Tari Eason's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason (leg) has been upgraded to available ahead of Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Eason has missed over a month of action due to a lower leg injury. He will finally return on Thursday, but will unsurprisingly be on a minutes limit for this game. Before the injury, Eason was averaging 11.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 1.0 assists in 22 minutes per game. When healthy, Eason is a solid contributor, but he won't be an ideal option on Thursday. Head coach Ime Udoka said Eason will play around 20-25 minutes. He could be worth plugging in for season-long formats, but isn't a reliable DFS option for Thursday's slate.

Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason (leg) has officially been ruled out for Wednesday night's game against the Denver Nuggets, according to head coach Ime Udoka. Eason is dealing with a left lower -leg injury that has kept him out of Houston's last 12 games. The Rockets have been able to succeed without Eason so far, though the 23-year-old has provided decent production off of Houston's bench. In his absence, expect Cam Whitmore to get more minutes off the bench, while Amen Thompson gets extended minutes in the starting lineup.

Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason (lower leg) will remain absent on Monday against Memphis. He will sit out a 12th consecutive game for lower leg injury management purposes. Eason enjoyed a strong start to the season but has now missed a month of action. It's unclear when he will be available to return, as the team has kept him on the injury report with a doubtful tag for some time. Eason's absence opens up more playing opportunities for Cam Whitmore and Jae'Sean Tate, but the two lack consistency.

Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason (lower leg) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against Memphis. The 23-year-old hasn't played since Dec. 14 and is not expected to return to the lineup on Monday as Eason continues to manage a left lower leg injury. Cam Whitmore and Jae'Sean Tate have enjoyed expanded roles during Eason's absence. As a talented scorer, Whitmore has more fantasy appeal, but he tends to blow hot and cold.
