Bounces back in Saturday's loss Eason produced 10 points (4-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt), 11 rebounds, five assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Saturday's 115-105 loss to the Heat.

Impact After two poor performances that saw Eason manage a combined 10 points and 10 boards, the fourth-year wing bounced back with his fifth double-double of the season. Through 11 games in February, Eason averaged 10.1 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.6 threes and 1.1 steals.

Double-double against Jazz Eason supplied 11 points (5-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt), 10 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 32 minutes during Monday's 125-105 victory over Utah.

Impact The fourth-year wing produced his second straight double-double and his fourth of the season, all of which have come since the calendar flipped to 2026. Through eight games in February, Eason is averaging 11.4 points, 6.8 boards, 1.9 threes, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steals, but he continues to struggle on offense -- he's shooting just 39.1 percent from the floor and 32.6 percent from long distance on the month.

Struggles from floor in loss Eason closed Wednesday's 105-102 loss to the Clippers with 13 points (4-13 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and three assists over 34 minutes.

Impact Eason shot the ball poorly yet again, although the fact that he played 34 minutes on the second night of a back-to-back has to be the real talking point. Managers should now feel comfortable deploying him on a nightly basis, assuming he suffers no setbacks moving forward. The hope is that his production can increase, having averaged just 13.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 2.5 three-pointers in six games over the past two weeks.

Leonard's three-point play in final seconds lifts Clippers to a 105-102 win over Rockets

Kawhi Leonard scored 27 points and his three-point play with two seconds remaining lifted the Los Angeles Clippers to a 105-102 victory over the Houston Rockets

FEBRUARY 12 • Associated Press

Available to play Eason (leg) will play Wednesday against the Clippers.

Impact Wednesday's game will mark the first time this season that Eason will have appeared in both matches of a back-to-back set, which is an encouraging sign moving forward. Eason was limited to just six points on 2-for-10 shooting his last time out, so he'll be looking to bounce back in Wednesday's rematch with the Clippers.

FEBRUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact A maintenance day is on the table for Eason for the second leg of this back-to-back set. If Eason is held out, the Rockets will need players such as Josh Okogie and Jae'Sean Tate to step up on the wings.

Erupts for season-high 26 in win Eason finished Saturday's 112-106 victory over the Thunder with 26 points (10-22 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and three steals across 34 minutes.

Impact The 26 points were a season high for Eason, who hadn't even reached 20 since Nov. 12 against the Wizards. The fourth-year wing has had trouble staying healthy once again this season, but over six games since returning to the starting lineup Jan. 26 he's averaging 14.8 points, 7.0 boards, 2.8 threes and 1.7 steals in 29.7 minutes.

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.

FEBRUARY 6 • Associated Press

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.

FEBRUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Not listed on injury report Eason (leg) is not on the injury report ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Mavericks.

Impact Eason sat out Thursday's win over the Hawks with that game coming as the second in a back-to-back set, but he'll be back in action Saturday evening. Eason's return will likely result in Josh Okogie heading back to the second unit.
