Chance to return Thursday
Sengun (calf) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Brooklyn.
Analyse
Sengun has been sidelined for the Rockets' last two games due to a strained left calf, but the fifth-year center could return to action for the start of the new year. Steven Adams (ankle) is also listed as questionable, so if the former and Sengun are unable to play against the Nets, then Clint Capela would be the top candidate to start at center for the Rockets.

Analyse

Iffy for Monday
Sengun (calf) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Pacers.

Iffy for Saturday
Sengun is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers due to left calf tightness.
