Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun got his first career triple-double on Wednesday in a loss to the Sacramento Kings. The second-year big man out of Turkey registered 10 points, 10 assists, 10 rebounds, and one steal. He shot 5-for-9 overall and missed his lone free throw attempt, but was able to achieve the triple-double in just 28 minutes of playing time. Sengun has been quite inconsistent this season but has still turned in a good amount of solid performances to warrant him being rostered in a lot of deeper leagues. He's especially valuable in dynasty formats.

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (back) will suit up for Monday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The young big man missed their last game on Saturday due to lower back pain. He'll return to the starting lineup on Monday, so fantasy managers can get him back in their lineups. Bruno Fernando will head back to the bench where he won't have much streaming appeal behind Sengun in the rotation.

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun returned to action with a big performance Saturday versus the Thunder, collecting 21 points and grabbing a career-high 19 rebounds. He also stuffed the stat sheet with seven assists, three steals and two blocks. Sengun shot 10-for-17 from the floor and had three turnovers in 35 minutes. The talented big man was back from a one-game absence and notched 10 rebounds in the fourth quarter alone. Sengun is a very versatile center who is averaging 15.2 points, 9.1 rebounds and 2.4 assists. He will get a chance to shine against the reigning MVP Nikola Jokic in the next pair of games and should have a good time, with Jokic not known as a very good defender.

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (groin) is expected to be available for Saturday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He didn't suit up on Friday due to a right groin strain. However, it sounds like Sengun will play here, barring a setback during warmups. The Rockets have already ruled out Bruno Fernando (rest) for Saturday's game. That means, Sengun should see plenty of minutes and return to his top-100 value in 9-cat formats. Although, fantasy managers should double check his status before tip-off.

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (groin) is probable for Saturday's meeting with Oklahoma City. The 20-year-old didn't play on Friday night versus Atlanta because of a groin issue, allowing Bruno Fernando to get the start and finish with seven points, three rebounds, and one block. The Rockets will certainly be happy to get Sengun back in the lineup. Fantasy managers should be as well, especially since he'll potentially be facing a Thunder defense that has struggled against opposing centers this season.

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (groin) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. This marks the second game in a row that Sengun will miss due to a right groin strain. Usman Garuba is likely to make his second start of the season, but isn't a must-add player. The return of Bruno Fernando could hurt the fantasy value of Garuba on Friday. Fantasy managers might want to stay away from this situation until it's sorted out. Garuba could have some deep league appeal, but how much he'll play is unknown at the moment.

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (groin) has been listed as doubtful with a groin strain. The likelihood of him playing on Friday against the Atlanta Hawks doesn't look too promising. During the two games that he missed toward the beginning of the season, a few different players seemed to get increased opportunities. Tari Eason, Usman Garuba, and Jabari Smith Jr. all saw an increase in usage. Eason is probably the best streaming option as Smith is most likely taken in most fantasy leagues already.

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (groin) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against Golden State. He is in danger of missing his third game of the season due to right groin soreness. The 20-year-old is enjoying a nice campaign, getting 15.6 points per game with 8.6 rebounds and 1.1 blocks. Sengun's absence would open the door for Usman Garuba to enter the starting lineup. He's had his moments this season, but the Spaniard has been a very inconsistent performer and might not be able to make good use of the extended minutes.

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (illness) is listed as probable to play Friday against the Portland Trail Blazers. Sengun has missed the past two games with an undisclosed illness, but is on track to rejoin the team Friday. With Bruno Fernando (knee) out, it's been a mix of Jabari Smith Jr. and Usman Garuba at center. It is unclear if Sengun will start or come off the bench, but he should see a sizable role in his return.

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (illness) is not flying with the team to take on the Utah Jazz. He does, however, plan on making the road trip at some point. This will be the second game he misses with his current illness. The promising news is that he does plan to join the team afterward. Fantasy managers should stay tuned after the game on Wednesday to see if there are any updates on his status. Sengun has been able to produce solid numbers so far this season and should continue to do so when he returns.

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. The 20-year-old is feeling under the weather, so he'll sit this one out. The hope is that this is a minor illness and Sengun will be able to suit up for Wednesday's contest. Until then, Usman Garuba should get a decent amount of run in the rotation. He'll be an interesting short term streaming option while the Rockets are banged up. Jabari Smith could also get in some playing time at the five, but Garuba should get a majority of the minutes at center.

