Brooks has stepped up for the Houston Rockets after struggling to start the season.
Houston Rockets forward Dillon Brooks has been a major positive for the team as of late. The second-year Rocket had a solid 2023-24 but started this season struggling on offense.. It was looking like Brooks could get benched for Amen Thompson or Tari Eason until the 28-year-old started to find a rhythm.Houston could have decreased Brooks' role to shoot less and focus more on being a spark plug off the bench, but he picked up and has gained more trust from head coach Ime Udoka.
The former Memphis Grizzly has held his identity of being a good 3&D wing compared to the rest of the league.The Rockets currently sit at the third seed in the Western Conference with a 13-6 record. After last night's 117-111 road win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, Houston will travel to Philadelphia to take on the 3-13 76ers on a back-to-back. That game will start at 6:00 p.m. CT.Jed is a student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison majoring in journalism.
