Michigan Wolverines DFS Snapshot
Eli Brooks posted 12 points (4-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and one steal over 37 minutes during Wednesday’s 72-70 victory over Northwestern. Brooks matched his lowest scoring total of the season in Saturday’s win over Indiana, as he was limited to just two points against the Hoosiers. However, he had slightly more looks from the floor Wednesday and scored in double figures for the first time since Jan. 4. He’s now averaging 11.5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 34.3 minutes per game this year.

The senior has been a consistent scorer for Michigan State this year and is averaging 13.4 points and 4.6 rebounds in 29.8 minutes per game.
