Eason (lower leg) tallied 16 points (6-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-5 FT), four rebounds and one steal across 24 minutes Thursday in the Rockets' 132-127 loss to the Kings. Eason had missed the Rockets' previous 13 games due to left lower leg injury management. Still, he wasn't eased back into the mix, as the 24 minutes he received exceeded his season-long average (22.8 per game). The third-year forward offered a nice scoring punch off the bench but didn't deliver his usual output in the defensive categories, where he's provided most of his value this season. In any case, now that Eason is healthy again and immediately playing normal minutes, he's worthy of at least a cursory pickup in 12-team category leagues. The long-term absence of Jabari Smith (hand) could provide Eason with a window to take on even more minutes in the frontcourt in future contests.

Puts up 16 points in return
Eason (lower leg) tallied 16 points (6-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-5 FT), four rebounds and one steal across 24 minutes Thursday in the Rockets' 132-127 loss to the Kings. Eason had missed the Rockets' previous 13 games due to left lower leg injury management. Still, he wasn't eased back into the mix, as the 24 minutes he received exceeded his season-long average (22.8 per game). The third-year forward offered a nice scoring punch off the bench but didn't deliver his usual output in the defensive categories, where he's provided most of his value this season. In any case, now that Eason is healthy again and immediately playing normal minutes, he's worthy of at least a cursory pickup in 12-team category leagues. The long-term absence of Jabari Smith (hand) could provide Eason with a window to take on even more minutes in the frontcourt in future contests.
Available to play
Eason (leg) is available to play Thursday against the Kings, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports. Eason will be returning from a 13-game absence Thursday, and he's expected to be limited to 20-25 minutes, according to coach Ime Udoka, as the Rockets ease him back into the mix. Prior to his injury, Eason averaged 11.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.0 blocks and 1.9 steals across 24 appearances.
Upgraded to questionable
Eason (leg) has been upgraded to questionable for Thursday's game against the Kings. Eason has missed the past 13 games for Houston, but his questionable designation is an encouraging sign for his fantasy managers, as it means he's officially day-to-day. If he does get the green light to return Thursday, he's likely to face restrictions in his first game or two back.
Downgraded to out Wednesday
Eason (leg) is out for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports. Eason will remain sidelined for a 13th straight game with lower leg injury management, and his next chance to play is Thursday against the Kings. Cam Whitmore and Jae'Sean Tate should see more playing time against Denver in Eason's absence.
Doubtful for Wednesday
Eason (lower leg) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against Denver. Eason is expected to miss his 13th consecutive contest Wednesday due to a lower left leg injury. There's no clear timetable for the 23-year-old's return, though Cam Whitmore and Jae'Sean Tate should continue seeing increased playing time if Eason is sidelined once again.
Not playing Monday
Eason (lower leg) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Grizzlies, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports. Monday marks the 12th game in a row that Eason will miss due to a left lower-leg injury. His timetable to return isn't clear, but his next chance to play will be Wednesday against the Nuggets.
Doubtful for Monday
Eason (lower leg) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Grizzlies. Eason is likely to miss a 12th consecutive game due to a left lower leg injury. Cam Whitmore and Jae'Sean Tate are likely to continue picking up extra minutes if Eason does in fact remain out.
Not expected to play Saturday
Eason (lower leg) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against Atlanta. Eason is expected to miss his 12th consecutive contest while the club manages his left lower leg injury. Cam Whitmore and Jae'Sean Tate should continue absorbing extra minutes off the bench if Eason is sidelined.
Won't play Thursday
Eason (leg) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Grizzlies. Eason will miss his 11th straight game Thursday as he continues to try to work his way back from a left lower leg injury. Dillon Brooks and Cam Whitmore will likely continue to shoulder the load with Eason on the mend.
