HOU • Center • #28
about 22 hours ago
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.

Şengün is good to go after initially being listed as questionable with tightness in his left calf. The lone change to the starting lineup is Eason, who replaces Josh Okogie. Whether this holds or not, now is the time to add Eason in standard leagues if he’s still sitting on your league’s waiver wire.

Sengun popped up on the injury report as questionable with a calf injury Wednesday night ahead of the Rockets’ Christmas Day matchup with the Lakers. If the 23-year-old center can’t go, it’ll be bad news for Houston. Steven Adams and Clint Capela would handle the center minutes for the Rockets.

Şengün finished three assists shy of his second triple-double of the season, but he’s up to 15 double-doubles. Like Kevin Durant, his production took a hit because Ime Udoka decided not to put his starters back into the game during the fourth quarter. The Clippers led by a comfortable margin, so the plug was pulled. Şengün and the Rockets will look to redeem themselves when they visit the Lakers on Christmas Night.

One day removed from scoring eight points in his least productive game of the season, Şengün got back on track in Sacramento. He’s now scored at least 28 points in eight games, one more than his tally during the entire 2024-25 campaign. Over the last two weeks, Şengün has been a top-25 player in eight-cat formats, which aligns with his season-long value. The Rockets open a three-game Week 10 on Tuesday against the Clippers.

Şengün finished Thursday’s game with his 14th double-double of the season, but it wasn’t enough to help the Rockets avoid blowing a 25-point lead. The lone issue for him was the three-point line, as Şengün missed all four of his attempts. Over the past two weeks, he has provided top-20 value in eight-cat formats, which aligns with his season-long value. The Rockets end Week 9 with a Saturday/Sunday back-to-back, which is good news for Şengün managers.

Şengün’s first triple-double of the season wasn’t enough to get the Rockets the win, but fantasy managers won’t care about the game’s outcome. Over the past two weeks, he has provided top-10 value in eight-cat formats. As a result, Şengün’s season-long value aligns with his Yahoo! ADP (19). Houston closes Week 9 with three games, starting with the Pelicans on Thursday, which is excellent for those who have Şengün on their rosters.

Sengun hadn’t played in over a week due to an illness, but he still had a great game Thursday. The 23-year-old center has recorded a double-double in three consecutive games played. Only Nikola Jokic has more games with at least 20 points, at least 15 rebounds and at least five assists this year.

Şengün will miss a second straight game, with Steven Adams replacing him in the starting lineup for Friday’s win over the Suns. However, with Adams also out, Clint Capela could move into the starting lineup on Saturday. He hasn’t affected fantasy basketball this season, but the chance to start may change that.

Sengun missed Friday’s game against the Suns with Steven Adams taking his place in the starting lineup. Adams is going to rest Saturday so Clint Capela will be in line for a rare start if Sengun is ultimately ruled out.

Şengün was downgraded from questionable to out ahead of Friday’s matchup with the Suns. The Rockets will instead start veteran center Steven Adams in place of Şengün as they look to secure a second win over Phoenix this season. Clint Capela should move to second on the depth chart at the center position for Friday’s game, which should allow more minutes than usual to find production.

Sengun popped up as questionable with an illness on Friday afternoon ahead of the matchup against the Suns. The 23-year-old center’s status is up in air with mere hours to get over his illness. If Sengun is out, Steven Adams and Clint Capela will handle the center duties for the Rockets.

The Kings struggled to find an answer for Şengün, who recorded his 11th double-double of the season on Wednesday. For the season, the Rockets center is providing top-25 value in eight-cat formats, which aligns with his Yahoo! ADP (19). As long as Şengün stays healthy, those who have him rostered should be well-positioned to compete in their leagues throughout the season.

Sengün was fantastic in Monday’s loss, reaching the 30-point mark for the third time this season while providing much more production as a rebounder and facilitator than the previous night against the Jazz. And as if his near-triple-double wasn’t enough, the fifth-year center had his most dominant defensive performance of the season from a fantasy basketball standpoint, tallying seven stocks for the game. Sengün is likely to make a massive impact on the offensive end each time he takes the floor. If his defensive production can remain consistent, his floor and ceiling will rise even further in fantasy leagues.

Şengün didn’t supply his typical dose of rebounds and dimes, but he was unstoppable as a scorer. He only played 28 minutes in the blowout win, so he could’ve had a better outing if the game was closer. Houston will remain in Utah to take on the Jazz once again on Monday, so Şengün should have no issues having another big scoring night.

On a night in which Kevin Durant was unavailable, Sengun didn’t fully take advantage of the additional scoring opportunities left behind. He shot inefficiently from the field, didn’t make a three-pointer, and was hardly impactful on the glass. Still, Sengun came up with a big basket down the stretch and finished as the Rockets’ leader in assists. He’s been less productive over the past few games, but should remain as one of the top centers in fantasy leagues moving forward.

Şengün was outstanding on Wednesday, outplaying Cleveland’s tandem of Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen while recording his ninth double-double of the season. The Rockets center, who was effectively the starting power forward with Steven Adams (6/11/3/0/1) in the lineup, is providing top-25 value in eight- and nine-cat formats. That aligns with Şengün’s Yahoo! ADP, so those who have him rostered are in a good place.

Şengün has recorded a double-double in four straight games, with Sunday’s being his first with at least 30 points since Houston’s season-opener. Unfortunately, fantasy managers took a beating in the field-goal percentage and turnover (five) categories, but efficiency has not been a significant issue for the Rockets center this season. Şengün heads into Week 5 providing top-30 value in eight- and nine-cat formats, performing slightly better in the former.

Şengün has been a force all season, but this was arguably his best performance of the year. He fell one assist of a triple-double, but it was the defensive production that really made this an elite performance for him. His assists and steals matched his season-high, while the blocks were the most he’s had in a game this year. On top of that, he didn’t turn the ball over once. This was an incredible outing for Şengün, and he’ll look to wrap the week up on a high note against the Magic on Sunday.
