Jeff Green

Initially announced to have suffered a hip injury during Friday's win over the Trail Blazers, Eason has been diagnosed with a strained oblique. While Jeff Green could move into the rotation, it's just as likely that Josh Okogie and Reed Sheppard will absorb some of the minutes that would have gone to Eason. Jae'Sean Tate is another possibility, but he has not recorded double-digit minutes in any of his seven appearances this season.

Eason's early exit could open the door for Jeff Green to return to the rotation, but it is more likely that Reed Sheppard and Josh Okogie will just see a few extra minutes. The Rockets could also turn to more two-big lineups, which would result in more minutes for Steven Adams and Clint Capela.
