Hits game-winning layup
Sengun finished with 24 points (10-19 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and two blocks in 37 minutes during Sunday's 117-116 victory over Golden State.
Analyse
Sengun gave the Rockets the lead for good with a driving layup in the final seconds. Although the big man is getting a lot of help from Jabari Smith, Sengun continues to post fantasy-worthy totals on a squad that has no shortage of fantasy production. Most recently, Sengun's assist totals have been a hallmark of his game. He's averaged a surprising 6.9 assists over the past 11 games.

Efficient in win over Utah
Sengun had 19 points (8-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-6 FT), four rebounds and five assists across 28 minutes during Friday's 140-106 win over the Jazz.
Analyse
Sengun was limited to just 28 minutes in a blowout win over the Jazz, but he was pretty efficient with his shot and also delivered a decent, albeit unspectacular, stat line. Sengun has failed to score at least 20 points in three of his last five appearances. While he continues to play regularly, his numbers have been trending in the wrong direction of late, although that has largely been because he's not playing much in blowout games with the Rockets having already secured a playoff berth.

Comes close to double-double
Sengun closed with 25 points (9-13 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 119-113 win over Milwaukee.
Analyse
Sengun briefly left Wednesday's game in the fourth quarter but returned quickly and was remarkably efficient. He delivered one of his best performances of the season in terms of his shooting numbers, but he also ended just one board shy of a double-double while filling the stat sheet. Sengun has been putting up excellent numbers since returning from a two-game absence in mid-March due to a back injury, averaging 23.6 points, 8.8 rebounds, 7.1 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks per game over his last nine appearances.

Exits to locker room
Sengun exited to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Wednesday's game against the Bucks due to an apparent lower-back issue, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
Analyse
Sengun appeared to tweak his lower back before exiting to the locker room with 8:33 remaining in the final quarter. The star big man can be considered questionable to return until more information comes to light.
