Propels Suns to win
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.
Analysis
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).

Compiles 26 points in victory
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.
Analysis
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.

Tallies 26 points in loss
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.
Analysis
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.

Shooting woes continue in loss
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.
Analysis
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.
