Sengun produced 13 points (5-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 13 assists, five rebounds and four steals across 28 minutes of Wednesday's 140-127 preseason win over Utah.
EDGE Analysis
Sengun racked up 13 of Houston's 32 assists Wednesday. The big man now has a total of 19 dimes through two preseason games, suggesting that a ton of offense is going to be run through him in the absence of Fred VanVleet (knee). With a strong run at EuroBasket followed by a terrific start to the preseason, Sengun's fantasy arrow is pointing up.

Sengun supplied 19 points (5-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 7-7 FT), six assists, five rebounds and two blocks across 17 minutes in Monday's 122-113 preseason win over the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
Sengun led all players in scoring in an efficient performance during Houston's preseason opener. The star center also recorded team-high marks in assists and blocks. The 23-year-old is coming off his first All-Star nod in the 2024-25 campaign, during which he averaged 19.1 points, 10.3 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 1.1 steals across 31.5 minutes per game in 76 regular-season appearances.

Sengun racked up 21 points (9-23 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 14 rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 40 minutes during Sunday's 103-89 loss to the Warriors in Game 7 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
EDGE Analysis
Sengun recorded his fifth double-double of this first-round series Sunday. The one-time All-Star was one of only three players on the Rockets to score in double figures, as Amen Thompson (24) and Fred VanVleet (17) were the only other players to make an impact in the scoring department. The rising star's season ends after an impressive playoff performance over seven games, averaging 20.8 points, 11.5 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 2.0 steals per game, shooting 46.3 percent from the field.

Sengun produced 21 points (8-20 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 14 rebounds, six assists and three steals in 37 minutes during Friday's 115-107 win over the Warriors in Game 6 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
EDGE Analysis
Sengun played a pivotal role in the Game 6 win on the road. He filled up the stat sheet and impacted both ends of the floor in a must-win scenario, crashing the glass for a game-high 14 rebounds. The series will shift back to Houston on Sunday for the deciding Game 7.

Sengun totaled a game-high 31 points (12-28 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 7-10 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists and two steals over 42 minutes during Monday's 109-106 loss to the Warriors in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
EDGE Analysis
It was Sengun's best scoring performance so far this postseason, but it wasn't enough to stop a second-half comeback from Golden State. The fourth-year center is averaging 22.3 points, 11.5 boards, 4.3 assists and 1.8 steals through the first four games of the series, and Sengun may need to come up big again in Game 5 on Wednesday if the Rockets are going to avoid elimination.

Sengun amassed 15 points (7-18 FG, 1-6 FT), 11 rebounds and four assists over 33 minutes during Saturday's 104-93 loss to the Warriors in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
EDGE Analysis
Sengun finished Saturday's game as the Rockets' leading rebounder and second in points behind Fred VanVleet (17). It was Sengun's second-straight double-double, though he missed all but one of his attempts from the charity stripe. He has averaged 19.3 points, 12.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.7 steals in 35.4 minutes over the first three games of the series.

Sengun racked up 17 points (6-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 16 rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 109-94 win over the Warriors in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
EDGE Analysis
While Jalen Green carried the scoring load for Houston, Sengun dominated the glass, as no Golden State player managed more than five rebounds. The fourth-year center has had a strong start to his postseason, averaging 21.5 points, 12.5 boards, 4.0 assists, 2.5 steals and 1.0 threes through the first two games of the series, and Sengun will take plenty of momentum into Game 3 on Saturday.

Sengun amassed a team-high 26 points (11-18 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and three steals in 36 minutes during Sunday's 95-85 loss to the Warriors in Game 1 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
EDGE Analysis
While the Warriors' suffocating defense held the Rockets to 39.1 percent shooting from the floor and 20.7 percent shooting from beyond the arc, Sengun has no such troubles. The fourth-year center has scored in double digits in 10 straight appearances, averaging 20.3 points, 9.3 boards, 4.8 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.8 blocks, and Houston may need to lean on him heavily to even the series in Game 2 on Wednesday.

Sengun (personal) is not on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
The Rockets rested their regular rotation players in the last two contests, but that won't be the case Sunday, because this is the final chance the Rockets will have to log competitive minutes until the playoffs start April 19. As such, Sengun should handle his regular workload at center against a Nuggets team that needs to win Sunday by all means necessary. Sengun enters the final game of the regular season with averages of 19.2 points, 10.4 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game.

Sengun (personal) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Sengun has been downgraded from questionable to out and will miss a second straight game. It's unclear if he'll suit up for the regular-season finale against Denver on Sunday, as the Rockets already have the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference locked up. Jock Landale should see increased playing time in Sengun's absence.
