After totaling 20 points on 9-of-29 shooting from the field in his prior two games, Şengün had a good night scoring-wise against the Timberwolves. The Rockets’ center goes into Sunday’s regular-season finale having scored 20 points or more in three of his last six appearances. Şengün’s final stat line was solid, and it’s possible that he’ll be done until the playoffs. The Rockets will be the No. 5 seed regardless of the outcome of their game against the Grizzlies, so that could be a spot for Şengün to rest.

Şengün locking in during the fourth quarter helped the Rockets pull away in Phoenix. The Suns could not find an answer for the Rockets’ center, who was especially impactful in making plays for his teammates. In the fourth quarter, Şengün recorded three assists and committed just one turnover. While Amen Thompson led the way with eight assists, Şengün recorded six and was able to get the turnovers in check after being a bit loose with the basketball early on.

Şengün’s layup with just under 12 seconds remaining gave Houston the 117-116 victory, extending their win streak to six games. The Rockets’ center finished with a final stat line that lacked only a steal, a positive end to championship week in Yahoo! default leagues. For those competing in leagues that will be active in Week 24, the Rockets still have plenty to play for in a four-game week. As a result, Şengün’s availability should not be a concern.

Şengün showcased his versatility in Wednesday’s victory. As a scorer, he produced at the free-throw line, inside the arc, and from deep, en route to finishing as one of the Rockets’ leading scorers. He also distributed the ball well and was disruptive on the defensive end of the floor. He’s played some good basketball down the stretch of the season, and it’s coincided with team success. Friday’s matchup against the Jazz will present Şengün with another opportunity to log big numbers.

After recording consecutive 30-point games, Şengün was limited to 14 in Friday’s win over the Grizzlies. To say he got back on track in New Orleans would be accurate, as the Rockets’ center was dominant in all phases. Şengün finished three assists shy of a triple-double, and the six defensive contributions were a great bonus for fantasy managers. The Rockets play four games in Week 23, starting on Tuesday against the Knicks, which is excellent news for those rostering Şengün.

20 of Şengün’s points came after halftime. He shot efficiently and made several timely blocks on the defensive end down the stretch, ultimately leading to a team-high in blocked shots. The 30-point outing marked the second consecutive for the fifth-year center, who continues to provide during the fantasy playoffs. A third straight 30-point outing could be on the horizon when the Rockets face the Grizzlies on Friday.

Şengün was very active on both ends of the floor on Monday. In the loss, he logged 37 minutes and nearly as many points, thanks to an extremely efficient shooting performance. The do-it-all center also attacked the glass hard to finish as the only Rockets player with double-digit rebounds. And the double-digit assists helped Şengün tally another triple-double on the season. Even with some back tightness, he continues to play and produce good numbers and be valuable in fantasy leagues.

Initially questionable, Şengün is active for Saturday’s game. As a result, there isn’t much to gain from streaming Clint Capela or Dorian Finney-Smith since they’ll play limited minutes off the bench.

Sengun is questionable for Saturday’s game against the Heat with lower back tightness. If the 23-year-old center is ruled out, Clint Capela would likely start for the Rockets. Houston could also use Dorian Finney-Smith if they elect to go with a smaller lineup.

Sengun returned from a two-game absence and was, unsurprisingly, one of Houston’s most productive players on Wednesday. By way of efficient shooting, he led the Rockets in points, while finishing as the only player on Houston to reach double figures in assists. The double-double marked his sixth points-assists double-double of the season, which has been useful for a Rockets team lacking a natural point guard in the starting unit. Barring injuries, Sengun should remain one of Houston’s most reliable players and a triple-double threat each time he takes the floor.

The lone change to the Rockets’ starting lineup is Şengün, who is back after sitting out Monday’s loss to the Lakers. His return means that Clint Capela will head to the bench, and he may fall out of the rotation entirely.

After sitting out Friday’s win over the Pelicans, Şengün has been ruled out for a second straight game. However, it will be Capela who replaces him in the starting lineup after Dorian Finney-Smith did so the last time out. The matchup dictated the change, as the Lakers start a true center in Deandre Ayton while New Orleans did not.

Şengün did not play in Friday’s win over the Pelicans, with Dorian Finney-Smith receiving the starting nod. Finney-Smith was not productive enough to affect fantasy basketball, and there’s no reason to consider streaming him if Şengün remains out on Monday.

Şengün’s absence creates a spot in the Rockets’ starting lineup, with Clint Capela the likely replacement. The veteran backup is worth streaming in this spot, especially for managers needing rebounds.

Şengün is dealing with lower back pain, casting some doubt on his availability for Friday’s game. If he can’t play against the Pelicans, Clint Capela would be the next man up. A fantasy afterthought this season, Capela would be worth streaming because of the rebound and blocked shot potential.

There were only two positives for Şengün in Tuesday’s blowout defeat. He kept the turnovers in check, recording two, and the three blocks were the most in a game for him since tallying three in a late February win over the Kings. While the Rockets’ center’s fantasy value since the All-Star break has been solid, Şengün is ranked outside the top-150 in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks.

While Şengün shot the ball well from the field on Sunday, his overall impact was limited. And, to the dismay of managers in nine-cat formats, turnovers remain an issue for the Rockets’ center. Şengün was responsible for five on Sunday, pushing his total to 24 over his last four games. That’s an area Şengün must clean up if the Rockets are to make a run in the playoffs. Fantasy managers would also appreciate him making progress in that area.

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 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.
