Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Posts third double-double of season
Rotowire
Sengun finished with 26 points (12-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, 10 assists, two blocks and two steals across 38 minutes during Monday's 109-93 win over Boston.
Sengun recorded his first points-assists double-double while shooting a red-hot 80 percent from the field on 15 attempts. The scoring and dimes were both game highs, and he notched his first outing with multiple steals and blocks. Sengun turned it over just once, too, a season-low for the big man. He now has nine or more assists in three consecutive games, and he'll continue providing all-around fantasy production for the 6-1 Rockets.

Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Double-double in win over Hawks
Rotowire
Sengun had 17 points (6-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Saturday's 121-114 win over Atlanta.
The double-double was the second in three games for Sengun to begin the season. The 24-year-old center hasn't made much of a defensive impact yet, but he may be adding some long-range shooting to his portfolio, as Sengun is averaging 23.0 points, 9.0 boards, 6.3 assists and 1.7 threes so far.
Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Flirts with triple-double in win
Rotowire
Sengun logged 29 points (10-20 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and one block over 36 minutes during Friday's 114-110 win over the Spurs.
Sengun dominated the fourth quarter of Friday's game to deliver the win for Houston, and he even chipped in some defensive stats after failing to do so in the opener. It's early, but Sengun has gone 10-for-12 at the charity stripe through two games, and if the big man can find his form at the line, he could easily be a top-20 player in fantasy leagues.

Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Double-doubles in victory
Rotowire
Sengun totaled 23 points (9-15 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds and five assists in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 128-110 victory over the Mavericks.
Sengun turned in an efficient shooting performance in Wednesday's season-opening win, finishing as Houston's third-leading scorer. The big man also tied for the team lead in rebounds and was second on the Rockets in assists. He grabbed at his lower back after drawing a charge and briefly headed toward the locker room in the third quarter, though he returned to the court shortly thereafter. Still, his status will be worth monitoring ahead of Friday's game versus San Antonio.

Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Set for action
Rotowire
Sengun (rest) is set to play in Thursday's preseason finale against the Thunder, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
Sengun appears to be active for a dress rehearsal for the Rockets. Houston's starters are expected to see about a half of action Thursday.
Sengun (rest) isn't expected to play in Sunday's preseason game against the Mavericks, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
Sengun recorded 16 points (6-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 10 rebounds, 10 assists, one steal and three blocks in 22 minutes during Friday's 135-117 preseason win over Dallas but will take a seat Sunday. Sengun is coming off another impressive year, averaging 20.4 points, 8.9 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.1 blocks in 33.3 minutes per game across 72 regular-season appearances in 2025-26. However, the star center shot just 69.1 percent from the charity stripe and 30.5 percent from downtown. He's been focused on improving in those areas this offseason, and an uptick in efficiency would be a significant step toward becoming a more well-rounded player.

The 24-year-old center demonstrated his ability to contribute across multiple categories, particularly as a facilitator and rim protector. Sengun should remain one of Houston's primary offensive contributors alongside Kevin Durant heading into the 2026-27 regular season.
