Alperen Sengun posted 26 points, 7 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks and 1 three on 12-of-15 shooting with 1 turnover in 38 minutes as a starter on Monday, November 2, leading the Rockets past the Celtics 109-93.
The line generated 60.4 fantasy points and strong counting stats across the board, but Sengun was already averaging 47.1 fantasy points over his previous 5 games (22.8 points, 9.0 rebounds, 7.4 assists, 1.4 steals, 0.6 blocks and 1.2 threes in 33.7 minutes). He remains a top-35 overall player projecting 41.8 fantasy points per game, delivering value in both nine-category leagues (1.13 per-game value) and points formats as a playmaking big with 28.3% usage and 61.2% true shooting.

Alperen Sengun
Sengun's 26 points on elite 80% shooting, 10 assists against just 1 turnover and 38 minutes highlighted his dual role as a scorer and facilitator. The double-digit assists matched his season-long passing ability (7.8 assists per game over 6 games this season), while the 2 steals and 2 blocks added defensive category contributions. The 12-of-15 shooting night pushed his true shooting to 61.2% on the season, sustaining his efficiency on 28.3% usage.
Houston has no games left this week after Monday's win, but Sengun's 100% start share and 34.3 minutes per game through 6 contests leave him locked into a featured role. The consistency over his previous 5 games (47.1 fantasy points per outing with 53.2% field-goal shooting and 75.0% free-throw shooting) means Monday's performance was a strong game from an already elite producer rather than a signal to make roster moves.
What to do
• Keep Sengun rostered as a top-35 player delivering playmaking-big value in both nine-category and points leagues.
• Do not attempt to trade for him based on Monday's game alone, as his 47.1 fantasy points over his previous 5 games already reflected this level of production.
• Note that the Rockets have no games remaining this week after Monday's contest.
