Brooks accumulated 22 points (7-20 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five rebounds and one assist in 35 minutes during Sunday's 117-93 loss to the Clippers.
Brooks wasn't a model of efficiency from the field overall but capitalized from beyond the arc, knocking down four three-pointers. The veteran wing, who's averaging 2.5 made threes per game this season, has hit multiple triples in five straight contests and has drilled four threes in a single game 11 times this campaign.

Suns' Dillon Brooks: Scores game-high 27 points
Rotowire
Brooks notched 27 points (9-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-8 FT), two rebounds, three assists and two steals across 24 minutes in Friday's 126-113 win over the Cavaliers.
Brooks was the only player to reach 20 points in this game, and although he didn't stand out in any other categories, he turned in a rewarding fantasy effort. Brooks isn't expected to carry the Suns offensively on a regular basis, but he's going through his most productive stretch of the season while Devin Booker (ankle) is sidelined. This was his fourth straight game with at least 25 points, and he's reached the 20-point mark in nine of his 16 outings in January.

Suns' Dillon Brooks: Propels Suns to win
Rotowire
Brooks tallied 40 points (13-22 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 10-12 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block across 33 minutes during Thursday's 114-96 victory over the Pistons.
Brooks was clearly locked in on the offensive end and set a new career high in scoring while drilling 59.1 percent of his field-goal attempts, on a night when the Suns were giving away t-shirts with his nickname on them. He was also more involved than usual on the boards by securing a season-high eight rebounds. Brooks has shown that he's more than capable of holding down the fort without the assistance of Devin Booker (ankle) or Jalen Green (hamstring).

Suns' Dillon Brooks: Compiles 26 points in victory
Rotowire
Brooks finished with 26 points (9-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 106-102 victory over Brooklyn.
Brooks was charged with a technical early in the game but managed to avoid ejection despite being involved in a fourth-quarter scuffle that resulted in technicals for five other players. Brooks has been a critical piece of the offense amid Devin Booker's (ankle) absence, scoring 26 points for a second consecutive game.

Suns' Dillon Brooks: Tallies 26 points in loss
Rotowire
Brooks finished with 26 points (11-23 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 36 minutes during Sunday's 111-102 loss to the Heat.
Brooks paced all scorers Sunday, though it wasn't enough to lift the Suns to a win. The veteran wing entered the contest averaging 20.2 points on 43.5 percent shooting from the field and 34.4 percent from deep and has now reached the 20-point mark 21 times this season. After going a combined 6-for-31 from the floor across his previous two games, Brooks rediscovered his rhythm and bounced back with a strong scoring effort. He should see plenty of shots while teammate Devin Booker misses a week or so with an ankle injury.

Suns' Dillon Brooks: Shooting woes continue in loss
Rotowire
Brooks racked up 11 points (4-18 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Friday's 110-103 loss to the Hawks.
Brooks' shooting struggles continued Friday, and he has now scored fewer than 12 points in three of his last four outings. The 30-year-old forward has shot just 26.7 percent from the field over his last five games, reaching the 20-point threshold only once during that stretch. Devin Booker (ankle) and Jalen Green (hamstring) both exited Friday's contest early, and if either is forced to miss time, Brooks could see increased usage.

Suns' Dillon Brooks: Pours in 27 points
Rotowire
Brooks notched 27 points (8-15 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds and two assists over 34 minutes during Monday's 126-117 victory over the Nets.
For the seventh time this season, Brooks reached 27 points for the Suns. His usage could take a hit going forward, however, as the Suns will be reintroducing Jalen Green to the rotation Tuesday against the 76ers.

Suns' Dillon Brooks: Struggles with shot in win
Rotowire
Brooks totaled five points (2-13 FG, 1-7 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and one block across 29 minutes during Saturday's 106-99 victory over the Knicks.
Brooks couldn't get anything going in this one with OG Anunoby draped all over him for most of the game. Brooks has been in a funk over the past two games, shooting 6-for-29 from the floor during that span, but he'll look to get things back on track with a favorable matchup against the Nets on Monday.

Suns' Dillon Brooks: Cleared to play Thursday
Rotowire
Brooks (illness) is available for Thursday's game against Detroit.
Brooks didn't attend morning shootaround while battling the illness, but the Suns evidently didn't think the ailment was anything that would threaten his availability for Thursday's game. With Devin Booker (ankle) getting the night off, Brooks could see an uptick in touches as long as he's feeling up for it.

