Aaron Holiday

Eason will sit out the first night of the back-to-back, which will mean a few extra minutes for Amen Thompson and Aaron Holiday off the bench. They'll have another back-to-back later in the week, which will likely mean that Eason has another absence coming up.

Eason was a game-time decision for Thursday's game, with the Rockets ultimately deciding to hold him out. His absence frees up minutes for some of Houston's reserves, with Aaron Holiday in line to benefit. However, he is not worth streaming.

While Eason is a game-time call for Thursday's game, the expectation is that he will play, according to Rockets coach Ime Udoka. The third-year forward has been a valuable fantasy option this season, sitting a few spots outside the top-50 in 9-cat per-game value. If Eason cannot play, Aaron Holiday may pick up a few more minutes off the bench.

Sunday's game is the second Eason will miss after entering the league's concussion protocol. Aaron Holiday played additional minutes off the bench against the Warriors on Thursday, but he is not worth adding in fantasy leagues.
