Sengun

Sengun has had at least 28 points in two of his last three games. The 23-year-old center was excellent Friday against the Trail Blazers, shooting 73.3 percent from the field. Sengun has provided seventh-round per game value over the last two weeks, according to Basketball Monster. The Rockets close out Week 19 on Sunday against the Spurs.

Şengün’s seven assists on Thursday were the most in a game for him since February 25, when he recorded 11 as part of a triple-double against the Kings. The Rockets’ center wasn’t as productive against the Warriors, an unsurprising development, given the defensive abilities of Draymond Green and Al Horford. What should also make Şengün managers feel better is that the Rockets play twice more in Week 19, starting with the Trail Blazers on Friday.

Şengün was initially listed as questionable for this game, but he’ll be good to and will occupy his typical spot in the starting unit. He had 32 points and 12 rebounds in their last game and will look to stay hot in this one.

Şengün is dealing with an illness, casting some doubt on his availability for Thursday’s game. If he’s unable to play, the Rockets could more Clint Capela into the starting lineup, which would give him some value as a deep-league streamer.

Like Kevin Durant, who scored 30 points, Şengün took full advantage of a Wizards’ rotation lacking size in Monday’s victory. He was responsible for eight turnovers, but many fantasy managers will be fine with Şengün’s 30-point double-double. The 32 points were three more than the center’s tally in Houston’s final two games of Week 18. The good news for fantasy managers is that the Rockets play three more games in Week 19, starting with the Warriors on Thursday.

Şengün put on a show at the Kings’ expense on Wednesday, recording the 11th triple-double of his NBA career. With no Amen Thompson due to injury, even more of the playmaking responsibilities landed on Şengün’s shoulders, and he was excellent. Over the past month, the Rockets’ center has been a fourth-round player in eight-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster. Şengün and the Rockets should face a far stiffer test on Thursday when they visit the Magic.

Şengün will be good to go after initially being listed as probable for this game. He finished with 22 points, seven rebounds and five assists against the Clippers on Tuesday and will look to have another productive night in the rematch.

Şengün is dealing with a left lower leg contusion, though he’s listed as probable for Wednesday’s game against the Clippers. With Steven Adams done for the year, Clint Capela would likely start in the unlikely scenario that Şengün isn’t available Wednesday.

After totaling 24 points in his prior two appearances, Şengün put up 22 against the Clippers. The Rockets center shot the ball efficiently and made some plays for his teammates as well. Due to his percentages, shooting 40.6 percent from the field and 69.6 percent from the foul line, Şengün has only been an eighth-round player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks, according to Basketball Monster. The Rockets have one more game before the All-Star break, Wednesday night against the Clippers.

Coming off his worst game of the season, with just seven points in Thursday’s loss to the Hornets, Sengun bounced back in a major way Saturday against the Thunder. The 23-year-old center had a triple-double to go along with three steals and three blocks. Sengun even had a bucket in the final minute that helped seal the victory over the defending champions. Sengun and the Rockets have four games coming up in Week 17, starting with a matchup against the Clippers on Tuesday.