Suns' Dillon Brooks: Struggles from downtown
Rotowire
Brooks supplied 25 points (11-24 FG, 1-10 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds and two steals over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 127-121 loss to Miami.
Brooks was effective inside the arc, but beyond that was a completely different story for the veteran wing Tuesday. It was the sixth time in his nine-year NBA career that he missed at least nine three-pointers in a game, just one shy from tying his career-worst 10 misses from deep that he set Oct. 25 against the Nuggets. That dropped Brooks to a 34.6 percent clip from beyond the arc for the season, but he is still averaging a career-high 21.3 points per game along with 3.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.2 steals over 30.8 minutes per game. He also received his 15th technical foul of the season Tuesday, and one more would result in an automatic one-game suspension.

Suns' Dillon Brooks: Pours in 21 points
Rotowire
Brooks racked up 21 points (8-22 FG, 5-12 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 117-98 win over Memphis.
Brooks is a hit-or-miss fantasy asset, but he's an invaluable member of the team's identity, and the Suns have made it clear he won't be moved ahead of the deadline. Over his last eight outings, Brooks is averaging 19.3 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.1 steals and 2.3 three-pointers on 43.6 percent shooting from the field.

Suns' Dillon Brooks: Posts 22 points in win
Rotowire
Brooks closed Sunday's 108-105 victory over Oklahoma City with 22 points (8-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 34 minutes.
Brooks did most of his damage in the fourth quarter, scoring a game-high 14 points in the final frame. The veteran did commit a season-high five turnovers, but was a major piece of the Suns' 18-point comeback win over the Thunder. The 29-year-old is putting up career-best numbers as a scorer in his first season in Phoenix, scoring 20 or more points in 16 games and reaching double-figures in all 29 games played.

Suns' Dillon Brooks: Logs 20 points vs. Cleveland
Rotowire
Brooks posted 20 points (7-15 FG, 2-4 3PT, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists and three steals over 34 minutes during the Suns' 129-113 loss to the Cavaliers on Wednesday.
Brooks did all of his scoring in the first half before going 0-for-3 from the field in the second, but it was enough for the veteran forward to finish as the Suns' second-leading scorer behind Devin Booker (32 points). Brooks also recorded multiple steals for the 11th time this season, and his three steals were his most since Nov. 18 against the Trail Blazers. He'll finish the month of December having averaged 21.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 2.3 threes and 0.8 steals over 30.6 minutes per game in 12 outings.

Suns' Dillon Brooks: Strikes for game-high 25 in win
Rotowire
Brooks registered 25 points (10-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT) in 24 minutes during Tuesday's 132-108 win over the Lakers.
While Brooks led all scorers on the night, he was curiously quiet in all other categories. The 29-year-old forward has drained multiple three-pointers in six straight games and nine of the last 10, averaging 22.5 points, 2.9 boards, 2.4 threes and 1.8 assists over that latter stretch.

Suns' Dillon Brooks: Scores 24 points with seven boards
Rotowire
Brooks racked up 24 points (10-23 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Thursday's 99-98 victory over Golden State.
Brooks was hot to start Thursday's game, as he dropped in 13 points on seven shots in his first six minutes of play, and he finished as Phoenix's second-leading scorer in the narrow win. As good as he was, Brooks nearly cost Phoenix the game by picking up a silly technical foul late that put Golden State in the position to tie it up, but ultimately, the Suns were able to eke out a win and hit the brakes on a two-game skid.

Suns' Dillon Brooks: Ejected in final minute

Brooks was ejected during the final seconds of Sunday's 115-114 loss to the Lakers. He finished with 18 points (6-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one steal in 25 minutes.
Brooks knocked down a go-ahead three-pointer during the closing seconds, only to get in LeBron James' face after the fact, which earned him his second technical of the night. Brooks played through a questionable tag Sunday and made a massive impact on the game, and he'll likely be upset with himself for losing his composure late.

Suns' Dillon Brooks: Questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
Brooks (Achilles) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lakers.
Brooks is dealing with left Achilles soreness and could miss his first game since Nov. 6. If the veteran forward is ruled out, Ryan Dunn, Jordan Goodwin and Nigel Hayes-Davis are candidates to see increased playing time.
