Sengun posted a huge line Friday, but he was already producing top-25 fantasy value before this game and remains a strong hold in all formats.

Alperen Sengun scored 43 points on 17-of-24 shooting with 12 rebounds, five assists, one steal, one block, one three and one turnover across 37 minutes as a starter in Houston's 125-118 win over Utah on Friday, November 13.

The massive line stands well above his previous 10 games (21.1 points, 9.4 rebounds, 7.9 assists, 51.9% shooting), but Sengun was already producing 47.8 fantasy points per game over that span. He ranks 22nd in nine-category value and projects for 43.1 fantasy points per game, so his standing was strong before this performance. He remains a hold across all formats.

Alperen Sengun

Sengun's 43 points came on 70.8% from the floor and 66.7% from the line with one turnover. He added useful counting stats across the board and played 37 minutes as Houston's starting centre. His 26.2% usage rate and 58.7% true shooting support his all-around production, and he has started every game this season whilst averaging 35.1 minutes.

The Rockets have one game left this week, Friday against Utah. Sengun has averaged 23.1 points, 9.6 rebounds and 7.6 assists per game through 11 contests, and Friday's performance does not change his role or expected output going forward. He is a top-25 fantasy asset in nine-category leagues and a strong source of fantasy points, but managers who roster him already knew that before this game.

What to do

• Hold Sengun in all formats as a top-25 fantasy asset.

• Start him Friday in Houston's final game this week.

• Do not expect 43-point nights regularly, but his baseline production (21.1 points, 9.4 rebounds, 7.9 assists over his previous 10 games) makes him a reliable contributor.
