Alperen Sengun (illness) uncertain Monday for Houston
Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (illness) is questionable for Monday versus the Golden State Warriors.
What It Means:
Sengun could be held out for the second leg of Houston's back-to-back. He logged 31 minutes on Sunday versus the New Orleans Pelicans and produced 9 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block. There will be more minutes available in the frontcourt for Usman Garuba, Tari Eason, and Kenyon Martin Jr. if Sengun is sidelined. Boban Marjanovic could also be involved in the rotation.
Sengun has a $7,500 salary on Monday’s six-game slate and numberFire's models project him for 35.5 FanDuel points over 32.5 minutes. Per numberFire's NBA Heat Map, the Rockets’ implied total (112.5) is the fourth-lowest on Monday's six-game slate, but the game total (236.0) is the second-highest.
