• Rockets' Tari Eason: Won't play Sunday

  1D ago • By RotoWire

  Eason (rest) will not play Sunday against the Suns. Sunday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, so Eason's fantasy managers can expect him back Monday against the Lakers. With Eason sidelined, Jae'Sean Tate could potentially step into a larger role for Houston.

• Rockets' Tari Eason: Coming off bench Thursday

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Eason is not in the Rockets' starting lineup against the Jazz on Thursday, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports. Eason was added to the Rockets' starting lineup in Tuesday's win over the Hawks due to the late scratch of Amen Thompson (ankle), and the former finished with 10 points (3-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 14 rebounds and one steal over 25 minutes. With Thompson back in action Thursday, Eason will retreat to his regular reserve role.

  Eason is in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Hawks, Kelly Iko of The Athletic reports. Amen Thompson (ankle) was a late scratch against Atlanta, so Eason will replace him in the starting lineup. Eason has averaged 16.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.1 blocks in 30.9 minutes across his previous 10 starting appearances.

• Rockets' Tari Eason: Sees just 15 minutes

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  Eason finished Sunday's 116-111 loss to the Nuggets with four points (2-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 15 minutes. Eason's workload was disappointing from a fantasy perspective. The Rockets used an eight-man rotation Sunday, with Jabari Smith logging 17 minutes and Steven Adams getting 23 minutes off the bench. This will likely end up being an outlier in what's been a strong season for Eason -- on a per-game basis, Eason has produced fifth-round value in nine-category formats.
