Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (back) won't play on Wednesday against the Clippers. Houston will enter the postseason as the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference. As a result, Sengun, Dillon Brooks (rest), Jabari Smith Jr. (groin), Fred VanVleet (ankle), and Amen Thompson (rest) will get the night off. Jalen Green and Tari Eason are good to go, so it's logical to assume they'll carry the load offensively. But as far as the center spot is concerned, Steven Adams, averaging 10.0 points, 9.7 rebounds, 1.3 blocks, and 1.3 steals in three starts this season, is worth considering for DFS lineups.
Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (back) is considered questionable for Wednesday's clash against the Los Angeles Clippers. The big man from Turkey is dealing with soreness in his lower back and might be absent from the lineup for only the fifth time this season. Steven Adams and Jock Landale are likely to see increased usage if Sengun is ruled out for the game. Jabari Smith Jr. (groin) can also fill minutes at center, but he isn't at 100 percent either and has joined Sengun on the injury report with a questionable designation.
Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (back) will not play in Monday's matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He is battling back soreness, and the team has downgraded Sengun from questionable to out. At the same time, Steven Adams (ankle) has been upgraded to available, so he will help to fill the void left by Sengun's absence, along with Jock Landale, who has been named a starter for the contest. Jabari Smith Jr. will likely also help to fill some of the minutes at center.
Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (back) is dealing with some lower-back soreness, which caused the team to list him as questionable for Monday's matchup with the Oklahoma City Thunder. He just posted 30 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, and one block across 37 minutes against the Sacramento Kings on Saturday, so the big man may have experienced some post-game issues if it has lingered into Monday. If he's unable to play, Steven Adams (ankle) is also considered questionable, so that would leave Jabari Smith Jr. and Jock Landale as the next two up. Both could be considered for a one-game streaming option, especially for fantasy managers in need of some big-man stats.
Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (back) will play on Wednesday against the Phoenix Suns. Troubled by back spasms, Sengun logged only three minutes on Sunday against the Toronto Raptors, and the team initially listed him as questionable for Wednesday's matchup. On Saturday against the Dallas Mavericks, Sengun recorded his fourth 30-point game of the season, and his recent performances include a 20-20 outing, showing that the Turkish big man has been in good form overall lately.
Alperen Sengun Listed As Questionable For Wednesday
Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (back) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The versatile big man was limited to only three minutes due to back spasms against the Toronto Raptors on Sunday. He is reportedly feeling better and will test out his back on Wednesday to decide if he can play against the Suns. Sengun also missed some time at the beginning of the month, with Steven Adams stepping in for him in the starting lineup. Adams averaged 11.0 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks as a starter. Jock Landale and Jeff Green might get a little more playing time as well if Sengun is unable to play on Wednesday night.
Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (calf) will be back in action against the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday. After missing three games due to a calf contusion, Sengun received a probable designation on the injury report earlier today and has now officially been cleared for action. The Turkish big man returns in a favorable matchup, as Brooklyn allows the eighth-most fantasy points per game to opposing centers. With Fred VanVleet (ankle) out of the lineup, Sengun may even have a bit more offensive duties.
Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the New York Knicks. The versatile big man has been downgraded from questionable to out as a left calf contusion continues to keep Sengun off the court. With Fred VanVleet (ankle) also sidelined, the Rockets will be without two starters. Tari Eason and Jae'Sean Tate will be promoted to the first unit. This gives both players additional fantasy value. Eason is the better fantasy target, as he's averaging 11.2 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 1.9 steals for the season.
Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (calf) is questionable for Monday's game in New York. Sengun was recently named an All-Star, with the 22-year-old averaging 19.1 points, 10.4 rebounds, 5.0 assists, and 1.3 steals during the 2024-25 campaign. He's missed the last two games with a calf contusion. But if Sengun can't get on the floor against the Knicks, Steven Adams, averaging 11.0 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.5 blocks, and 1.0 steals in two starts this season, will remain a viable streaming option.
Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (calf) will miss his second straight game Saturday against the Nets. This will leave Houston without its star big man and his 19.1 points, 10.4 rebounds, and 5.0 assists per game. Steven Adams will start in his place and could be a sneaky fantasy play after posting 11 points and 10 rebounds in his last outing against the Memphis Grizzlies. Jock Landale is also expected to see increased minutes as the backup.
