Dillon Brooks

Despite playing a significant role during his first season in Houston, Brooks was unable to turn that playing time into viable fantasy value. He finished with averages of 12.7 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.8 three-pointers, logging 30.9 minutes per game. Although his efficiency improved compared to the previous season in Memphis, his overall numbers took a hit, not surprising given how he was utilized. Known as an elite wing defender, Brooks is likely to hold onto his spot in the starting lineup for the 2024-25 season. However, his tenacity on the defensive end does not typically translate to value, as demonstrated by his 0.9 steals per game. The Rockets have a roster loaded with youth, a fact that could eventually mean a reduced role for Brooks. For now, he should be viewed as a potential streaming option with the hope you catch him when his shot is falling.
