Questionable for Friday Sengun is questionable for Friday's game against the Pelicans due to a left ankle sprain.

Impact Sengun rolled his ankle during Wednesday's game against the Lakers, finishing with 19 points, seven rebounds and four assists. If Sengun is unable to suit up against the Pelicans, we could see more of Jock Landale. The Rockets could also utilize some smaller lineups with Jeff Green potentially getting a bump.

Impact Like every starter on both teams, Sengun was on the floor for less than 30 minutes due to the blowout nature of Houston's victory. Despite that, the big man managed to put up a healthy stat line on the strength of an efficient 8-for-10 mark from the field. Sengun has been a consistent scoring presence for the surging Rockets this season, posting at least 14 points in each of their seven games. He's continuing to climb the ranks of fantasy's top big men with per-game averages of 18.3 points, 8.3 boards, 6.6 assists and 1.7 three-pointers in 30.6 minutes.

Impact Sengun has taken a step forward this season and is beginning to look very good against some of the best big men in the league, evidenced by the fact he outplayed Domantas Sabonis for a second straight time Monday.

Impact Sengun continues to show the qualities that have made him one of the most valuable big men in fantasy over the last two NBA seasons. He's able to fill the stat sheet on both ends of the court and produce at a high level on a steady basis. This was the case against the Warriors despite the loss, and while three games is a limited sample size, Sengun is averaging 19.3 points, 9.0 rebounds and 6.7 assists across 34.0 minutes per game to begin the season.

Impact Sengun couldn't finish the game due to his foul trouble and had the challenging task of dealing with Zach Collins, one of the most physical big men in the league. However, he delivered an impressive outing, showcasing his elite passing ability and once again proving he's one of the most versatile centers in the league. Sengun needs to be more consistent on a game-to-game basis, but he has the potential to become a stat-stuffing machine as the season advances.

Stuffs stat sheet Wednesday Sengun contributed 14 points (6-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds and six assists over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 116-86 loss to Orlando.

Impact Sengun is one of the most skilled big men in The Association when it comes to his passing and vision, and that was in full display here with his six dimes, though most of his value tends to come from points and rebounds due to his ability to rack up double-doubles with ease. He came just two boards shy of opening the 2023-24 campaign with that feat, but he posted 28 double-doubles in 2022-23.

Poor shooting display in loss Sengun recorded five points (1-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists and a block across 24 minutes in Wednesday's 117-103 preseason loss to the Spurs.

Impact Sengun is locked in to open the season as the Rockets' starting center, and one lackluster outing in the preseason is not going to change his status as a core piece in the long-term picture of the franchise. He struggled massively from the field in this one, but he has plenty of fantasy upside due to his ability to contribute across the board on a regular basis. He averaged 14.8 points, 9.0 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game during the 2022-23 regular season.

Impact Sengun was one of the most productive centers in fantasy during the 2022-23 season due to his two-way play and his ability to fill the stat sheet on any given night, and that was on display here as well. Firmly entrenched as Houston's starting center, Sengun should be a reliable play every time the Rockets step on the court once the regular season begins.

Impact Sengun had himself a productive night Sunday, putting up solid contributions on both ends of the floor. While his numbers have been somewhat inconsistent over the past couple of months, there is certainly enough there for managers to be excited about. At this point, all he really needs is a coach who is not afraid to roll him out there, no matter the situation. When projecting his value, the offseason will likely determine exactly where he goes in drafts heading into the 2023-24 campaign.

Impact Sengun reached the 20-point threshold for the first time since March 22, and he tallied his fifth double-double through 14 appearances this month.
