Brooks scored 16 points (6-11 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT) to go along with two rebounds and five assists in 23 minutes Saturday against Minnesota.

The Bulls needed Brooks to step up Saturday with Derrick Rose (ankles) out of action and he came through in a big way. Brooks has been an offensive sparkplug off the bench for the Bulls so far this season and given Rose's injury history, he could see more playing time than expected.

Brooks scored 11 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT) with two assists in 20 minutes in the overtime loss to Cleveland on Friday.

Brooks looks like the latest of scoring guards off the bench for coach Tom Thibodeau following Nate Robinson and D.J. Augustin. If Derrick Rose's ankle injury proves to keep him off the court, Brooks could get a nice, short-term bump in fantasy value.

Brooks scored nine points (4-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt) to go along with two rebounds, four assists and one block in 24 minutes Monday against the Cavaliers.

Brooks doesn't hesitate to shoot and provides the Bulls with a nice sparkplug off the bench. He may have the occasional offensive outburst, but is unlikely to have a significant fantasy impact this season unless the Bulls backcourt were to suffer a significant injury.

Bulls sign G Aaron Brooks.

The deal had been reported last week and became official for the third-string point guard. "You never know what's going to happen," Brooks said. "I enjoyed some success this past year when I got the opportunity to play. I think they just want me to come in, work hard, and help push everyone." He won't be worth drafting in almost any league.

The Bulls are finalizing a contract with Aaron Brooks.

He'll move into a role similar to D.J. Augustin's, who thrived in the Bulls' system last year and is now in Detroit. Brooks has some nice range from the outside, but would not likely see major minutes while the Bulls are healthy.

The Bulls are reportedly considering bringing on unrestricted free agent Aaron Brooks.

Brooks would bring some instant-offense to the Bulls second unit, but with a healthy Derrick Rose, Brooks fantasy appeal would be severely limited. Brooks averaged 11.9 points, 5.2 assists, and 1.4 three-pointers a game with the Nuggets last season.

Aaron Brooks had 19 points, four rebounds, five assists, two steals and three 3-pointers in Tuesday's loss.

He's been great filling in for Ty Lawson and all indications are that he'll get serious minutes again in Wednesday's finale.

Aaron Brooks hit just 3-of-13 shots for eight points, three rebounds, five assists, a steal and zero 3-pointers in Saturday's win over the Jazz.

Brooks has really cooled off recently, scoring no more than 13 points in four of his last five games. And the fact the Nuggets keep suggesting that Ty Lawson could return to finish out the season doesn't work in his favor. But any time that Lawson is out, Brooks is still a solid fantasy option.

Aaron Brooks struggled with his shot against the Warriors on Thursday during a 100-99 win, shooting 3-of-14 from the field for eight points with two boards, seven assists, one steal and two turnovers.

His 3-point shot is not dropping right now, making just 4-of-20 (20.0 percent) in his last four games. Brooks has still played major minutes and has at last seven dimes in each of his last three games. Ty Lawson (ankle) is likely out for the year and Brooks should handle the point-guard duties the rest of the way.

Aaron Brooks did not shoot the ball well vs. the Rockets on Wednesday during a 123-116 win, making 5-of-15 from the field for 13 points with five boards, seven assists, two steals, one block and one 3-pointer in 37 minutes.

Even with the ugly shooting game, Brooks was still able to turn in a solid line thanks to the dimes, steals, block and trey. He is likely going to be the starter at point guard the rest of the way and he should have terrific value with the Nuggets playing in an up-tempo, small-ball offense these days.

Aaron Brooks scored 24 points vs. the Pelicans on Wednesday with three boards, one assist, two steals, two blocks and six 3-pointers in 30 minutes.

Coach Brian Shaw is in love with his small-ball lineup tonight and it worked to perfection in an up-tempo style. Brooks has played at least 28 minutes in each of the last five games, averaging 14.4 points, 4.2 assists, 0.8 steals and 2.6 triples in that span. It goes without saying, those are must-own numbers in standard-style formats. He's playing a lot like D.J. Augustin right now and is available in a lot of leagues.

Aaron Brooks scored 10 points on 4-of-8 shooting with two threes, six assists and a steal in 29 minutes off the bench on Monday.

Brooks is rolling along as a low-end play in 12-team leagues and that's probably a good projection for the rest of the season.

Aaron Brooks played 30 minutes against the Spurs on Friday with eight points, three assists, one steal and one 3-pointer.

The Nuggets have really let loose some small lineups and coach Brian Shaw has run a lot of units with Brooks and Lawson together. Brooks has been above 28 minutes in three consecutive games and he could be above that total the rest of the way. He's worth a look in standard leagues.

Aaron Brooks logged 31 minutes against the Spurs on Wednesday with 25 points, five boards, eight assists and four 3-pointers.

He didn't turn the ball over and shot 9-of-18 from the field while knocking down all three free throws. The Nuggets have clearly shifted to a small-ball plan and Brooks has logged a whopping 30.4 minutes per game in his last five. He takes treys and the dimes are there, so he's worth a look for owners looking for a little help in those areas.

Aaron Brooks backed up his big game from Wednesday with just six points and two assists in 21 minutes on Friday.

No surprise, here. He'll only be worth a look if the cavalry ahead of him starts to drop like flies.

Aaron Brooks was a last-minute replacement for Ty Lawson (illness) and blew up for a season-high 27 points, six rebounds, a career-high 17 assists and a 3-pointer on 10-of-19 shooting in 47 minutes.

The news that Lawson was out came way to late to get Brooks into lineups, so one of the best games of his career was wasted in most fantasy leagues. Lawson should be back sooner than later, meaning Brooks should return to bench before he would help your team. He's been doing well in the assists department off the bench (5 or 7 in each of his previous four games), but has struggled to score off the bench with nine or fewer points over that stretch. His previous high in assists was 13 in 2009.

Aaron Brooks will start against the Pistons on Wednesday.

Ty Lawson (illness) is a late scratch for this game and the Nuggets will look to get something out of Brooks tonight. He's been used quite a bit off the bench and should have plenty of chances to score with the first string. He's a decent spot-start tonight.

Aaron Brooks scored 16 points off the bench on Monday, hitting 5-of-11 shots (including a three) with four rebounds and five perfect shots from the foul line in 24 minutes.

The only thing going for Brooks is his scoring and 3-point makes, but even those aren't enough to bring his value into the standard league discussion. He committed a critical foul late that was the nail in the coffin for the Nuggets tonight.

Aaron Brooks scored 15 points in 22 minutes during Sunday's loss to New Orleans, making two 3-pointers with four assists, one steal and zero turnovers.

Almost half of Brooks' shots are coming from beyond the arc this season, which helps to account for his lousy 39.6 percent shooting. He had been held to single-digit scoring in each of Denver's previous four games and he belongs on the waiver wire outside of the deepest leagues.

Aaron Brooks came off the bench for four points, four assists and four steals on 2-of-6 shooting in 17 minutes on Wednesday.

Ty Lawson had his heel looked at during tonight's game, but looked great. And as long as Lawson is healthy, Brooks' run is over.
