Eason finished Saturday's 127-121 overtime loss to the Warriors with 27 points (11-19 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, four steals, three blocks and one assist across 35 minutes.
Eason paced the Rockets offensively, and his 27-point showing was his best mark of the young season. He also fell just one rebound shy of a double-double and swatted away three shots, showing fantasy managers that he can produce across the board when given extended run. Though Eason received some extra run after he was a key figure in helping the Rockets overcome a 31-point deficit to send the game to overtime, it's unclear if the big outing with earn him more minutes moving forward. Eason had been averaging 17.6 minutes per game over his five appearances prior to Saturday. The huge performance came after the Rockets exercised Eason's $5.68 million fourth-year team option for 2025-26 on Wednesday, per Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle.
