Brewer recorded 12 points (5-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three assists, two rebounds, and three steals over 22 minutes.

Although the Rockets have endured a few injuries to their frontcourt to begin the season, it hasn’t indirectly benefited Brewer, who is averaging 25 minutes through the team’s first four games, just as he did with Houston last season. The 29-year-old will remain a key member of coach Kevin McHale’s bench unit, and his ability to contribute in multiple categories — most notably steals — still makes him a decent roster option in deeper formats.
