Dillon the Villain strikes again Brooks amassed 17 points (7-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 28 minutes during Monday's 135-119 victory over the Lakers.
Impact Brooks snapped a 2-for-10 mini-slump from beyond the arc Monday, posting his first game with above 50.0 percent shooting since Jan. 15. His physical tone-setting got Jarred Vanderbilt ejected in the first half, and he taxing LeBron James (23 points) throughout the contest. Another prime-time matchup awaits Brooks when Houston takes on Brandon Ingram and New Orleans on Wednesday.

Scores at volume again Brooks chipped in 19 points (7-17 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 39 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 106-104 loss to the Nets.
Impact Brooks is averaging 17.5 points on 14.3 shots per game over his last four contests. Prior to heralding himself and making a case as one of the best wing defenders in the league, Brooks was an inefficient, volume-based scorer for Memphis alongside some defensive chops. He'll likely return to role-player usage in coming weeks, but Saturday's production is realistic on nights when Houston's frontcourt is shorthanded. Jabari Smith (ankle) didn't play Saturday.

Scores 23 points in loss Brooks supplied 25 points (8-23 FG, 5-15 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, one assist and four steals over 40 minutes during Sunday's 116-107 loss to Boston.
Impact Even though Brooks needed 23 shots to score 25 points, the veteran wing posted a solid fantasy stat line in a game where he also had to deal with guarding one of the best offenses in the NBA. Brooks has scored in double digits in four of his last five appearances since returning from an oblique injury earlier this month, but at the same time, this was just his fifth game with 20 or more points in 2023-24.

Scores 12 points in return Brooks (oblique) tallied 12 points (3-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-6 FT), one rebound and one steal across 25 minutes in Saturday's 145-113 loss to the Celtics.
Impact In his return from a nine-game absence due to a right oblique strain, Brooks took back his spot in the starting five from Jae'Sean Tate, who was moved to the bench. Due to the blowout nature of the contest, none of the Houston starters topped 28 minutes, so Brooks didn't appear to be on a strict playing-time restriction despite falling below his season average of 30.7 minutes per game. The veteran wing looks as though he'll remain locked into a key role for Houston moving forward, but he should be viewed mostly as a streaming option for three-pointers and steals rather than a must-roster player in 12-team leagues or shallower.

Suiting up against Boston Brooks (oblique) will play in Saturday's game versus the Celtics, Kelly Iko of The Athletic reports.
Impact Brooks will return to action Saturday after missing the previous nine games with a right oblique strain. The 27-year-old forward will likely replace Jae'Sean Tate in the starting lineup. However, it wouldn't be surprising to see Brooks on a minutes restriction.

Probable to face Boston Brooks (oblique) is listed as probable to face the Celtics on Saturday.
Impact The probable tag is encouraging, and it sounds as if Brooks could be available for this matchup against one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference. Brooks has been a full participant in practices and also said he expected to return to action during the current road trip, so things are going in the right direction for him. Brooks has missed Houston's last nine games but was averaging 13.6 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game before suffering the oblique problem in late December.

Impact Brooks will miss a seventh straight game Monday in Miami, and based on Lerner's report, the veteran wing doesn't look like he'll be available for any of the Rockets' other three games this week while he continues to recover from a right oblique strain. In Brooks' ongoing absence, Jae'Sean Tate is expected to continue starting at small forward, while rookies Amen Thompson and Cam Whitmore should benefit from elevated roles off the bench.

Expected to miss multiple games Coach Ime Udoka said Brooks (oblique) will miss about a week but didn't offer a definitive return timetable, Adam Wexler of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
Impact Udoka said he doesn't think Brooks' injury will be a long-term issue, but the shooting guard is expected to miss multiple games. Jabari Smith (ankle) is also without a return timetable, so Tari Eason, Amen Thompson, Jae'Sean Tate and Jeff Green are all candidates for extended minutes over the next couple of games.
