Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Posts 18-8-9-2-2 line in win
Rotowire
Sengun notched 18 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-8 FT), eight rebounds, nine assists, two steals, two blocks and two turnovers in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 139-121 win over the Raptors.
In Sengun's first four NBA seasons, he shot just 70.1 percent at the charity stripe, which was a major negative to his overall fantasy value. However, this season he's been converting 79.4 percent of his freebies on a career-high 8.5 attempts. The early-season free-throw mastery feels flukey, but if he can keep it up, he could easily work his way into the top-15 equation.

Additionally, the 23-year-old torched the nets from three-point range, knocking down a career-high five triples.
Sengun (rest) will start at power forward Tuesday against the Thunder, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network reports.
Rockets head coach Ime Udoka is going to lean on a jumbo lineup with Sengun starting next to Steven Adams. With Fred VanVleet (knee) presumably out for the season, Sengun and Amen Thompson will be responsible for most of the playmaking.

Rotowire
Sengun will rest during Thursday's preseason finale against the Hawks, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network reports.
The star big man will join the rest of Houston's starting lineup in street clothes. Sengun will prepare for Opening Night in Oklahoma City on Tuesday, and he shouldn't face any limitations.
Sengun produced 13 points (5-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 13 assists, five rebounds and four steals across 28 minutes of Wednesday's 140-127 preseason win over Utah.
Sengun racked up 13 of Houston's 32 assists Wednesday. The big man now has a total of 19 dimes through two preseason games, suggesting that a ton of offense is going to be run through him in the absence of Fred VanVleet (knee). With a strong run at EuroBasket followed by a terrific start to the preseason, Sengun's fantasy arrow is pointing up.
