Excellent against Kings Brooks finished Saturday's 107-89 victory over Sacramento with 26 points (9-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one steal across 38 minutes.

Impact Brooks notched his best performance of the season and was dominant in the second half, particularly in the fourth quarter, where he scored 11 of his 16 points. Brooks is known for his defensive tenacity, but he's been a lethal shooter for the Rockets in the early stages of the campaign, draining multiple threes in all but one of his outings and hitting 12 of his 20 attempts from beyond the arc. That pace is unsustainable, but if he can hover around the 18-point range, he'd be a strong fantasy asset in most formats due to his contributions in other categories.

Efficient performance in loss Brooks finished with 14 points (5-7 FG, 4-6 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 116-86 loss to the Magic.

Impact Brooks is not known for being an efficient shooter, and his weaknesses were in full display during the 2022-23 postseason, but that was not the case in this season opener, as he missed just two shots from the field. Despite the solid output in this season opener, Brooks projects to be little more than the fourth option for the Rockets on offense, behind Jalen Green, Fred VanVleet and Jabari Smith.
