Impact Sengun has established himself as one of the most dominant big men in the league, and his ability to fill the stat sheet on a regular basis makes him an absolute stud in fantasy. He's been on a tear of late, posting double-doubles with at least three assists in four of his last five appearances. He has 10 double-doubles on the year across 30 appearances.

Posts big double-double in loss Sengun notched 30 points (11-20 FG, 8-9 FT), 16 rebounds, five assists and four steals in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 123-117 loss to the Pacers.

The big man added a season-high four steals along with five assists in one of his best performances of the campaign.

Massive against Pelicans Sengun logged 37 points (11-21 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 14-17 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 38 minutes during Saturday's 106-104 victory over the Pelicans.

Impact Sengun recorded a career-best scoring mark and was dominant against a depleted Pelicans frontcourt, meaning he was able to do everything he wanted on both ends of the court. Sengun has always been a strong fantasy asset due to his ability to stuff the stat sheet, but a more prominent role on offense would skyrocket his upside even further. On that note, Sengun is averaging 22.0 points per game while shooting 53.3 percent from the floor over his last six appearances.

Leads rout of Dallas Sengun closed with 22 points (8-12 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 15 rebounds and three assists over 25 minutes during Friday's 122-96 victory over the Mavericks.

Impact The Mavericks played without both Luka Doncic (quadriceps) and Kyrie Irving (heel), so Sengun and his Rockets teammates pounced on the opportunity to take flight against a shorthanded club. Sengun led all players in the contest in both points and rebounds, notching his first double-double in two weeks in the process. The up-and-coming center continues to register his best campaign to date, posting per-game averages of 19.8 points, 9.2 boards, 5.2 assists, 0.7 three-pointers, 0.9 steals and 0.8 blocks over 31.7 minutes.

Rockets, Alperen Sengun Demolish Undermanned Luka-Less Mavs Without many important players, including Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, the Mavs were dominated by the Rockets to start a back-to-back.

DECEMBER 23, 2023 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Active as two-way threat Sunday Sengun registered 20 points (8-15 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 31 minutes during Sunday's 128-119 loss to the Bucks.

Impact Sengun has now gone four straight games without a double-double, but he remains an excellent two-way threat and one of the best big men in the league when it comes to filling out the stat sheet. Sengun has been on a scoring tear as well after notching 15 or more points in nine of his last 10 outings.

DECEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Productive at both ends Sengun chipped in 15 points (4-12 FG, 7-7 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, three blocks and two steals in 32 minutes during Friday's 103-96 victory over the Grizzlies.

Impact Sengun has been a stat-filling machine this season. Even though his double-double numbers are lower compared to the previous campaign, with the emergence of Jabari Smith potentially playing a role in that, he remains a productive two-way asset for a rising Rockets team. Over his last 10 contests, Sengun is averaging 18.3 points, 9.3 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.0 steals per game.

DECEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sniffs another Sengun logged 15 points (6-12 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals across 30 minutes during Monday's 93-82 win over the Spurs.

Impact Sengun is firmly entrenched as one of the most productive big men in the Western Conference due to his two-way ability, and he's posting career-best numbers in his third year in the league by playing alongside two skilled guards in Jalen Green and Fred VanVleet. Through 20 appearances, Sengun is averaging 20.5 points, 9.1 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game -- all of them are career-best numbers.

DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Records double-double in loss Sengun recorded 21 points (8-25 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, five assists, two blocks and two steals in 34 minutes during Saturday's 107-97 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Sengun logged his fifth double-double of the season, which is impressive considering Anthony Davis' massive total. The 2021 first-round pick is Houston's most consistent producer and is one of the most underrated big men in the league, but he needs more from his supporting cast to keep Houston competitive.

Stuffs stat sheet in loss Sengun had 22 points (10-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 134-124 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Sengun had the daunting task of dealing with Nikola Jokic, and while the Serbian star finished with a triple-double as Denver secured the victory, Sengun made his presence felt as well with contributions on both ends of the court. The big man is one of the most versatile big men in the league, and the numbers back that up, as Sengun is averaging 23.0 points, 10.2 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.2 blocks per game over his last six outings.

NOVEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Looks great despite loss Sengun totaled 31 points (10-19 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 11-14 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and one block over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 121-115 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact There's no longer any doubt that Sengun is the focal point of Houston's offense. Over his last eight games, Sengun averaged 23.3 points, 9.8 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 1.3 blocks. He does have some flaws in category leagues due to high turnovers and a below-average free throw percentage, but it's hard to complain about his recent production.

Blows up with double-double in loss Sengun supplied 30 points (13-23 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-5 FT), 13 rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 37 minutes during Monday's 121-116 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Despite the loss, Sengun turned in his best scoring performance of the season, and notched the second-highest rebound total of the campaign as well. Although the Rockets have lost three straight games, they came out of the gate hot, and Sengun's excellent play should help keep them in contention as the season progresses.

Cleared to play Sengun (back) will play Monday against the Warriors, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Sengun was a true game-time call leading up to Monday's tipoff, but he's been given the green light after successfully making it through pregame warmups. He's coming off his second double-double of the season in which he dropped 23 points and added 10 boards, five assists and one block in 31 minutes Sunday against the Lakers.

NOVEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time decision Monday Sengun (back) is a game-time decision for Monday's game against the Warriors.

Impact Sengun is at risk of missing his first game of the season due to a lower back contusion. With Tari Eason (leg/load management) already ruled out, Jabari Smith could shoulder the offense in the frontcourt, while Jeff Green and Jock Landale would step up as well if Sengun can't play.

NOVEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with lower back contusion Sengun is questionable for Monday's matchup against Golden State due to a lower back contusion.

Impact Sengun posted 23 points, 10 rebounds, five assists and a block during Sunday's loss to the Lakers, but he's in danger of missing the second half of a back-to-back set. This is the Rockets' first back-to-back of the season, so it's possible they are simply exercising caution with their talented big man. If Sengun is ruled out, Jock Landale and Jeff Green would be candidates to join the starting lineup.

Provides double-double Sengun provided 23 points (11-16 FG, 1-2 3Pt), 10 rebounds, five assists and one block across 31 minutes during Sunday's 105-104 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Sengun had a tough task dealing with Anthony Davis, but he still posted a solid fantasy stat line and recorded his second double-double of the year. Even though the double-doubles are not as consistent as last season, it's worth noting that he has scored in double figures while grabbing at least seven rebounds in all but one of his contests in 2023-24. Sengun is averaging 20.4 points and 8.1 rebounds per game in November.

NOVEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Leading scorer in defeat Sengun closed with 23 points (8-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-7 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Friday's 106-100 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Sengun moved past an ankle injury late last week and hasn't appeared to have any limitations over three appearances since then. He's been a consistent presence for the Rockets during that time, averaging 23.3 points, 8.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.3 steals in 34.3 minutes per game. The 21-year-old should continue to handle a significant role now that he's healthy.
