Sengun closed with 19 points (8-16 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-7 FT), five rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal across 34 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 121-113 loss to Memphis.
EDGE Analysis
Four different Rockets tied for the team lead with 19 points, but Sengun's lack of impact on the glass overshadowed his offense. In two contests since returning from a one-game absence due to lower-back soreness, the third-year center has managed just eight rebounds in total, a far cry from the career-high 9.2 boards he's averaging this season. Sengun should be viewed as a risky fantasy option until he demonstrates he's 100 percent.

Sengun (back) tallied 18 points (6-10 FG, 6-8 FT), six assists, three rebounds, three blocks and one steal across 36 minutes Monday in the Rockets' 105-103 win over the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
Though Sengun fell short of his season-long averages in points (21.2) and rebounds (9.2), he salvaged his night by providing his most blocks since Jan. 17 while also shining as a facilitator. Perhaps more important than his production was the fact that Sengun logged 36 minutes, an encouraging sign after he missed Saturday's loss to Atlanta with lower-back pain.

Sengun (back) will play Monday versus the Knicks, Ben DuBose of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sengun missed Saturday's contest due to lower back pain, but the 21-year-old will suit up Monday. He joins a Rockets frontcourt that will be without Tari Eason (leg) and Cam Whitmore (ankle).

Sengun (back) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
Sengun is in jeopardy of missing a second consecutive game due to lower back pain. If he is unable to go, Jeff Green and Jock Landale could see increased run.

Sengun will not play in Saturday's game in Atlanta due to lower back pain, Ben DuBose of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sengun presumably picked up the injury in the Rockets' previous loss to the Raptors. The absence will mark his first of the season. As a result, Jeff Green, Jock Landale and Boban Marjanovic are all candidates to see increased workloads at center. Sengun's next chance to play will come Monday versus the Knicks.

Sengun contributed 20 points (7-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Tuesday's 132-129 loss to the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
Sengun recorded his sixth consecutive double-double, and while he's reached that mark in all but one of his last 11 appearances, his impact on the Rockets' offensive scheme goes well beyond his contributions in points and rebounds. He's averaging 22.3 points, 9.5 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.4 steals per game since the beginning of January.

Sengun accumulated 24 points (10-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 13 rebounds and eight assists across 29 minutes during Friday's 135-106 win over the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
The third-year center likely would have come away with his fourth career triple-double had the game been closer, but the Rockets emptied their bench in the fourth quarter. Sengun has delivered four straight double-doubles and eight in the last nine games, a stretch in which he's averaging 22.2 points, 10.9 boards, 6.4 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.8 blocks while shooting 56.6 percent from the floor.

Sengun (illness) will play Friday against the Raptors, Lachard Binkley of TheDreamShake.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sengun will suit up despite battling an illness, keeping his perfect attendance streak alive. The third-year center is in the midst of a breakout campaign and has posted a double-double in eight of his last 10 appearances. During that stretch, he's averaged 21.4 points, 10.4 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.9 blocks in 33.9 minutes per game.

Sengun (illness) was present during Houston's morning shootaround, but he remains questionable for Friday's game against the Raptors, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
While Sengun was present, it's unclear how active he was during the shootaround. The third-year big man has yet to miss a game this season and has posted a double-double in eight of his last 10 appearances. During that stretch, he's averaged 21.4 points, 10.4 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.9 blocks in 33.9 minutes per game.

Sengun (illness) is questionable for Friday's tilt with Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Sengun has yet to miss a game this season, so don't be surprised if he guts it out Friday evening. We'll have a better idea on his playing status based on his activity level at shootaround, but if he is forced to the sidelines for the first time this season, his minutes would likely be divvied up among Jeff Green, Cam Whitmore and Jae'Sean Tate, with Jabari Smith spending more time at the five spot.
