Rockets hope All-Star C Alperen Sengun plays vs. NetsHouston Rockets center Alperen Sengun earned his first career All-Star selection on Thursday, but the fourth-year veteran’s achievement came...
Alperen Sengün - Questionable for SaturdaySengun (calf) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against Brooklyn.
ImpactSengun is in danger of missing his second consecutive outing while he deals with a left calf contusion. If the star big man is sidelined, Jonas Valanciunas and Jock Landale are candidates for a bump in minutes. Over his last five outings, Sengun has averaged 16.8 points, 9.2 rebounds and 4.6 assists across 30.8 minutes per contest.

ImpactJackson celebrated his All-Star nod with an excellent showing in this tight win over Houston. Even though he didn't fill the stat sheet as he's routinely done of late, he still found a way to extend his impressive scoring stretch. Jackson has reached the 20-point mark in each of his last six games, a span in which he's averaging 24.2 points per contest while shooting 55.8 percent from the floor.

Luke Kennard - Excellent effort ThursdayKennard closed with 22 points (9-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, two assists and two steals over 33 minutes during Thursday's 120-119 victory over the Rockets.
ImpactKennard has been a reliable addition to the starting lineup every time Ja Morant (shoulder) misses time, but the veteran sharpshooter has been taking his game to a whole new level of late. He's surpassed the 20-point mark in three of his last five outings and has reached the 15-point plateau in five of the previous eight. During that eight-game stretch, Kennard is averaging 15.3 points per game while making 57.4 percent of his three-point attempts.

Desmond Bane - Puts up 24 pointsBane ended Thursday's 120-119 win over Houston with 24 points (11-24 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 12 rebounds and six assists over 40 minutes.
ImpactBane had a bigger responsibility in the playmaking department due to the absence of Ja Morant (shoulder), and he finished just four assists away from a triple-double. Regardless of whether Morant returns for Sunday's matchup at Milwaukee or not, Bane should be a productive player for the Grizzlies as he's finding ways to make his presence felt on both ends of the court.
