Rockets' Tari Eason: Strong showing in Wednesday's start
Tari Eason accumulated 15 points (7-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals over 24 minutes during Wednesday's 143-105 win over the Jazz.Bouncing back into the starting five, Eason stuffed the stat sheet and produced multiple blocks and steals in the same game for the first time since Feb. 6.

Whether deployed on the first or second unit, Eason has scored in double digits in 12 of 15 appearances (nine start) since the beginning of March, averaging 14.3 points, 7.1 boards, 1.9 assists, 1.4 threes, 1.3 steals and 0.7 blocks in that time while shooting 52.4 percent from the floor.

Tari 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 Houston 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.
