Eason has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Hawks due to left lower leg injury management.

EDGE Analysis

Eason will get a breather for the second leg of a back-to-back set after logging six points (2-10 FG, 2-7 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Monday's 114-112 victory over Boston. Fantasy managers can expect him back in action Thursday against Memphis. The Rockets list Cam Whitmore (illness) as questionable, and if he ends up joining Eason in street clothes, head coach Ime Udoka could open up more minutes for reserves such as Aaron Holiday and Jae'Sean Tate.

Eason recorded six points (2-10 FG, 2-7 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Monday's 114-112 victory over Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Eason had a couple of strong showings when he returned from his injury Jan. 16, but he's gone cold since. Over his past four games, Eason has shot 33.3 percent from the field with averages of 7.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 2.5 steals and 1.5 three-pointers. The workloads have been less than ideal, as well, as he saw 23.2 minutes per game in that stretch.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Eason (leg) is available to play Thursday against the Kings, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eason will be returning from a 13-game absence Thursday, and he's expected to be limited to 20-to-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.

Eason (leg) has been upgraded to questionable for Thursday's game against the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

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.

EDGE Analysis
