Rockets' Tari Eason: Offers efficient scoring in return
Eason (lower leg) tallied 16 points (6-8 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal across 16 minutes Sunday in the Rockets' 125-124 overtime loss to the Kings.
Eason made his first appearance for the Rockets since Nov. 14, after he had initially been sidelined due to a right oblique strain before having his return further delayed when he experienced general soreness in his left lower leg during the ramp-up process. The fourth-year forward was able to avoid a major setback due to the latter issue and excelled in his return Sunday, with his 16-point effort fueled by some red-hot shooting from downtown. A career 36.8 percent shooter from long distance, Eason shouldn't be relied upon to make a regular impact in that area, but he's proven to be an excellent per-minute contributor in the rebounds, steals and blocks categories. Eason could see his playing time tick up slightly in future games, though he'll have a ceiling on his minutes upside while the likes of Kevin Durant, Jabari Smith and Alperen Sengun are all available in the Houston frontcourt.

Rockets' Tari Eason: Good to go Sunday
Eason (leg) is good to go for Sunday's game against the Kings.
Eason hasn't played since mid-November, so the Rockets may ease him back into the rotation Sunday with a modest workload. For the season, Eason has made 11 appearances with averages of 11.5 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 2.5 three-pointers.

Rockets' Tari Eason: Won't play Saturday
Eason (lower leg) has been ruled out for Saturday's game in Denver.
Eason hasn't played since mid-November, first due to an oblique strain and most recently due to general soreness in his left lower leg. The Rockets haven't termed the lower leg issue as a setback, so Eason could have a chance at playing in the second leg of a back-to-back set Sunday in Sacramento.

Rockets' Tari Eason: Won't play Thursday
Eason is out for Thursday's game against the Pelicans due to a right oblique strain, per Will Guillory of The Athletic.
Eason needs at least one more contest to recover from the injury, which has kept him out since the middle of November. Josh Okogie should continue to soak up meaningful minutes in the frontcourt for the Rockets on Thursday.

Rockets' Tari Eason: Listed as questionable for Thursday
Eason is questionable for Thursday's game against the Pelicans due to a right oblique strain.
The injury has prevented Eason from playing since the middle of November, but the forward appears to be on the verge of returning. Eason is likely to carry a minutes restriction if he gains clearance for Thursday, but his eventual presence is still projected to eat into the minutes of Josh Okogie in the frontcourt.

Rockets' Tari Eason: Not playing Monday
Eason (oblique) is out for Monday's game against the Nuggets, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network reports.
Head coach Ime Udoka clarified that Eason's absence from Monday's game isn't a setback in his injury but rather general soreness after a workout. The forward hasn't played in a month while dealing with an oblique injury, so his absence shouldn't have a lot of fantasy ramifications. His next chance to play will come against the Pelicans on Thursday.

Rockets' Tari Eason: Questionable for Monday
Eason (oblique) is questionable for Monday's game in Denver.
Eason hasn't played in a month, so if he is cleared for Monday's game, he'll likely have some minutes restrictions. Eason's return would result in fewer minutes for Jae'Sean Tate.

Rockets' Tari Eason: Eyeing Monday return
Eason (oblique) could return as early as Monday against the Nuggets, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network reports.
Eason hasn't taken the court since Nov. 14 due to a right oblique strain, but he's seemingly nearing a return to play. Head coach Ime Udoka noted Saturday that the team is hopeful Eason can gain clearance to suit up for Monday's clash, though the training staff will need to see how sore he feels following Saturday's practice. More clarity on his status should come closer to Monday's tipoff.

Rockets' Tari Eason: Aiming to return before 2026
Eason (oblique) is targeting a late December return, Michael Shapiro of SI.com reports.
Eason was given a four-to-six-week timetable for a return after being diagnosed with a strained right oblique Nov. 15. He's on track to return near the six-week mark and is hopeful to make it back before the calendar flips to 2026. Look for players like Josh Okogie, Jae'Sean Tate and Jeff Green to continue to see more minutes while Eason is sidelined.

