutes during Monday's 114-112 victory over Boston.
Brooks and Amen Thompson were everywhere in this win for Boston, combining for 69 points. Brooks' 36 points set a new season-high mark, and he's now scored 25 or more points in four games this campaign. This performance was an outlier in what's been a pretty quiet month, however. In 13 January appearances, Brooks was held to single-digit points six times.

Rockets' Dillon Brooks: Posts 22 points in lopsided win
Rotowire
Brooks totaled 22 points (9-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 37 minutes during Saturday's 125-103 victory over Portland.
Brooks came alive in the third quarter, joining Jalen Green in a scoring romp that put the game away for the Rockets. Jabari Smith (hand) will be out until March, and Brooks will be called upon to absorb some of the missing output. The projected production boost should put Brooks back on the fantasy radar as a viable waiver wire add, as he's likely available in deeper leagues.

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 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.
