Eason (lower leg) is out for Monday's game against the Thunder, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's routine for the Rockets to hold out Eason for one half of back-to-back sets due to lower left leg injury management. The expectation is that the third-year forward will be good to go Tuesday in Indiana. With Eason sidelined against Oklahoma City, Houston should move Jabari Smith back into the starting lineup.

Eason (lower leg) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Thunder.

EDGE Analysis

The Rockets continue to manage Eason's playing time due to a lower left leg injury. If the 23-year-old suits up Monday, he'll likely sit out of the second leg of the club's back-to-back set against the Pacers on Tuesday. He hasn't played in both halves of a back-to-back set since Nov. 26-27. Over his last five outings (four starts), Eason has averaged 14.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.6 steals across 29.2 minutes per contest.

Eason (lower leg) is not on the injury report for Saturday's game against the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Eason didn't play against the Spurs on Wednesday due to left lower leg injury management, but the fact that he's not on the injury report suggests he should be good to go Saturday. Eason has started the last six games for which he's been available, averaging 13.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 2.2 steals and 1.5 blocks across 30.8 minutes per game in that span.

Eason will not play Wednesday against the Spurs due to left lower leg injury management.

EDGE Analysis

Eason is essentially getting a rest day for the second leg of a back-to-back set after he logged a heavy workload in Tuesday's 100-97 win over the Bucks, finishing with 12 points, six rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block in 32 minutes. Jabari Smith will likely replace Eason as the Rockets' starting power forward Wednesday.

Eason (leg) will be in the starting lineup in Tuesday's game against the Bucks, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

After sitting out Saturday's game against Utah, Eason will start in his return and supplant Jabari Smith from the first unit. Over five games as a starter this season, Eason has averaged 13.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.2 steals and 1.6 blocks in 30.5 minutes, giving him enhanced fantasy appeal.

Eason (leg) will be available for Tuesday's game against the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

Eason missed Saturday's game against the Jazz as it was the second leg of a back-to-back set. The Rockets do play the Spurs on Wednesday, so there's a chance Eason could miss the second leg of this back-to-back as well with the Rockets taking a cautious approach with the forward.

Eason has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Jazz due to lower left leg injury management, Ben DuBose of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Eason will sit out of the second leg of the Rockets' back-to-back set Saturday after playing 27 minutes during Friday's win over the Timberwolves. Jabari Smith -- who made his return from a hand fracture Friday -- will likely be placed in the starting lineup due to Eason's injury. Eason's next chance to play will be Tuesday against the Bucks.

Eason (lower leg) tallied 12 points (5-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two blocks, one assist and one steal across 27 minutes in Friday's 121-115 win over the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

With the Rockets closing out their first-half schedule with a back-to-back set, Eason ended up sitting out the team's final game before the All-Star break on Feb. 13 against the Warriors due to lower leg injury management. As expected, Eason was available for the first game out of the break, and he somewhat surprisingly retained his spot in the starting five over Jabari Smith (hand), who made his return from a 22-game absence. Though Eason still saw solid minutes, Smith ended up seeing more playing time (38 minutes), and it could be a matter of time before he supplants Eason in the starting five. That could happen as soon as Saturday, when Eason will be a candidate to sit again for maintenance while the Rockets take on the Jazz. After Saturday, the Rockets will head into yet another back-to-back set, with games Tuesday versus the Bucks and Wednesday versus the Spurs.

Eason is in the Rockets' starting lineup against the Timberwolves on Friday, Jackson Gatlin of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eason was sidelined for two of the Rockets' last three games prior to the All-Star break due to lower leg discomfort, but he has been cleared to play Friday. The 2022 first-round pick has averaged 13.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 2.5 steals and 1.5 blocks over 31.5 minutes per game over his last four starts.

Eason (lower leg) is not on the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

Eason didn't play in the Rockets' final game before the All-Star break, a 105-98 loss to the Warriors on Feb. 13 due to lower leg discomfort. However, he's back for this clash and should see a steady dose of minutes regardless of whether he starts or comes off the bench. Eason is averaging 27.7 minutes per game over his last 10 appearances (four starts) with averages of 11.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 1.4 assists per game over that span.
