Sengun recorded 21 points (8-25 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, five assists, two blocks and two steals in 34 minutes during Saturday's 107-97 loss to the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Sengun logged his fifth double-double of the season, which is impressive considering Anthony Davis' massive total. The 2021 first-round pick is Houston's most consistent producer and is one of the most underrated big men in the league, but he needs more from his supporting cast to keep Houston competitive.

Sengun had 22 points (10-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 134-124 loss to the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Sengun had the daunting task of dealing with Nikola Jokic, and while the Serbian star finished with a triple-double as Denver secured the victory, Sengun made his presence felt as well with contributions on both ends of the court. The young center is one of the most versatile big men in the league, and the numbers back that up, as Sengun is averaging 23.0 points, 10.2 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.2 blocks per game over his last six outings.

Sengun totaled 31 points (10-19 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 11-14 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and one block over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 121-115 loss to the Mavericks.
EDGE Analysis
There's no longer any doubt that Sengun is the focal point of Houston's offense. Over his last eight games, Sengun averaged 23.3 points, 9.8 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 1.3 blocks. He does have some flaws in category leagues due to high turnovers and a below-average free-throw percentage, but it's hard to complain about his recent production.

Sengun supplied 30 points (13-23 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-5 FT), 13 rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 37 minutes during Monday's 121-116 loss to the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Despite the loss, Sengun turned in his best scoring performance of the season and notched his second-highest rebound total. Although the Rockets have lost three straight games, they came out of the gate hot, and Sengun's excellent play should help keep them in contention as the season progresses.

Sengun (back) will play Monday against the Warriors, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sengun was a true game-time call leading up to Monday's tipoff, but he's been given the green light after successfully making it through pregame warmups. He's coming off his second double-double of the season in which he dropped 23 points and added 10 boards, five assists and one block in 31 minutes Sunday against the Lakers.

Sengun (back) remains listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Warriors and is shaping up as a game-time decision ahead of the 10 p.m. ET opening tip, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sengun is at risk of missing his first game of the season due to a lower back contusion. He took part in a pregame workout, and the Rockets will presumably provide an update on his status shortly before opening tip. If Sengun is sidelined Monday, Jabari Smith could end up getting some more run at center, and frontcourt reserves Jock Landale and Jeff Green could also be in store for more minutes than usual.

Sengun is questionable for Monday's matchup against Golden State due to a lower back contusion.
EDGE Analysis
Sengun posted 23 points, 10 rebounds, five assists and a block during Sunday's loss to the Lakers, but he's in danger of missing the second half of a back-to-back set. This is the Rockets' first back-to-back of the season, so it's possible they are simply exercising caution with their talented big man. If Sengun is ruled out, Jock Landale and Jeff Green would be candidates to join the starting lineup.

Sengun provided 23 points (11-16 FG, 1-2 3Pt), 10 rebounds, five assists and one block across 31 minutes during Sunday's 105-104 loss to the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Sengun had a tough task dealing with Anthony Davis, but he still posted a solid fantasy stat line and recorded his second double-double of the year. Even though the double-doubles are not as consistent as last season, it's worth noting that he has scored in double figures while grabbing at least seven rebounds in all but one contest in 2023-24. Sengun is averaging 20.4 points and 8.1 rebounds per game in November.

Sengun closed with 23 points (8-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-7 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Friday's 106-100 loss to the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Sengun moved past an ankle injury late last week and hasn't appeared to have any limitations over three appearances since then. He's been a consistent presence for the Rockets during that time, averaging 23.3 points, 8.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.3 steals in 34.3 minutes per game. The 21-year-old should continue to handle a significant role now that he's healthy.

Sengun (ankle) is good to go for Friday's game against the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
Sengun warmed up a little earlier than he usually does to properly test his ankle, so we can assume that the injury responded well. He's coming off an impressive showing against the Lakers on Wednesday in which he had 19 points, seven rebounds and four assists in only 25 minutes.
