Alperen Şengün led the Rockets with 39 points (13-of-25 FGs, 13-of-18 FTs), 16 rebounds and five assists in a 118-114 win over the Pacers on Monday.
January was a rough month for Şengün, but Indiana didn’t have any answers for him in this game. He matched his season high for scoring, which he initially set in his first game of the season. He also matched his season high for rebounds, which he set in early November. Şengün has had an excellent season, though he wasn’t named as an All-Star this season. He’ll look to build on this performance against the Celtics on Wednesday.
