Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Rockets fans and fans across the country. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smartsurvey.co.uk\/s\/8SCRL8\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sign up here<\/a> to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Tari Eason turned down a big extension this offseason and then went out and had the worst overall season of his career. And with the recent success of the Rockets with Reed Sheppard in the starting lineup, he may have lost his starting job as well. It\u2019s a far road from the $100 million extension the team offered him this past offseason, but those are the risks when you bet on yourself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">That bring us to this week\u2019s question, on whether you expected Eason back with the Rockets next season. He\u2019ll be a restricted free agent in the offseason, so Houston can match any offer he receives, but the team will obviously be weighing their options when the time comes. Do you think he\u2019ll be back?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">As you can see, only one-third of Rockets fans expect Eason to be back. I think it\u2019s probably closer to 50-50 right now, but there\u2019s no doubting it\u2019s shrunk from where things were before the season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Don\u2019t forget, <a href=\"https:\/\/sportsbook.fanduel.com\/navigation\/nba\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">head on over to FanDuel<\/a>, where you can pick up prop bets, parlays, and NBA Playoff winners. The Rockets have fallen all the way to +7500 to win the NBA Title, an almost 100 percent slip from just a few weeks ago, so if you have the faith they get it together, that\u2019s a $7500 payout from just a $100 bet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Be back soon with more Reacts!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA.
