Alperen Şengün DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun posted a third consecutive double-double in a 109-106 loss to the Golden State Warriors on Monday night, leading all scorers with 31 points and grabbing 10 rebounds. He completed his line with five assists and two steals in 42 minutes, but efficiency was once again an issue for Sengun in the game. After making 61 percent of his shots in the series opener, Sengun has been held to below 43 percent shooting in each subsequent game. He finished 12-for-28 from the field on Monday while going 7-for-10 with his free throws. The Turkish big man has led the Rockets in the postseason, averaging 22.3 points, 11.5 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and 1.8 steals. However, his efforts may not be enough for the team as Houston heads into Wednesday's Game 5 facing elimination.

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.
