Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Soars with 23/15 double-double
Rotowire
Sengun registered 23 points (10-19 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-5 FT), 15 rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals across 31 minutes during Saturday's 125-103 win over the Trail Blazers.
Although Sengun endured a brief slump a couple of weeks ago, he's hit the double-double milestone in four of his last six games and came tantalizingly close to the mark in the other two contests. Sengun faced little opposition against the Trail Blazers, who were without Deandre Ayton's (back) services.

The Rockets lost a high-scoring affair Friday, but Sengun had an impressive stat line en route to his third double-double across his last five appearances. He's notched 22 double-doubles and three triple-doubles this season, and he's firmly entrenched as one of the best big men in the Western Conference, particularly from a fantasy perspective, due to his impressive ability to rack up stats left and right.

Sengun put up 20 points (9-21 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists and two steals in 26 minutes during the 128-108 victory over the Nuggets on Wednesday.
If it feels like Sengun is on triple-double watch regularly, it's because he is. Although he's only hit the mark once this year, he's constantly hovering around it, and Wednesday was no different. The big man came just one board and two assists shy of a triple-double, but along with his pair of steals, the line still made for a solid fantasy night. He'll remain a premier fantasy option, particularly in category leagues, as he looks to stay on track Thursday against the Kings.
