Won't play in regular-season finale
Sengun (rest) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Memphis.
Analysis
Sengun will sit out Houston's regular-season finale, but he should be able to return for the start of the postseason. The star big man will end the regular season with averages of 20.4 points, 8.9 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.1 blocks in 33.3 minutes per game across 72 appearances.

Logs 22 points in defeat
Sengun had 22 points (10-13 FG, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, eight assists and one block across 29 minutes during Friday's 136-132 loss to the Timberwolves.
Analysis
The Timberwolves bested the Rockets in rebounds by a 39-25 margin, and Sengun's lower numbers off the glass were part of the problem. The big man regressed after posting double-digit rebound totals in two consecutive games. The mini-streak was preceded by other below-average rebound totals, but Jabari Smith has helped to prop up the team's overall results. Houston's interior effectiveness could be exploited in the playoffs, so Sengun will need to be at his best in the upcoming postseason.

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.
Analysis
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.
