Tari Eason DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason (lower leg) will not be in the lineup on Thursday against the Golden State Warriors. Eason has managed a lower leg injury throughout the campaign, and the team will keep him out of action for the second leg of a back-to-back. On Wednesday, Eason had a big night against the Phoenix Suns, scoring a team-high 25 points while also recording nine rebounds, four assists, and three steals in 34 minutes. Eason started instead of Aaron Holiday, who may move back to the starting unit for Thursday's action. At the same time, Cam Whitmore and Jae'Sean Tate could see a few extra minutes with Eason unavailable.

Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason (lower leg) will be inactive against the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday. The 23-year-old will sit out the second leg of a back-to-back after posting 12 points, six rebounds, and three blocks across 34 minutes in a starting role on Monday against the New York Knicks. Jae'Sean Tate and Cam Whitmore should feature more in the rotation with Eason out. Tate also started on Monday but logged only 22 minutes, finishing with eight points, six assists, and one steal. Whitmore went for 18 points in 23 minutes off the bench and picked up five rebounds with a pair of steals and one block.

Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason (leg) will not play against the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday. He will miss the second game of a back-to-back as Eason manages a left lower leg injury. The 23-year-old has missed significant time this season because of the injury, so it makes sense that the Rockets want to avoid risking a re-aggravation. Jae'Sean Tate is expected to see increased playing time on Tuesday, particularly since Cam Whitmore (illness) is questionable for the game. However, Tate is not a reliable source of fantasy value.
