Brooks scored 16 points (6-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt) with five rebounds, five assists, a steal and a block in 33 minutes during Wednesday's win over the Raptors.
Brooks continues to post solid numbers, and he should remain a fantasy asset for the rest of the season, unless Derrick Rose is able to make a return from his latest knee injury.
Mon Mar 23 201523:54Brooks scored 13 points (6-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT) with 10 assis...
Brooks scored 13 points (6-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT) with 10 assists in 33 minutes during Monday's win over the Hornets.
Jimmy Butler's return from a knee injury seemed to help Brooks settle into the point guard role on Monday, but don't expect this kind of production from him every night. He's averaging 17.7 points, 4.6 assists and 1.3 threes over his last nine games.

Brooks caught fire again Friday against the Hornets, posting 24 points (9-17 FG, 3-5 FT, 3-7 3Pt), two rebounds, and four assists in 34 minutes of action.
Brooks has been on fire of late, averaging 23.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 2.0 three-pointers made over the last four games. He's an obvious asset in fantasy as long as Derrick Rose (knee) is out. Given his situation, Brooks may keep this up until the end of the season.

Brooks scored a game-high 31 points (12-20 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-6 FT) with five assists and four rebounds in 37 minutes during Wednesday's OT win over the 76ers.
He's starting to find his groove, averaging 22.7 points, 4.0 assists, 3.3 boards and 1.7 threes over his last three games. Brooks should remain a solid play down the stretch, even with Derrick Rose (knee) optimistic that he'll be able to return to action this season.

Brooks put up six points (2-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt) to go with three rebounds and seven assists in 24 minutes against the Thunder on Thursday.
Brooks and Kirk Hinrich (23 minutes) essentially shared the point guard minutes Thursday. However, it was E'Twaun Moore that stole the show, eating into their playing time. With both Jimmy Butler (elbow) and Derrick Rose (knee) out for the immediate future, the Bulls backcourt is seriously depleted, but Brooks' status as a starter and playing time should be closely monitored in case Moore or Hinrich continue to steal his minutes.

Brooks scored 22 points (8-23 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT) to go along with two rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 35 minutes Tuesday against the Wizards.
Brooks has played at least 31 minutes in each of the last three games, but has shot 34.8 percent from the field or less in each of those games. He is going to get plenty of playing time with all of the Bulls injuries and should contribute in points and three-pointers, but it appears he's not going to provide much when it comes to field goal percentage.

Brooks scored 14 points (5-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt) to go along with three assists and one rebound in 31 minutes.
Brooks has now played 30 minutes per game in the three games since the Derrick Rose injury. Adding Jimmy Butler to the injury list Sunday, Aaron Brooks will command starting minutes for 3-4 weeks. Taking 12, 15 and 17 shots in his last three games respectively, fantasy owners should fire up those engines as Brooks will be taking a healthy number of shots per game in Rose and Butler's absence.

Brooks registered six points (2-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists, and one steal in 31 minutes during Friday's game against the Timberwolves.
Brooks should see considerable time on the court moving forward in the absence of Derrick Rose (knee). The replacement had a rough night shooting the ball Friday but the fact that he was allowed to take 15 shots likely means that he has some productive games in his future based on the amount of opportunities he's in line to see.
Fri Feb 27 201512:54Brooks will start at point guard Friday versus Minnesota
Brooks will start at point guard Friday versus Minnesota, Nick Friedell of ESPN Chicago reports.
Brooks will notch his second straight start in the absence of Derrick Rose (knee), who has been ruled out for 4-to-6 weeks after undergoing meniscus surgery. Kirk Hinrich is Chicago's only other point guard, and it appears Tom Thibodeau will continue to bring the veteran off the bench, though that's certainly subject to change on a game-to-game basis. Brooks certainly is not the most efficient point guard (31% FG in February), but he's proven capable of scoring in bunches, making him a high-risk, high-reward option in daily formats.

