Yes you can

Installing ADB in windows without Download Android SDK

  1. Firstly, you'll need a program that can partially download contents of zip files from the internet.
  2. Once that's set up, go to the SDK download page and grab the link to the SDK.
  3. In the zip file, navigate to "android-sdk-windows\tools"
  4. From there, select only "adb.exe", "AdbWinApi.dll" and "AdbWinUsbApi.dll"
  5. Download.
