Scores 13 points Tuesday Brooks finished with 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt), four rebounds and an assist across 24 minutes in Tuesday's 118-98 preseason win over the Pelicans.

Impact Brooks was one of three starters who scored in double digits for the Rockets in this comfortable win. The veteran forward seems ready to go for the start of the regular season against the Hornets on Oct. 23. However, the team still has one preseason game left against the Spurs on Thursday. Regardless of whether he plays against San Antonio or not, Brooks is penciled in to open the 2024-25 campaign as the Rockets' starting small forward.

Impact Brooks didn't play in the previous preseason game due to rest purposes, but the veteran wing logged some much-needed minutes in this one, as he aims to ramp up before the regular-season opener against the Hornets on Oct. 23. It seems Brooks is more than ready to start the campaign, as he finished as Houston's second-highest scorer in this game while showing an accurate touch from beyond the arc. Brooks is penciled in to open the campaign as the starting small forward, flanked by Jalen Green at shooting guard and Jabari Smith at power forward.
