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.

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.

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.

Impact Eason is available to return from a five-game absence due to a right ankle sprain, though he'll come off the bench and could operate on a minutes restriction in his return. In 12 outings off the bench so far this season, the 24-year-old forward has averaged 11.2 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 21.8 minutes per contest.
