Questionable for Thursday
Eason has missed three straight games due to left lower leg injury management, but this is the first time he's initially drawn a questionable tag since his first absence during that stretch. If he's sidelined again, Cam Whitmore, Reed Sheppard and Jae'Sean Tate would remain candidates for slightly increased roles off the bench.

Won't play Thursday
Brooks will miss a second straight game after being a late scratch ahead of Monday's win over the Hornets. Amen Thompson started in Brooks' absence against Charlotte, while the latter's next chance to suit up will come during the second half of a back-to-back set Friday versus Minnesota.

Puts up 20 points
VanVleet was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice for unknown reasons, but he was never listed on the injury report. He's had a relatively quiet December, posting averages of 14.4 points, 5.4 assists, 4.3 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 2.1 three-pointers over his last eight games. During that span, he shot just 34.2 percent from the field and 24.6 percent from beyond the arc.
