Top Tari Eason News

  • Rockets' Tari Eason: Won't play Thursday

    Eason won't play in Thursday's game against Golden State due to left lower leg injury management, Ben DuBose of USA Today reports.

    Since returning Jan. 16 from a 13-game absence due to the lower leg injury, Eason hasn't played in both ends of back-to-back sets, so his absence Thursday comes as little surprise. Eason started in Wednesday's 119-111 win over Phoenix and logged 25 points (11-16 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and three steals across 34 minutes.

    Eason is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Suns, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.

    The Rockets are opting to have Eason in their starting lineup as opposed to Aaron Holiday on Wednesday. The 2022 first-rounder has averaged 10.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.3 steals and 2.0 blocks in 30.7 minutes across three games as a starter this season, putting Eason in line for an increase in fantasy value against Phoenix.

  • Rockets' Tari Eason: Off injury report for Wednesday

    Eason is set to return to game action after sitting out Sunday's win over the Raptors due to lower left leg injury management.

  • Rockets' Tari Eason: Resting Sunday

    Eason has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raptors due to left lower-leg injury management.

    After drawing two straight starts, including during Saturday's loss in Dallas, Eason will take a seat for the second night of a back-to-back set. With Eason, Steven Adams (ankle) and Cody Zeller (not with team) all unavailable, Jock Landale will be the primary backup center behind Alperen Sengun. Eason should return to action Wednesday against the Suns.

  • Rockets' Tari Eason: Resting Tuesday

    Eason has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Nets due to left lower leg injury management.

    With Alperen Sengun (calf) sidelined, Eason made his first start of the season Monday and posted 12 points (5-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, three blocks, one assist and one steal over 34 minutes in a 124-118 loss to New York. However, he'll take a seat for the second night of a back-to-back, which has been standard procedure since he returned to action in mid-January following a month-long injury absence. Eason should be back in action Thursday in Minnesota.

  • Rockets' Tari Eason: Shines on both ends in start

    Eason posted 12 points (5-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, three blocks, one assist and one steal over 34 minutes in Monday's 124-118 loss to New York.

    Eason got his first starting nod of the year Monday, replacing Steven Adams in the starting five with Alperen Sengun (calf) sidelined. Eason showcased strong two-way play, notching a team-high trio of blocks while finishing as one of six Rockets in double figures in scoring. Eason matched a season-high mark in blocks while posting his 20th outing with 10 or more points.

  • Rockets' Tari Eason: Off injury report for Thursday

    Eason (leg) is off the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Grizzlies.

    The Rockets gave Eason the night off Tuesday against the Hawks for injury management, but the forward is all set to be available Thursday. Following an extended absence, Eason has averaged 10.7 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.3 steals and 1.2 threes in 23.5 minutes over his last six contests from Houston's bench.

  • Rockets' Tari Eason: Struggles with shot

    Eason recorded six points (2-10 FG, 2-7 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Monday's 114-112 victory over Boston.

    Eason had a couple of strong showings when he returned from his injury Jan. 16, but he's gone cold since. Over his past four games, Eason has shot 33.3 percent from the field with averages of 7.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 2.5 steals and 1.5 three-pointers. The workloads have been less than ideal, as well, as he saw 23.2 minutes per game in that stretch.

  • Rockets' Tari Eason: Getting maintenance Tuesday

    Eason has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Hawks due to left lower leg injury management.

    Eason will get a breather for the second leg of a back-to-back set after logging six points (2-10 FG, 2-7 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Monday's 114-112 victory over Boston. Fantasy managers can expect him back in action Thursday against Memphis. The Rockets list Cam Whitmore (illness) as questionable, and if he ends up joining Eason in street clothes, head coach Ime Udoka could open up more minutes for reserves such as Aaron Holiday and Jae'Sean Tate.

  • Rockets' Tari Eason: Puts up 16 points in return

    Eason (lower leg) tallied 16 points (6-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-5 FT), four rebounds and one steal across 24 minutes Thursday in the Rockets' 132-127 loss to the Kings.

    Eason had missed the Rockets' previous 13 games due to left lower leg injury management. Still, he wasn't eased back into the mix, as the 24 minutes he received exceeded his season-long average (22.8 per game). The third-year forward offered a nice scoring punch off the bench but didn't deliver his usual output in the defensive categories, where he's provided most of his value this season. In any case, now that Eason is healthy again and immediately playing normal minutes, he's worthy of at least a cursory pickup in 12-team category leagues. The long-term absence of Jabari Smith (hand) could provide Eason with a window to take on even more minutes in the frontcourt in future contests.

  • Rockets' Tari Eason: Available to play

    Eason (leg) is available to play Thursday against the Kings, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.

    Eason will be returning from a 13-game absence Thursday, and he's expected to be limited to 20-to-25 minutes, according to coach Ime Udoka, as the Rockets ease him back into the mix. Prior to his injury, Eason averaged 11.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.0 blocks and 1.9 steals across 24 appearances.

  • Rockets' Tari Eason: Upgraded to questionable

    Eason (leg) has been upgraded to questionable for Thursday's game against the Kings.

    Eason has missed the past 13 games for Houston, but his questionable designation is an encouraging sign for his fantasy managers, as it means he's officially day-to-day. If he does get the green light to return Thursday, he's likely to face restrictions in his first game or two back.

    Eason is expected to miss his 13th consecutive contest Wednesday due to a lower left leg injury. There's no clear timetable for the 23-year-old's return, though Cam Whitmore and Jae'Sean Tate should continue seeing increased playing time if Eason is sidelined once again.