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. The Rockets could certainly use his help with Bruno Fernando (knee) and Jae'Sean Tate (ankle) already sidelined for this game. Usman Garuba is expected to play heavy minutes, while Kenyon Martin Jr. is asked to pick up the slack as well. Sengun should be able to hold decent value while the Rockets are banged up, but fantasy managers should check back to see if he's going to suit up on Monday. Otherwise, Garuba is looking like a strong streaming option.

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun could see more work this season, according to ESPN NBA insider Tim MacMahon. The Rockets dealt Christian Wood to Dallas, so it's evident the team has plenty of faith that the 19-year-old can hold down things in the middle moving ahead. Despite logging only 20.7 minutes per game, Sengun made the most of his time on the floor during his inaugural season, finishing with averages of 9.6 points, 5.5 boards, and 2.6 assists. He may substantially increase his production in 2022-23, although his shoddy shooting percentages need to improve for category managers to benefit fully from his presence on their rosters.

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (thigh) has officially been ruled out for Friday night's game against the Sacramento Kings. The rookie is dealing with a left thigh bruise. He suffered the injury on Monday and he hasn't played since. Rockets beat writer Jonathan Feigen, who broke the news about Sengun, added that the Rockets rookie is "close to returning." So fantasy managers in season-long leagues should hold onto him if possible. Expect for the Rockets to give fellow rookie Usman Garuba another start at center on Friday. Garuba compiled eight points and seven rebounds over 26 minutes in his start against the Kings on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Bruno Fernando came up with a double-double of 17 points and 10 boards on Wednesday. He's a sneaky fantasy option for Friday and should be prioritized over Garuba.

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (leg) is questionable to play in Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings. The rookie suffered a left leg injury during Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs and he wound up sitting out during the team's following game on Wednesday. If Sengun plays on Friday, he's a must-start fantasy player, but the Rockets will likely be cautious with him. Usman Garuba filled in as the team's starting center on Wednesday. He logged 26 minutes and put up eight points and seven rebounds. Garuba could provide decent rebounding numbers and potentially some defensive stats on Friday if Sengun is held out, but don't bank on much more than that.

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (leg) has been ruled out for Wednesday night's game against the Sacramento Kings. The rookie suffered an injury to his left leg during Monday's game and the team is considering him day-to-day. The Rockets don't have many options at center with both Sengun and Christian Wood (hamstring) sidelined. Usman Garuba could function as an undersized center or we could see Bruno Fernando operate as the team's top center despite the fact that he's barely played since joining the team in February.

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (leg) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. This doesn't come as a shock after Sengun was unable to finish Monday's game due to a left leg contusion. Christian Wood (hamstring) has already been ruled out for the rest of the regular season. That means, Usman Garuba and Bruno Fernando could be looking at an extended role on Wednesday. Neither of them are reliable fantasy options, so hopefully Sengun can play.

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun produced the best offensive night of his young NBA career in Saturday's win over Portland, dropping 27 points off the bench. Sengun has had sporadic DFS appeal throughout the year when drawing starts, but he found his rhythm Saturday en route to shooting 10-for-16 overall, including knocking down multiple threes for the third time this year. He also added seven rebounds and three assists across his 26 minutes. The 19-year-old has shown an adept skill set during his rookie campaign, having averaged 9.3 points and 5.3 boards despite playing fewer than 20 minutes on a nightly basis. He'll be a name to monitor in 2022-23 drafts if Houston makes any substantial changes to its frontcourt rotation.

Houston Rocket center Alperen Sengun (ankle) will make his return to the court on Friday against the Sacramento Kings. He has missed each of the last seven games due to a right ankle sprain. The organization expected Sengun to return here, while head coach Stephen Silas confirmed Sengun will play regular minutes. Sadly, Christian Wood being on the roster blocks Sengun from reaching his full potential. Although, Sengun could still be worth a look while playing minutes in the mid-20s.

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The rookie center will miss his seventh straight game due to a right ankle sprain. Although, Sengun is expected to return to the floor on Friday versus the Sacramento Kings. The Rockets could certainly use Sengun on the court with how poorly the team has been playing lately. At this point, Sengun should be rostered in most fantasy formats. The upside is there and the Rockets are highly likely to consider moving Christian Wood before the trade deadline. Regardless, the rebuilding Rockets are expected to give their rookie center more looks during the second half of the season.
