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

Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason (leg) will not be available for Wednesday's clash with the Chicago Bulls as the team continues to manage his left lower leg. This is starting to become a bit of a concern, as it's unclear if Eason has suffered a setback or if this treatment is part of Houston's plan of load management after he sustained a stress reaction during the preseason. Though Eason's sporadic absences are certainly frustrating, the 2022 first-rounder was starting to pick up steam before returning to the shelf with averages of 13.6 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.6 steals, and 1.0 treys in 26.2 minutes over his last 10 games. Since Dillon Brooks (oblique) remains on the sidelines with Eason, Cam Whitmore, Jeff Green, and Jae'Sean Tate will all be candidates for extended run on Wednesday.

Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason (leg) will remain sidelined on Monday while he continues to deal with a lower leg injury. This will be the 22-year-old's fourth consecutive game missed after stringing together a good stretch of five games. There hasn't been any timetable for a return or a report on how severe the leg injury is, so fantasy managers will want to stay tuned for more updates throughout the week. Eason was seeing around 27 minutes a night off of the bench, so it's a bigger void to fill. With Dillon Brooks (oblique) also out, the Rockets have given Jae'Sean Tate and Jeff Green more opportunities. Both of which are solid streaming options for those managers who need a backup plan in the meantime.

Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason (leg) was originally listed as questionable on Friday morning, but has since been downgraded and will not play against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This is going to be his second consecutive absence while he manages left lower leg soreness. His injury doesn't seem to be too severe since he's received questionable tags and only has been downgraded on the day of the game. So, hopefully, this will be his last missed game, but that means Amen Thompson, Jeff Green, and Cam Whitmore should keep receiving extra minutes off the bench. Thompson seems to get the most minutes so far, so he seems to be the top streaming option of the three.

Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason (leg) has been downgraded from questionable to out on Wednesday versus the Brooklyn Nets due to left lower leg soreness. The Rockets have been fairly selective with Eason's off days following his preseason stress reaction, considering Wednesday is neither the first nor second night of a back-to-back. Eason should be back in the lineup on Friday against the Minnesota Timberwolves, but he might not be available when Houston concludes a seven-game homestand on Saturday. Though Eason remains relatively raw offensively, fantasy managers in nine-category leagues should put up with his routine maintenance. In just 21.8 minutes per night, the 22-year-old disruptive defender is manufacturing 9.8 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 2.3 combined steals and blocks per game. More minutes will be available for Jae'Sean Tate and Amen Thompson against the Nets.

Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason (leg) remains on the injury report as questionable ahead of Wednesday's home game against the Nets. He's carried the tag around with him for a few games now, but Eason has featured in five straight contests. The 22-year-old is dealing with soreness in his left lower leg. Jae'Sean Tate and Jeff Green are the primary options to cover Eason's minutes if he doesn't suit up on Wednesday. Tate is the better fantasy option of the two, and he's already gained a bit of momentum by replacing Dillon Brooks (oblique) in the starting unit.
