Tari Eason News, Rumors, Updates - Houston Rockets

Well-rounded performance in loss Eason supplied nine points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 14 rebounds, four steals, three blocks and one assist across 31 minutes during Monday's 101-100 loss to the Bucks.

Impact Despite the loss, Eason impressed while tying career-high marks in rebounds and blocks. Moreover, the 23-year-old was one steal shy of tying another career high, though he still tied his season high that he set Nov. 2 against the Warriors. Eason continues to play valuable minutes off the bench on a loaded roster, and his defensive upside makes him an extremely intriguing fantasy option.

Sees just 18 minutes Eason ended with four points (1-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and one steal in 18 minutes during Sunday's 143-107 win over the Bulls.

Impact With the Rockets running away with this game early, there was a lot of garbage time in this game and that didn't help Eason on Sunday with Houston going deep into their bench. Despite this muted performance, Eason has been solid in November with averages of 13.9 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.3 blocks and 1.8 steals.

Notches 18 points in win Eason ended with 18 points (7-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 27 minutes during Sunday's 101-99 victory over Detroit.

Impact Eason continues to thrive off the bench along with Amen Thompson for Houston, and his fantasy value is trending in the right direction. Over his last five outings, Eason is averaging 15.2 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.4 blocks, 1.8 steals and 1.6 three-pointers on 55.4 percent shooting from the field and 44.4 percent from beyond the arc.

Will play Wednesday Eason (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the Spurs.

Impact Eason was deemed questionable for the contest due to illness, but he'll give it a go Wednesday. Eason is averaging 13.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.8 combined steals-plus-blocks across his last four outings.

NOVEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Cools off following major outing Eason posted seven points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, an assist and a block over 25 minutes in Monday's 109-97 victory over the Knicks.

Impact After two back-to-back games with 15+ points and 10+ field goal attempts (the most recent being a 27 point explosion), Eason was not able to maintain his production Monday as he put up a more modest statline. Despite this, his 25 minutes were his second most in a game this season, which is an encouraging sign moving forward. Through 7 games, Eason averages 10.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.0 blocks in 21.1 minutes.

NOVEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Erupts for 27 points Eason finished Saturday's 127-121 overtime loss to the Warriors with 27 points (11-19 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, three blocks and four steals over 35 minutes.

Impact Eason paced the Rockets offensively, and his 27-point showing was his best mark of the young season. He also fell just one rebound shy of a double-double and swatted away three shots, showing fantasy managers that he can produce across the board on occasion. Eason is averaging 11.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 blocks through his first six games of the 2024-25 campaign.

Available to play Saturday Eason (lower leg) is available for Saturday's game against the Spurs, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Eason was tabbed as a game-time call for this matchup, but he's received the green light and will be available off the bench. The third-year forward has played 13 and 16 minutes off the bench in his first two appearances this season.

OCTOBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Saturday Eason is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Spurs due to left lower leg injury management.

Impact Eason underwent surgery in March to treat a benign growth on his left lower leg. While the 23-year-old forward has played in both of Houston's games so far this season, the team could opt to play it cautiously on the second night of a back-to-back.

OCTOBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Underwhelming performance Eason ended Wednesday's 110-105 loss to the Hornets with two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and two steals across 13 minutes.

Impact Eason was quiet in the loss, a worrying sign for anyone who took a chance on him in drafts. On a roster laden with upside, Eason simply doesn't have a clear path to minutes. Despite a fantasy-friendly game, he is not someone who needs to be rostered in all spots.

OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Back to action Thursday Eason (rest) will play in Thursday's preseason finale against San Antonio, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Eason will join a fully healthy roster Thursday, with the exception of Jock Landale (rest). Even with the entirety of Houston's cast of forwards set to suit up, Eason is among the more likely candidates for extended run.

OCTOBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Will not play Tuesday Eason (rest) will not play in Tuesday's preseason game against the Pelicans, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.

Impact According to coach Ime Udoka, this is a planned maintenance day for Eason. The forward will instead play Thursday against the Spurs in another exhibition.

OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Returning to action Wednesday Eason (rest/leg) is set to play in Houston's preseason contest versus the Thunder on Wednesday.

Impact Eason will participate in his first game action since Jan. 1 after undergoing surgery in March to treat a benign growth in his lower leg, then being rested for Monday's preseason opener. The 23-year-old averaged 11.3 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.8 steals and 23.9 minutes per game across his last 15 regular-season contests.

OCTOBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Out for Monday Eason (rest) has been ruled out for Monday's preseason opener against the Jazz, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Eason underwent surgery in March to treat a benign growth in his lower left leg, though he has been an active participant during training camp thus far. The 23-year-old is likely only out for an extra day of rest, and he is expected to be available for Opening Night. With Eason out, the club will get an extended look at Cam Whitmore, Jae'Sean Tate and Nate Williams.

Works out ahead of training camp Eason (lower back) worked out with several Rockets teammates before Houston's Media Day on Tuesday, Michael Shapiro of SI.com reports.

Impact Eason underwent surgery in March to treat a benign growth in his lower leg, but as expected, he's back to full strength ahead of training camp. The 2022 No. 17 overall pick averaged 9.8 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.9 blocks in 21.8 minutes per game last season. However, the Rockets also have Alperen Sengun, Jabari Smith, Amen Thompson and Cam Whitmore as ascending frontcourt options, limiting Eason's fantasy ceiling in Year 3.

On track for training camp Rockets general manager Rafael Stone said Tuesday that Eason (lower leg) is on track to be available for training camp, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston.

Impact Eason underwent surgery in March to treat a benign growth in his lower leg but is expected to make a full recovery by the time training camp rolls around in the fall. In 22 appearances last season, Eason averaged 9.8 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.4 steals in 21.8 minutes. The 22-year-old is a versatile prospect on both ends of the floor, but with other young options in the frontcourt such as Jabari Smith, Amen Thompson and Cam Whitmore, Eason may struggle to win playing time.
