  • Rockets' Tari Eason: Grabs seven boards in return

    Eason (concussion) tallied nine points (4-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt), seven rebounds and one assist in 24 minutes Wednesday in the Rockets' 91-90 win over the Warriors.

    Eason had missed the Rockets' previous two games while in the NBA's concussion protocol, but he was cleared to play in advance of Wednesday's NBA Cup matchup. The Rockets ran a short rotation that didn't include either Steven Adams or Jock Landale, so Eason ended up picking up some playing time as a small-ball center when Alperen Sengun was off the court. Eason is likely to see more of his playing time as a backup forward in future games, but his minutes should continue to hold steady in the 20-to-25 range. He didn't contribute any defensive statistics Wednesday, but his season-long averages of 2.0 steals and 1.0 blocks have made him a roster-worthy option in category leagues of 12 teams or deeper.

  • Rockets' Tari Eason: Records double-double from bench

    Eason racked up 16 points (5-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and three steals in 25 minutes during Tuesday's 120-111 loss to the Kings.

    Tuesday marked Eason's second double-double of the season, which he achieved in only 25 minutes of court time. His was an almost exact swap for Dillon Brooks for most of the game, although the two played together in the fourth quarter when Eason was on the court for 10 of 12 minutes. He also did the bulk of his damage in the final stanza, posting nine points and eight rebounds.

  • Rockets' Tari Eason: Held scoreless in win

    Eason closed with zero points (0-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt), three rebounds, one block and two steals over 18 minutes during Tuesday's 117-111 overtime victory over Minnesota.

    For the first time this campaign, Eason was held scoreless. He's posted two duds in a row and has shot 0-for-12 from the field in that span. He was having a terrific November before this bump in the road, so he'll likely find a middle ground eventually.

  • Rockets' Tari Eason: Goes for 22 points Friday

    Eason supplied 22 points (8-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals over 22 minutes during Friday's 116-88 victory over Portland.

    Eason came close to matching his season-best scoring mark Friday, and the former LSU standout continues to make a huge impact off the bench for the Rockets. This was the eighth time he scored in double digits across his last 10 appearances, and he's averaging 13.3 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 2.4 steals and 1.0 blocks per game in that stretch.

  • Rockets' Tari Eason: Collects career-high six steals

    Eason closed Wednesday's 130-113 win over Indiana with 11 points (4-8 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and six steals across 23 minutes.

    Eason was extremely active on defense, as is usually the case, which led to a career-high six swipes Wednesday. He was also efficient offensively despite forcing some tough looks. After seeing fewer than 20 minutes in four of his first five appearances this season, Eason's role has increased. In November, he's averaging 13.2 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.4 steals and 1.4 blocks in 25.5 minutes per contest.

  • Rockets' Tari Eason: 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.

    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.

  • Rockets' Tari Eason: 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.

    With the Rockets running away with this game early, there was a lot of garbage time and that didn't help Eason 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.

  • Rockets' Tari Eason: 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.

    Eason continues to thrive off the bench along with Amen Thompson, and his 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.
