HOU • Center • #28

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 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.

A frustrating night for Şengün ended prematurely, as he was ejected for arguing a no-call on a drive to the basket. He was the second Rocket to be ejected, with head coach Ime Udoka receiving his marching orders at the end of the third quarter. Şengün finished with 13 points (5-of-12 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), eight rebounds, two assists, two steals and one blocked shot.

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.

Şengün’s percentages were poor, but those with him on their fantasy rosters received good value in the rebound and assist categories. For the first time since mid-December, the Rockets’ center has reached double digits in rebounds in three consecutive games. As for the shooting, Şengün will look to clean that up on Monday when the Rockets visit the Pacers. That’s the first of four games the Rockets are scheduled to play during Week 16.

Şengün was a game-time decision for Thursday’s game due to a sprained right ankle, but he’s good to go. He’ll take on his usual role as the starting center, with Clint Capela missing out on a potential increase to his playing time.

The Rockets will already be without Steven Adams, Dorian Finney-Smith, and Tari Eason, so losing Sengun would make them desperately short on big men. Of course, the Hawks will also be without their starting center, Onyeka Okongwu, so both teams could go with smaller lineups. Clint Capela would be in line to start if Sengun misses this game.

Sengun struggled on the offensive end against the Spurs. He shot inefficiently from the floor, making less than half of his 20 attempts. And he also couldn’t capitalize at the free-throw line in this game. He still nearly totaled 20 points and, with double-digit rebounds and a team-high in assists, nearly logged a triple-double. Even Sengun’s underwhelming performances amount to good fantasy production. He has a high floor, which is comforting for fantasy managers.

Simply put, the Grizzlies had no answer for Şengün, regardless of who they gave the task of defending him. The Rockets center made his first seven shot attempts and shot 15-of-17 from the field on the night. The 33 points were the most in a game for Şengün since December 15, when he hit that number in an overtime loss to the Nuggets. Add in the rebounds and assists, and Monday was an excellent night to have Şengün rostered.

While Şengün finished Thursday’s overtime defeat with a complete stat line, the efficiency was lacking. He shot 33.3 percent from the field and even worse from the foul line, struggling to get much going against the 76ers’ center rotation. Nights like Thursday haven’t been the norm for Şengün, but he’ll have another difficult matchup on Friday when the Rockets visit the Pistons.

Şengün finished Tuesday’s comeback victory one assist shy of his second triple-double of the season. While he only attempted two shots in the fourth quarter, the Rockets’ center’s basket with 38.6 seconds remaining extended his team’s lead to four. Houston held San Antonio to 14 points in the final frame. Houston now hits the road for a challenging back-to-back, visiting Philadelphia on Thursday and Detroit the following night.

Şengün had a good night, shooting 66.7 percent from the field and matching his career-high with five steals. If there has been an issue for the Rockets’ center recently, it has been the foul line. Over the past two weeks, Şengün has only made 45.8 percent of his attempts. Sunday’s 3-of-5 effort is a step in the right direction, and he’s still shooting 69.9 percent for the season.

Though it was an abysmal night from the free throw line, Şengün was able to record his third-straight double-double while posting a full stat line. The poor free throw percentage dragged his overall value down in this game, but he was able to do enough for help Houston get the win before fouling out late in the game. They’ll wrap up the week against the Pelicans on Sunday, which is a favorable matchup for Şengün to have another big night.

Şengün recorded his 18th double-double of the season on Thursday, with this being the first time since before Christmas that he’s recorded one in consecutive games. The Rockets’ center’s fantasy progress was somewhat derailed by injuries that sidelined him for five of seven games after Christmas, but he appeared to be getting back on track. The good news for Şengün managers is that the Rockets still have two games left in Week 13.

This was the third time this season that Şengün finished with at least 10 assists, and if he was as effective on the glass as he typically is, this could’ve been a triple-double. Şengün is averaging a career high in points, assists, steals and blocks, which has led to the best fantasy season of his career, even if his boards are slightly down. He’ll look to have a big night in their next game on Thursday against the Thunder.

