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.

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.
