Dillon Brooks

It was a sign of things to come, as the Rockets rocked the Bulls 143-107 on Sunday

With Fred VanVleet sidelined, Thompson will slide into the starting lineup at point guard. Ime Udoka said that Amen will likely start when any of their starters miss a game, which boosts his value even more this season. Reed Sheppard should be the team's backup point guard with Thompson starting.

Brooks shot the ball well on Friday, making half of his shots overall and going 3-of-4 from beyond the arc. The Rockets wing has reached double figures in three straight and four of his last five, but he remains nothing more than a deep-league option. Brooks and the Rockets end Week 3 on Sunday in Detroit.

Both Eason and Dillon Brooks were questionable with an illness ahead of this game, but they'll both suit up. Eason will play his usual role off the bench, where he has provided fifth round value thus far, mostly because of his impact on defense.

Brooks (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the Spurs, head coach Ime Udoka told Kelly Iko of The Athletic.