This has been a challenging time for Şengün’s managers, as injuries have sidelined him for five of the Rockets’ previous seven games entering Sunday. (And he played only one minute in a January 3 loss to Dallas.) While the center did not shoot the ball well in Sacramento, playing 35 minutes in his first game back was encouraging. The Rockets play four games in Week 13, but a midweek back-to-back could limit Şengün to three appearances, depending on how the training staff handles his playing time.

After a three-game absence with a sprained right ankle, Şengün will play in Sacramento. His return means that Steven Adams will come off the bench. Joining Şengün in the starting lineup are Aaron Holiday, Amen Thompson, Kevin Durant and Jabari Smith Jr. Holiday is starting for Tari Eason, who’s out with a sprained ankle.

Şengün has missed the last three games with a sprained right ankle, but he could be back sooner than the 10-14 days timeline provided by head coach Ime Udoka on January 5. If Şengün returns, Steven Adams will likely head to the bench, and Clint Capela will fall out of the rotation.

He also said Şengün will be re-evaluated at the end of this week. If he misses 10-14 days, he’ll miss at least five more games and could miss as many as eight. Steven Adams will start in his place, with Clint Capela filling out the backup center minutes until then.

Şengün sprained his right ankle early in Saturday’s loss to the Mavericks and did not return. Who starts in his place likely depends on the availability of Steven Adams (ankle), who is questionable after missing the last two games. He’ll likely start if he can play, with Clint Capela holding onto the role if Adams can’t.

Şengün rolled his right ankle within the first two minutes of Saturday’s game and walked back to the locker room shortly thereafter. At halftime, the Rockets announced that he would not return. Clint Capela started the third quarter and could remain in that role if Houston doesn’t have Şengün and Steven Adams.

After a two-game absence with a calf injury, Şengün was back in the Rockets’ lineup on Thursday. He recorded an efficient stat line against the rebuilding Nets, but the most critical takeaway for fantasy managers was that Şengün was able to play 34 minutes. With Steven Adams and Clint Capela both out due to injury, the Rockets had to rely on their starter a bit more than they may have preferred, and he handled it well.

Despite originally being questionable for Thursday’s game, Sengun will begin the new year in the Rockets’ lineup. His return from a two-game absence will move Steven Adams back to the bench. Sengun is averaging 22.7/9.4/6.8 splits this season and has been one of the better centers from a fantasy basketball perspective. He’ll join Kevin Durant, Tari Eason, Amen Thompson and Jabari Smith Jr. in the starting lineup.

Şengün has missed Houston’s last two games but could return to take on Brooklyn. Steven Adams has been starting in his stead and would likely remain with the opening group if Şengün remain out. However, if Şengün returns, Adams’ streaming value will be eliminated. It’s also worth noting that both Adams (ankle) and Clint Capela (illness) are questionable, so the Rockets’ center rotation is really up in the air at this point.

Şengün sat out Saturday against Cleveland, and his continued absence should lead to a second straight start for Steven Adams and additional minutes for Clint Capela off the bench. Adams is worth streaming for fantasy managers in need of big man help.

Şengün did not play in Saturday’s win over the Cavaliers, which moved Steven Adams into the starting lineup and increased Clint Capela’s minutes off the bench. While Adams is worth a look for those needing rebounds, Capela is not.

Şengün is dealing with tightness in his left calf. The same issue landed the Rockets center on the injury report ahead of Thursday’s win over the Lakers, and he ultimately played 31 minutes. If Şengün can’t play on Saturday, the Rockets would likely move Steven Adams into the starting lineup.

Şengün only attempted seven shots on Thursday, the fewest in a game for him this season. However, the Rockets center did record his 16th double-double of the season. Şengün has provided second-round value in eight-cat formats, which aligns with his Yahoo! ADP (19). The sore spot for fantasy managers has been turnovers, with Şengün committing six on Thursday. If he can clean up that area, his nine-cat value will improve.