Brooks scored 12 points (4-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-8 FT) with four assists, two steals and a block in 28 minutes during Wednesday's loss to the Hornets.
He's normally much more reliable at the charity stripe (85.0% free throw shooter in his career), but Brooks struggled with his shot in his first start since Derrick Rose's latest knee injury. Don't expect him to supply anything beyond points and threes despite his increased workload, however.
Wed Feb 25 201518:27Aaron Brooks: To Start At PG
Brooks will get the start at point guard Wednesday, the Chicago Tribune's K.C. Johnson reports.
With Derrick Rose (knee) out for the season, Brooks becomes a must-add in most formats, given Kirk Hinrich's complete lack of upside. It is unlikely that Brooks will do much in terms of assists, but he could average 15-16 points per game if he is seeing starter's minutes.
Fri Jan 30 201503:11Brooks had 15 points (6-15 FG, 3-5 3Pt) to go with two assists a...
Brooks had 15 points (6-15 FG, 3-5 3Pt) to go with two assists and a rebound over 22 minutes Thursday against the Lakers.
Brooks got a bump in minutes thanks to the game going to two overtime periods, but it's worth noting that he has scored in double figures in four of his last five games. Brooks is averaging two 3-pointers per game over that span, making him a decent bargain bin option in daily formats.
Sun Jan 18 201512:50Brooks scored 13 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) to go along wi...
Brooks scored 13 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) to go along with three rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 21 minutes Saturday against the Hawks.
Brooks is averaging 12.0 points and 2.0 three-pointers over his last four games as the Bulls continue to rely on him for offense with both Mike Dunleavy (ankle) and Doug McDermott (knee) out of action. He may see a slight decrease in minutes when they both return, but not much as the Bulls like his scoring punch off of the bench. His fantasy value remains limited because he doesn't contribute much outside of points and three-pointers.
Sat Jan 3 201523:34Brooks scored 19 points (6-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT) in 20 minutes...
Brooks scored 19 points (6-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT) in 20 minutes off the Bulls' bench in the overtime win against Boston on Saturday.
The Bulls were looking for an offensive spark with Jimmy Butler (personal) out and Derrick Rose slumping: Brooks provided it. He has scored 31 points in his last two games and could be used for 3-pointers in a pinch in deeper fantasy leagues.
Fri Dec 19 201423:11Brooks scored 17 points (6-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT) Friday in win...
Brooks scored 17 points (6-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT) Friday in a win over the Grizzlies while Derrick Rose sat out his second straight game with an illness.
Brooks scored 18 on Thursday as well with Rose out. This time, Brooks played a season-high 32 minutes while starter Kirk Hinrich struggled to get anything going. When Rose sits, Brooks could be worth a start, especially in daily leagues.
Thu Dec 18 201422:51Brooks scored 18 points (5-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT) and added two ...
Brooks scored 18 points (5-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT) and added two rebounds, five assists and one steal in 25 minutes of action against the New York Knicks on Wednesday.
Whenever Derrick Rose (illness) sits a game, this will be a sneaky play, especially in daily fantasy leagues. Brooks can shoot the ball when given an opportunity. He has shown that throughout his career.
Fri Nov 21 201416:22Brooks could get start at point guard Friday, with both Kirk Hin...
Brooks could get the start at point guard Friday, with both Kirk Hinrich (chest) and Derrick Rose (hamstring) inactive.
Brooks has been averaging 20 minutes through the first 12 games of the season, but he'll most likely get the start Friday and get a hefty bump in playing time. With Brooks running the show, he should also be able to improve his scoring and assist numbers, as he's currently averaging 10.5 points and 3.4 assists. We'll have to wait and see who coach Tom Thibodeau decides to officially insert into the starting lineup, but it seems like Brooks has the best shot at this point.
Sat Nov 8 201423:23Brooks (ankle) came off bench to score 26 points (9-15 FG, 4-7 3...
Brooks (ankle) came off the bench to score 26 points (9-15 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT) with eight assists in the loss to the Celtics on Saturday. He fouled out after 28 minutes.
Brooks tweaked his ankle on Friday, but was able to play through the game and outplayed starter Kirk Hinrich (28 scoreless minutes). He should continue to be a productive player off the Bulls' bench.
Fri Nov 7 201422:20Brooks tweaked right ankle in Friday's game
Brooks tweaked his right ankle in Friday's game, but said he is hopeful he will be able to play Saturday, the Chicago Tribune's K.C. Johnson reports.
He got it re-taped Friday, and it sounds like he may not have to miss any time because of the minor ankle injury. Consider him day-to-day. Brooks had 10 points and four assists in 17 minutes off the bench Friday.
Tue Nov 4 201423:09Brooks scored 13 points (5-11 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), and had eigh...
Brooks scored 13 points (5-11 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), and had eight assists, three blocks and two rebounds in 30 minutes during Tuesday's win over the Magic.
You read that correctly, the six-foot tall Brooks blocked three shots, showing us exactly how athletic he really is. Brooks came off the bench Tuesday, but played the same number of minutes as Kirk Hinrich did, and outperformed him as well. Once Derrick Rose (ankle returns) he'll lose quite a bit of fantasy value, but he'll be a player to watch moving forward.
