TariEason

News: 2 days agoEason (ankle) ended with six points (3-6 FG), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 20 minutes during Tuesday's 111-106 victory over the Spurs.

Spin: Eason had started in each of his prior eight appearances, but the Rockets elected to bring him off the bench Tuesday while he made his return from a five-game absence. He had been averaging 26.1 minutes per contest in those starts, but his move to the bench also came with a reduction in playing time. While Eason didn't light up the box score in his return, he's worth grabbing in most fantasy leagues where available with the expectation that he eventually recaptures a starting role and sees his minutes pick up in future games.
