Alperen Sengun returned from a three-game absence and delivered a dominant performance in 35 minutes on Tuesday. He tallied 24 points, 20 rebounds, and four assists, leading all players in scoring and rebounding while knocking down clutch free throws late in the game. With less than 50 seconds remaining, Ziaire Williams’ three-pointer briefly cut Houston’s lead to one, prompting Sengun to hit all four of his free throws over the final 30 seconds to extend the advantage. Unfortunately, Brooklyn’s rapid surge—scoring six points in five seconds—turned a four-point deficit into a two-point loss.
Fantasy Impact:
Sengun’s first career 20-20 game, with his 20 rebounds marking the second-highest total of his career, underscores his growing value on both ends of the floor. Despite the loss being sealed in dramatic fashion, his ability to control the glass and score in clutch moments makes him an intriguing multi-category asset in fantasy leagues. Managers should monitor his continued progress after his recent absence, as his emerging consistency could translate into solid long-term value.
