Alperen Sengün - Posts triple-double in winSengun totaled 16 points (3-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 10 rebounds, 10 assists, two blocks and two steals across 33 minutes during Friday's 125-104 victory over the Clippers.
ImpactThe Rockets dominated in this 21-point win over the Clippers and Sengun played a dominant role, limiting Ivica Zubac's impact on both ends of the court and recording his first triple-double of the campaign. Sengun has also recorded five double-doubles this month. He's averaging 18.6 points, 10.8 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 2.1 blocks per game in November.

Jabari Smith Jr. - Best game of season FridaySmith finished Friday's 125-104 win over the Clippers with 28 points (11-17 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and two steals over 35 minutes.
ImpactSmith posted a season-high scoring mark Friday, but it's hard to imagine him posting these numbers steadily. This was just the second time he reached the 20-point mark this season, and he's a low-level scoring option in an offensive scheme that also features Alperen Sengun, Fred VanVleet and Jalen Green. Smith is averaging just 11.8 points and 6.1 rebounds per game since the beginning of November.

Fred VanVleet - Records double-doubleVanVleet posted 18 points (7-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt), seven rebounds, 10 assists and two steals over 33 minutes during Friday's 125-104 victory over the Clippers.
ImpactVanVleet has been struggling with his shot all season long, but the veteran point guard took a step in the right direction Friday with an efficient effort that led him to posting his second double-double of the campaign. The veteran floor general came close to reaching a triple-double as well, coming up short of that achievement by just three boards. VanVleet could aim to build off this performance going forward, because even after this strong showing, he's just averaging 13.8 points per game while shooting 38 percent from the floor and 30.2 percent from beyond the arc.
