  • Rockets' Tari Eason: Notches 18 points in win

    Eason ended with 18 points (7-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 27 minutes during Sunday's 101-99 victory over Detroit.

    Eason continues to thrive off the bench along with Amen Thompson, and his value is trending in the right direction. Over his last five outings, Eason is averaging 15.2 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.4 blocks, 1.8 steals and 1.6 three-pointers on 55.4 percent shooting from the field and 44.4 percent from beyond the arc.

  • Rockets' Tari Eason: Will play Wednesday

    Eason (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the Spurs.

    Eason was deemed questionable for the contest due to illness, but he'll give it a go Wednesday. Eason is averaging 13.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.8 combined steals-plus-blocks across his last four outings.

  • Rockets' Tari Eason: Cools off following major outing

    Eason is questionable to play Wednesday against the Spurs due to an illness after posting seven points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, an assist and a block over 25 minutes in Monday's 109-97 victory over the Knicks.

    After two back-to-back games with at least 15 points and at least 10 field-goal attempts (the most recent being a 27-point explosion), Eason was not able to maintain his production Monday as he put up a more modest stat line. Despite this, his 25 minutes were his second most in a game this season, which is an encouraging sign moving forward. Through seven games, Eason is averaging 10.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.0 blocks in 21.1 minutes. If he is unable to suit up against San Antonio, Cam Whitmore, Jeff Green and Amen Thompson are candidates to receive increased playing time.

  • Rockets' Tari Eason: Erupts for 27 points

    Eason finished Saturday's 127-121 overtime loss to the Warriors with 27 points (11-19 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, four steals, three blocks and one assist across 35 minutes.

    Eason paced the Rockets offensively, and his 27-point showing was his best mark of the young season. He also fell just one rebound shy of a double-double and swatted away three shots, showing fantasy managers that he can produce across the board when given extended run. Though Eason received some extra run after he was a key figure in helping the Rockets overcome a 31-point deficit to send the game to overtime, it's unclear if the big outing with earn him more minutes moving forward. Eason had been averaging 17.6 minutes per game over his five appearances prior to Saturday. The huge performance came after the Rockets exercised Eason's $5.68 million fourth-year team option for 2025-26 on Wednesday, per Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle.

  • Rockets' Tari Eason: Available to play Saturday

    Eason (lower leg) is available for Saturday's game against the Spurs, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Eason was tabbed as a game-time call for this matchup, but he's received the green light and will be available off the bench. The third-year forward has played 13 and 16 minutes off the bench in his first two appearances this season.

  • Rockets' Tari Eason: Iffy for Saturday

    Eason is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Spurs due to left lower leg injury management.

    Eason underwent surgery in March to treat a benign growth on his left lower leg. While the 23-year-old forward has played in both of Houston's games so far this season, the team could opt to play it cautiously on the second night of a back-to-back.

  • Rockets' Tari Eason: Underwhelming performance

    Eason ended Wednesday's 110-105 loss to the Hornets with two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and two steals across 13 minutes.

    Eason was quiet in the loss, a worrying sign for anyone who took a chance on him in drafts. On a roster laden with upside, Eason simply doesn't have a clear path to minutes. Despite a fantasy-friendly game, he is not someone who needs to be rostered in all spots.

  • Rockets' Tari Eason: Back to action Thursday

    Eason (rest) will play in Thursday's preseason finale against San Antonio, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Eason will join a fully healthy roster Thursday, except for Jock Landale (rest). Even with the entirety of Houston's cast of forwards set to suit up, Eason is among the more likely candidates for extended run.

  • Rockets' Tari Eason: Returning to action Wednesday

    Eason (rest/leg) is set to play in Houston's preseason contest versus the Thunder on Wednesday.

    Eason, who rested during Monday's preseason opener, will participate in his first game action since Jan. 1 after undergoing surgery in March to treat a benign growth in his lower leg. The 23-year-old averaged 11.3 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.8 steals in 23.9 minutes per game across his last 15 regular-season contests.

  • Rockets' Tari Eason: Out for Monday

    Eason (rest) has been ruled out for Monday's preseason opener against the Jazz, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Eason underwent surgery in March to treat a benign growth in his lower left leg, though he has been an active participant during training camp thus far. The 23-year-old is likely only out for an extra day of rest, and he is expected to be available for Opening Night. With Eason out, the club will get an extended look at Cam Whitmore, Jae'Sean Tate and Nate Williams.

  • Rockets' Tari Eason: Works out ahead of training camp

    Eason (lower back) worked out with several Rockets teammates before Houston's Media Day on Tuesday, Michael Shapiro of SI.com reports.

    Eason underwent surgery in March to treat a benign growth in his lower leg, but as expected, he's back to full strength ahead of training camp. The 2022 No. 17 overall pick averaged 9.8 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.9 blocks in 21.8 minutes per game last season. However, the Rockets also have Alperen Sengun, Jabari Smith, Amen Thompson and Cam Whitmore as ascending frontcourt options, limiting Eason's fantasy ceiling in Year 3.

  • Rockets' Tari Eason: On track for training camp

    Rockets general manager Rafael Stone said Tuesday that Eason (lower leg) is on track to be available for training camp, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston.

    Eason underwent surgery in March to treat a benign growth in his lower leg but is expected to make a full recovery by the time training camp rolls around in the fall. In 22 appearances last season, Eason averaged 9.8 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.4 steals in 21.8 minutes. The 22-year-old is a versatile prospect on both ends of the floor, but with other young options in the frontcourt such as Jabari Smith, Amen Thompson and Cam Whitmore, Eason may struggle to win playing time.
