Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason (leg) is out for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets.
Eason played each of the past five games after being listed as questionable, but he has been downgraded and will sit out Wednesday in Houston. Jabari Smith and Jae'Sean Tate are in line for more minutes, especially with Dillon Brooks (oblique) still out.
Per numberFire's NBA Heat Map, the Rockets’ implied total (113.0) is fourth-lowest and the game total (221.0) is second-worst of the day. Smith, who has a $6,700 salary on Wednesday, is averaging 32.0 minutes and 33.2 FanDuel points per game with Eason sidelined this season.
