ALPEREN SENGÜN NEWS

Logs another double-double Sengun ended with 17 points (5-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and one block in 35 minutes during Thursday's 108-102 victory over the Mavericks.

Impact Sengun's double-double Thursday was his fourth of the 2024-25 regular season, and he ended the game tied with Jalen Green for most rebounds. Sengun is shooting just 33.3 percent from the field over his last four outings, but the 2021 first-round pick will provide consistent fantasy value across all stats, especially rebounding. Through the first five games of the regular season, Sengun is averaging 15.2 points, 12.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.6 steals across 29.8 minutes per contest.

Jalen Green scored 34 points and the Houston Rockets never trailed in a 106-101 victory over Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs

Struggles in loss to San Antonio Sengun produced six points (2-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two steals over 22 minutes during Saturday's 109-106 loss to the Spurs.

Impact Sengun couldn't get anything going down low and had a rough time trying to get past Victor Wembanyama, who found a way to limit his impact considerably on both ends of the court. Sengun had recorded double-doubles in his previous two outings this season, however, and one subpar outing isn't going to worry fantasy managers who trusted in him on standard drafts. He should remain a capable producer for the Rockets due to his elite ability to fill the stat sheet.

Another double-double Friday Sengun amassed 16 points (5-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 15 rebounds, two assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Friday's 128-108 win over the Grizzlies.

Impact Sengun has logged double-doubles in each of the first two games of the regular-season, and he combined with Jabari Smith for 31 of Houston's 41 rebounds Friday. Sengun's ability to impact the game in various ways earned him a five-year, $185 million extension Monday, and early on, it appears that contract for the 2021 first-round pick could be a bargain for the Rockets. Sengun will be in for a touch challenge against Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs on Saturday.

Stuffs stat sheet in opener Sengun produced 25 points (10-22 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 18 rebounds, five assists, one block and four steals across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 110-105 loss to the Hornets.

Impact Just two days after inking a five-year, $185 million extension with the Rockets, Sengun showed exactly why he's considered a cornerstone of Houston's roster. The 22-year-old logged at least 18 rebounds for the fourth time in his career and notched his fifth game of with at least four steals. The center connected on two of his three attempts from long distance, which may have been an area of emphasis over the offseason after shooting 29.7 percent from range in 2023-24.

Agrees to five-year extension Sengun agreed to a five-year, $185 million rookie extension with the Rockets on Monday, Bobby Marks of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Sengun's five-year extension includes a player option in the last year. The 2021 first-round pick is coming off a strong 2023-24 season during which he averaged 21.1 points on 53.7 percent shooting, 9.3 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.2 steals across 32.5 minutes per game over 63 regular-season contests. He did miss the last 18 games of the regular season due to a Grade 3 right ankle sprain, but he was able to return for the start of training camp in late September. Sengun will remain an integral part of the Rockets' youth movement alongside Jalen Green and Jabari Smith.

Posts double-double Sengun recorded 21 points (9-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-7 FT), 10 rebounds and two assists across 26 minutes in Thursday's 129-107 preseason win over the Spurs.

Impact Sengun should be among the leaders of this Rockets team, and his fantasy upside is sky-high is he stays healthy, as he can make an impact on both ends of the court while being a stat-stuffing machine. He should be one of the most reliable big men in fantasy regardless of the format and could be in line to surpass the career-best season he had in 2023-24, when he averaged 21.1 points, 9.3 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game across 63 regular-season contests.

Sniffs double-double Sengun recorded 17 points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 11-12 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and two steals across 22 minutes in Wednesday's 122-113 preseason win over the Thunder.

Impact Sengun led the Rockets in scoring in this one, but he found a way to make an impact on the boards and defensively as well while ending just one rebound shy of a double-double. Even though it's only the preseason, Sengun is showing he's more than ready to start the campaign and picked things up right where he left them off in 2023-24. The big man is expected to play a massive role for the Rockets on both ends of the court, and his ability to fill the stat sheet across several categories should make him one of the most sought-after big men across all fantasy formats.

Fills stat sheet Monday Sengun recorded 17 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists, three steals and a block across 22 minutes in Monday's 122-113 preseason loss to the Jazz.

Impact Sengun missed the final 18 games of the 2023-24 season with a Grade 3 right ankle sprain but was deemed healthy for training camp in late September, and if fantasy managers needed any confirmation of his status, this performance cleared every possible question marking regarding the 'promising big man. It's unclear who will operate as Houston's go-to player on offense this season, but there's no question Sengun has the most upside in the Rockets roster from a fantasy perspective. He's expected to take another leap in his game after posting averages of 21.1 points, 9.3 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.7 blocks and 0.5 three-pointers in 32.5 minutes per game over 63 regular-season appearances in 2023-24.

Feigen reports that Houston's whole team will be a go for camp, and that the team has been doing full-contact scrimmages since last week. Sengun is primed for a massive 2024-25 season after posting averages of 21.1 points, 9.3 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.7 blocks and 0.5 three-pointers in 32.5 minutes per game over 63 appearances last campaign.

Rockets' Alperen Sengun Vows To Be 'Greater' Next Season Alperen Sengun almost became an All-Star during the 2023-24 season, but the Houston Rockets' big man vows to be "greater" next season.

APRIL 28 • SI.COM

Unlikely to play this week Sengun is "unlikely" to play in the final week of the regular season, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Sengun has not played since March 10, and batting anything unexpected, the star big man won't play before the end of the regular season, especially with the Rockets out of playoff contention. If that's the case, then Jabari Smith will remain at center, with Dillon Brooks keeping his place in the lineup as an undersized power forward. Sengun was playing the best basketball of his career before suffering the injury, averaging 21.1 points, 9.3 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.2 steals per game this season.
