Rockets vs. Wizards

With Jabari Smith Jr. officially sidelined, we expect Eason to capitalize on a significantly expanded role after logging 36 minutes in his most recent outing. He faces a Washington defense that has bottomed out with a league-worst 127.3 defensive rating over their last five games, providing the ideal environment for Eason to leverage his 22.4% usage surge. This high-volume context, paired with his 16.2 PPG momentum, makes clearing this 14.5-point line a primary target against the league's least efficient bench defense.
