Houston’s Tari Eason remains questionable for Thursday’s matchup against the Pelicans due to an oblique injury. After being ruled out for Monday’s game, Eason’s potential return might see limited minutes as he reacclimates. His presence, however, could impact the playing time of teammates Jabari Smith Jr. and Josh Okogie once he gains full fitness.

Tari Eason remains sidelined for Monday’s matchup against the Nuggets due to an oblique injury, extending his absence to over a month. Despite limited appearances this season, Eason has impressed with a career-high 50.9 percent shooting from three-point range. His return is anticipated to bolster the rotation, as his overall performance metrics closely mirror last season’s productivity.

Tari Eason is expected to miss 4-6 weeks due to a strained oblique, sidelining him after initially being reported with a hip injury. His absence opens the door for Jeff Green to potentially join the rotation, though Josh Okogie and Reed Sheppard may also see increased playing time. Meanwhile, Jae’Sean Tate’s involvement remains uncertain as he has yet to log significant minutes this season.

Tari Eason’s departure due to a hip injury in Friday’s game against the Trail Blazers may lead to adjustments in the Rockets’ lineup. Jeff Green could potentially see a return to the rotation, but it’s anticipated that Reed Sheppard and Josh Okogie will initially absorb the extra minutes. The Rockets may also consider utilizing more two-big lineups, increasing time on the court for Steven Adams and Clint Capela.

In light of Jabari Smith Jr.’s ankle injury, Tari Eason will join the starting lineup against the Mavericks on Monday. Eason has shown improved performance over his last three outings, and this will mark his first start of the season. His increased role could offer him a valuable opportunity to make a significant impact in fantasy leagues.

Rockets head coach Ime Udoka may opt to rest Tari Eason and Steven Adams in back-to-backs due to their recent lower-body injuries. With Eason nursing a leg issue and Adams having undergone knee surgery, the strategy adds caution while leveraging Houston’s frontcourt depth. Eason’s potential rest raises considerations for fantasy managers, given his top-100 potential, whereas Adams’ minutes might see little impact due to the team’s acquisition of Clint Capela.

Rockets head coach Ime Udoka mentioned that the team might avoid playing Tari Eason and Steven Adams in both games of back-to-backs early in the season due to previous lower-body injuries. With Houston’s first back-to-back not until December, there’s ample time to evaluate their health. While Adams’ limited role may not affect fantasy significantly, Eason holds potential, particularly in points-punt leagues, as he contends for a starting position alongside Jabari Smith Jr.
