Dillon Brooks posts 19 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in Suns loss

Brooks delivered modest totals on Monday, yet his efficiency remains a concern for fantasy managers as Phoenix's schedule winds down this week.

Dillon Brooks scored 19 points with 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, 1 block and 3 threes across 33 minutes as a starter on Monday, October 26, when the Suns fell 114-125 to the Thunder. He missed 10 of his 14 field-goal attempts but did not turn the ball over.

The line sits below his baseline from last season (20.2 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 30.4 minutes over 56 games), and his 50.5% true shooting through three games remains a drag on nine-category value. In points leagues he projects to 27.5 fantasy points a game in default scoring, which makes him a middling hold rather than a streaming target.

Dillon Brooks

Brooks has now started all three games for Phoenix, logging 31.0 minutes a night with a 20.8% usage rate. His counting stats on Monday were serviceable: the five assists matched his season high, the steals and threes offered some category help, and the zero turnovers cleaned up a weak spot. He shot 4-of-14 from the floor, and his true shooting sits at 50.5% through three games.

The Suns have one game remaining this week, on Monday. Brooks ranks 145th overall with a Roundup Score of 58 out of 99, reflecting negative nine-category value (minus-2.63) despite the secure minutes. He is a hold in deeper formats where his volume and defensive contributions matter, but managers in shallower leagues should remain cautious about his shooting splits dragging down field-goal percentage.

What to do

• Hold Brooks in deeper formats where his minutes, defensive stats and volume compensate for poor efficiency.

• Start him on Monday when Phoenix plays its final game of the week.

• Monitor his true shooting over the next handful of outings to see whether the early shooting woes persist or regress towards his 2023-24 baseline.
