Eason closed Wednesday's 124-109 win over Memphis with 16 points (5-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 32 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Eason returned to the bench for this game since Jabari Smith (ankle) moved back into the starting lineup after a one-game absence. However, that didn't affect his production. Eason has scored in double digits in five straight games now, averaging 15.8 points per game over that stretch and reaching the 15-point plateau three times. Eason endured a slow start to the season, but his play over that five-game stretch should earn him a regular spot in the rotation for the time being.

Eason will come off the bench for Wednesday's game in Memphis, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jabari Smith is back and in the starting lineup following a one-game stint on the sidelines, so Eason will shift back to a reserve role with the second unit. In five games off the bench this season, Eason has registered averages of 11.0 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game in 23.7 minutes a night.

Eason ended with 15 points (6-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 30 minutes during Monday's 110-102 victory over Dallas.

EDGE Analysis

Eason moved into the starting lineup after Jabari Smith was ruled out with an ankle injury. The promotion suited Eason, logging a season-high 30 minutes, continuing what has been a solid run of production over the past four games. During that span, he has averaged 15.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.0 steals and 3.7 three-pointers.

Eason will be in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Dallas, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jabari Smith is out with an ankle issue, opening up a spot in the first group for Eason. Last regular season, Eason averaged 15.1 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.3 blocks in 29.9 minutes per contest over 16 games as a starter. He makes for a strong plug-and-play fantasy option Monday.

Eason ended Saturday's 128-101 win over the Celtics with 12 points (4-7 FG, 4-6 3Pt), six rebounds and one block over 20 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Eason connected on four three-pointers, putting together another serviceable performance. Outside of a 22-point effort in a win over Brooklyn, Eason has failed to reach any great heights thus far. Through five games, he is averaging 11.0 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.6 steals, 0.6 blocks and 2.4 three-pointers. He currently sits outside the top 150 in standard leagues, making him a nice buy-low candidate.

Eason amassed 22 points (8-12 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 1-3 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one block over 26 minutes during Monday's 137-109 win over the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

After totaling seven points on 3-of-11 shooting in 50 minutes over Houston's first two games, Eason bounced back against Brooklyn. The 24-year-old forward led the Rockets in scoring while knocking down a game-high five three-pointers. He should continue to see significant minutes off the bench thanks to his ability to contribute on both ends of the floor.

Eason supplied four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Friday's 115-111 loss to the Pistons.

EDGE Analysis

Eason struggled again Friday, continuing his slow start to the season. While his playing time was more than enough, his production was well below what is typically expected. Frustrations are likely to set in for those who took a chance on him in drafts, and rightfully so. However, he is worth holding onto in most spots, at least for another week or so, in the hope that he figures things out.

Eason finished with three points (1-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), five rebounds and one block across 22 minutes during Tuesday's 125-124 double-overtime loss to the Thunder.

EDGE Analysis

Eason was a non-factor in the loss, failing to build any rhythm on the defensive end, while making a number of questionable decisions on offense. While he is slated to play a meaningful role for the Rockets, the fact that a new contract was not signed could indicate some tension. Look for him to turn things around when Houston hosts Detroit on Friday.

Eason (rest) is off the Rockets' injury report for Tuesday's game against the Thunder.

EDGE Analysis

Eason sat out Thursday's preseason finale, though he's set to return for the Rockets' regular-season opener. The 24-year-old forward is expected to provide a spark off the bench in the 2025-26 campaign. Over 57 regular-season appearances (16 starts) last season, he averaged 12.0 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.7 steals, 1.5 assists and 0.9 blocks across 24.9 minutes per game.

Eason will rest in Thursday's preseason finale against the Hawks, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Rockets have opted to rest their key players Thursday. Eason will be looking ahead to Opening Night in Oklahoma City for his next game action.