Rockets' Tari Eason: To miss at least four weeks
Head coach Ime Udoka said Saturday that Eason (hip) is expected to miss four to six weeks, Rockets reporter Vaneesa Richardson reports.
This is a tough blow for Houston, as they will be without one of their top forwards through at least the middle of December. The official diagnosis was a strained oblique after it was initially described as a contusion. With Eason sidelined, Josh Okogie could see increased playing time. Guys like Jeff Green and Jae'Sean Tate could potentially become more involved as well.

Rockets' Tari Eason: Won't return Friday
Eason has been ruled out for the remainder of Friday's game against the Trail Blazers due to a right hip contusion, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Eason will miss the entire second half after picking up a right hip injury. He'll finish the game with three points (1-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 11 minutes. Josh Okogie could see an uptick in minutes while Jae'Sean Tate or Jeff Green could enter the rotation. Eason's next chance to play will come Sunday against Orlando.

Rockets' Tari Eason: Logs 20 off bench in win
Eason racked up 20 points (7-12 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and six rebounds across 21 minutes during Wednesday's 135-112 win over the Wizards.
Eason turned in his first 20-point performance since Oct. 27 in just 21 minutes. He has also scored in double-digits in seven of his last eight performances, averaging 14.5 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.9 steals, 0.5 blocks and 3.1 threes on an astounding 56.8 percent clip in that span.

Rockets' Tari Eason: Stuffs stat sheet off bench in win
Eason closed Wednesday's 124-109 win over Memphis with 16 points (5-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 32 minutes.
Eason returned to the bench for this game since Jabari Smith (ankle) moved back into the starting lineup after a one-game absence. However, that didn't affect his production. Eason has scored in double digits in five straight games now, averaging 15.8 points per game over that stretch and reaching the 15-point plateau three times. Eason endured a slow start to the season, but his play over that five-game stretch should earn him a regular spot in the rotation for the time being.

Rockets' Tari Eason: Headed to bench
Eason will come off the bench for Wednesday's game in Memphis, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Jabari Smith is back and in the starting lineup following a one-game stint on the sidelines, so Eason will shift back to a reserve role with the second unit. In five games off the bench this season, Eason has registered averages of 11.0 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game in 23.7 minutes a night.

Rockets' Tari Eason: Strong production continues
Eason ended with 15 points (6-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 30 minutes during Monday's 110-102 victory over Dallas.
Eason moved into the starting lineup after Jabari Smith was ruled out with an ankle injury. The promotion suited Eason, as he logged a season-high 30 minutes and continued what has been a solid run of production over the past four games. During that span, he has averaged 15.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.0 steals and 3.7 three-pointers.

Rockets' Tari Eason: Will start vs. Dallas
Eason will be in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Dallas, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network reports.
Jabari Smith is out with an ankle issue, opening up a spot in the first group for Eason. Last regular season, Eason averaged 15.1 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.3 blocks in 29.9 minutes per contest over 16 games as a starter. He makes for a strong plug-and-play fantasy option Monday.

Rockets' Tari Eason: Hits four triples in win
Eason ended Saturday's 128-101 win over the Celtics with 12 points (4-7 FG, 4-6 3Pt), six rebounds and one block over 20 minutes.
Eason connected on four three-pointers, putting together another serviceable performance. Outside of a 22-point effort in a win over Brooklyn, Eason has failed to reach any great heights thus far. Through five games, he is averaging 11.0 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.6 steals, 0.6 blocks and 2.4 three-pointers. He currently sits outside the top 150 in standard leagues, making him a nice buy-low candidate.

Rockets' Tari Eason: Bounces back in blowout win
Eason amassed 22 points (8-12 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 1-3 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one block over 26 minutes during Monday's 137-109 win over the Nets.
After totaling seven points on 3-of-11 shooting in 50 minutes over Houston's first two games, Eason bounced back against Brooklyn. The 24-year-old forward led the Rockets in scoring while knocking down a game-high five three-pointers. He should continue to see significant minutes off the bench thanks to his ability to contribute on both ends of the floor.

Rockets' Tari Eason: Worrying performance Friday
Eason supplied four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Friday's 115-111 loss to the Pistons.
Eason struggled again Friday, continuing his slow start to the season. While his playing time was more than enough, his production was well below what is typically expected. Frustrations are likely to set in for those who took a chance on him in drafts, and rightfully so. However, he is worth holding onto in most spots, at least for another week or so, in the hope that he figures things out.
