Iffy for Wednesday Eason is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers due to injury maintenance.

Off injury report for Saturday Eason (lower leg) isn't listed on the injury report for Saturday's game against Oklahoma City.

Impact Eason sat out Thursday's loss to the Hornets -- the second leg of a back-to-back set -- due to left lower leg injury management. However, he'll return to action against the Thunder. Over his last five appearances (all starts), the 24-year-old forward has averaged 12.6 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 28.8 minutes per contest.

Ruled out Thursday Eason (lower leg) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Hornets.

Impact Eason popped up on Thursday's injury report as questionable due to a lower leg injury, and it wasn't until minutes before the 8:00 p.m. ET tipoff when the fourth-year pro was officially ruled out. Josh Okogie will enter the Rockets' starting lineup in Eason's absence.

Listed questionable Thursday Eason is questionable for Thursday's game against the Hornets due to left lower-leg injury management.

Impact The Rockets are considering holding Eason out of action for the second part of their back-to-back set. If the forward is ultimately downgraded to out, Josh Okogie stands out as the most likely candidate to replace Eason in the starting lineup Thursday.

Grabs 10 boards in win Eason finished with nine points (3-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds and one block over 33 minutes during Monday's 118-114 victory over Indiana.

Impact Eason fell one point short of a double-double, salvaging what was otherwise a relatively empty performance. Since returning from injury, Eason appears to have settled in as a permanent member of the starting unit, a welcome sight for fantasy managers. In six appearances following his absence, Eason has averaged 12.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 2.2 three-pointers, good enough for top 70 value in standard leagues.

Will rest Thursday Rockets head coach Ime Udoka said that Eason will be out for Thursday's game in Atlanta due to right ankle injury management, Varun Shankar of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Houston will exercise caution in holding out Eason and Dorian Finney-Smith for the second leg of a back-to-back set after both played in Wednesday's game against the Spurs. In the Rockets' 111-99 loss, Eason finished with 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt), six rebounds, three steals and one block in 25 minutes.

Catches fire from three Eason finished Monday's 108-99 victory over the Grizzlies with 17 points (6-17 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, one block and two steals in 27 minutes.

Impact Eason made the most of a starting nod against the Grizzlies. He knocked down four threes en route to 17 points. Eason was also productive on defense by collecting two steals, one block and seven rebounds. If Eason sustains this two-way production he will merit more starting opportunities. He's averaging 24 minutes per game this season which is just a tick below last season's average of 24.9.

Starting in return Monday Eason is in the Rockets' starting lineup against the Grizzlies on Monday, Jackson Gatlin of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Eason was held out of Friday's win over Detroit while managing a right ankle. He was given the green light to play Monday and will return to the Rockets' starting lineup while Josh Okogie comes off the bench.

Off injury report for Monday Eason (ankle) isn't listed on the injury report for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact Eason sat out Friday's win over Detroit -- the second half of a back-to-back set -- due to right ankle injury management. However, he's set to return to the lineup Monday. The 24-year-old forward has appeared in just two of Houston's past eight games, averaging 9.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.5 steals and 1.5 assists across 24.0 minutes per contest off the bench over that stretch.

JANUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Friday Eason (rest) will not play Friday against the Pistons.

Impact After logging 28 minutes in Thursday's overtime loss to the 76ers, Eason will be held out for left ankle injury management. Presumably, he will be back in action Monday against Memphis. Josh Okogie and Clint Capela are candidates to be more involved as a result Friday.

JANUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Limited in return Eason ended with six points (3-6 FG), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 20 minutes during Tuesday's 111-106 victory over the Spurs.

Impact Eason returned from a five-game absence as a result of an ankle injury, logging 20 minutes off the bench. Prior to the injury, Eason had been playing his best basketball of the season, having started in eight straight games. While this wasn't his best performance, he is definitely someone who needs to be added in all formats moving forward.
