Eason's big night against the Portland Trail Blazers proved why he's representing Houston in the Sixth Man of the Year race.
Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason has been having a major season off the bench. Last night, the Rockets defeated the Portland Trail Blazers, 116-88. In the blowout win, Eason put up 22 points, eight rebounds, two assists, and two steals in just 22 minutes of action.
Eason's big night further proved why he should be in serious consideration for the Sixth Man of the Year award. He has been Houston's best player off the bench, and one of the team's top players despite averaging just 23 minutes per game. The biggest argument for Eason is that while his offensive game is impressive, his defense has been an X factor for the Rockets.Eason is doing all of this while averaging a career-high 12.3 points on 53.1% shooting from the field and 35.3% shooting from three. His extreme efficiency on both ends of the court makes him a viable pick for Sixth Man of the Year to start the season.. Houston is 12-5, good for the third seed in the Western Conference.
