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

Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason (leg) is still listed as out for Friday's matchup versus the Toronto Raptors. As Houston continues to manage the left lower leg of Eason, the 2022 first-rounder has reportedly begun playing 1-on-1 and 2-on-2 in practice. Head coach Ime Udoka also said on Thursday, per Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston, that Eason could return to game action next week following over a month of missed action, so that likely means the forward is on the wrong side of questionable for Sunday's contest against the Minnesota Timberwolves. First-round rookie Cam Whitmore is coming into his own a bit over his last 10 games, averaging 15.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 2.3 triples on 39.7% shooting from beyond the arc since Jan. 13 and is worth streaming in deeper fantasy leagues for the time being.

Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason (leg) is listed as out for Friday's game versus the Charlotte Hornets. Head coach Ime Udoka said on Wednesday that Eason will begin contact drills next week, so his absence on Friday isn't surprising, as the Rockets continue to manage the 2022 first-rounder's left lower leg. With that said, don't expect Eason back in Houston's lineup on Saturday against the Brooklyn Nets. Cam Whitmore has averaged 11.2 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.6 triples, and 0.9 steals through his past dozen games.

Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason (leg) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Eason was a limited participant during Tuesday's practice, so it's not shocking to see the Rockets hold him out for another game. Cam Whitmore figures to have an increased role while Eason sits out. Whitmore struggled during their last game, but he could be worth a look as a low-end streaming option on Wednesday.

Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason (leg) will miss a 10th consecutive game on Saturday against Utah. He was ruled out for one-to-two weeks on Jan. 10 but still isn't game-ready. The team is trying to manage a left lower leg injury with him, and Rockets head coach Ime Udoka said on Friday that he wants Eason to be pain-free when he returns. Eason is one of the top defensive players on the Rockets roster and has averaged close to 22 minutes a night. With him out of the picture, Cam Whitmore has entered the rotation. He's averaging 10.9 points and 3.8 rebounds for the month but has been fairly inconsistent with his performances.

Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason (leg) is set to miss his fourth straight game on Wednesday. Head coach Ime Udoka mentioned that the team is giving Eason time to rest and recover, so he could miss the next week or two. That means, Eason could be looking at another four missed games over the next week. The Rockets are banged up at the forward spot right now. That means, Jae'Sean Tate should continue to see big minutes, but he hasn't really been producing. That being said, Tate won't be anything more than a deep league option for the moment.
