Dillon Brooks DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Houston Rockets guard/forward Dillon Brooks (knee) will not be in the lineup on Monday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He has been downgraded from questionable to out as Brooks has not recovered from a right knee contusion. He joins Fred VanVleet (ankle), Amen Thompson (shoulder), and Alperen Sengun (back) on the sidelines, leaving the Rockets extremely short-handed for Monday's contest. Jabari Smith Jr., Cam Whitmore, and Aaron Holiday are expected to take on expanded roles in the game. This is the first game of a back-to-back set, so it's possible that Houston could have most of its missing pieces back for Tuesday's matchup against the Indiana Pacers.

Houston Rockets forward Dillon Brooks (knee) has been listed as questionable for the Monday night matchup with the Oklahoma City Thunder due to a knee contusion. Brooks was able to clock 30 minutes on the court in their last game on Saturday, but he's now one of three starters considered questionable while Fred VanVleet (ankle) has been ruled out. If Brooks is unable to suit up, Jabari Smith Jr. may move into the starting five while Cam Whitmore could see some minutes after getting a DNP-CD in their last game. Smith registered five points, seven rebounds, and one block on Saturday against the Sacramento Kings.

Houston Rockets guard/forward Dillon Brooks (illness) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. Brooks has been ever-present for Houston in 2025 but might have to exit the lineup on Tuesday due to an illness. Fred VanVleet (ankle), who is close to returning to the starting lineup, may fill his spot in the starting lineup. Cam Whitmore and Tari Eason (leg) are also potential options to move into the first unit, with the latter having been removed from the injury report.

According to Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle, Houston Rockets forwardDillon Brooks(personal) didn't practice on Tuesday. Per Rockets coach Ime Udoka, everyone practiced today except Brooks, who had a personal matter. Hopefully, the 28-year-old doesn't miss any games, as he posted 22 points, four rebounds, and one block in 40 minutes during Sunday's 104-100 loss to the Heat after sitting out three consecutive contests due to a right ankle effusion.

Houston Rockets forward Dillon Brooks (ankle) won't play in Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, marking his third-consecutive absence. The 28-year-old has had a decent season, averaging 13.6 points. However, his abilities on the defensive end are what Houston have missed the most. With Tari Eason (leg) questionable, the team could look to Cam Whitmore to take on some minutes from off the bench. Whitemore is coming off a potent outing, scoring 27 points and shooting 4-for-8 from behind the arc in Thursday's win over the New Orleans Pelicans.
