Alperen Sengun posted 29 points, nine rebounds, nine assists, six steals, one block and one three on 11-of-15 shooting and 6-of-8 from the line in 37 minutes as a starter in Houston's 120-110 victory over Atlanta on Monday, October 26. He added six turnovers.

The line was worth 68.3 fantasy points, well above his 43.6 projection, and boosted his category coverage with rare defensive numbers. Nine-category managers benefit from the steals and balanced production across points, rebounds and assists, while points-league rosters enjoy the scoring efficiency at 62.8 per cent true shooting and high-volume night.

Alperen Sengun

Sengun's six steals in Monday's game pushed his season average to 1.8 in four games, though over last season (72 games) he managed just 1.2 a night. His usage sits at 28.5 per cent this season, and the 37 minutes were four above his 33.9 average through the early slate. The 11-of-15 shooting night continued his strong efficiency, and the nine assists brought him one shy of his second triple-double.

Season to date, Sengun is averaging 24.5 points, 9.0 rebounds and 7.0 assists in 33.9 minutes a game across four contests. Last season he posted 20.4 points, 8.9 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 1.2 steals, 1.1 blocks and 0.6 threes in 33.3 minutes over 72 games, producing 43.9 fantasy points a night. Houston has one game left this week, on Monday.

What to do

• Keep Sengun in all lineups, as he remains a top-35 asset with elite rebounding, assists and efficiency from the centre spot.

• Monitor whether the defensive numbers hold, though his 1.2 steals last season suggest the six-steal night was an outlier.

• Expect strong nine-category value from his balanced production and low turnovers relative to usage, with points leagues rewarding the scoring volume.
