Alperen Sengun (illness) sidelined Monday for Rockets' second leg
Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (illness) is out Monday versus the Golden State Warriors.
What It Means:
Sengun is sitting out for the second leg of Houston's back-to-back. He logged 31 minutes on Sunday versus the New Orleans Pelicans and produced 9 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block. There will be more minutes available in the frontcourt for Tari Eason, Usman Garuba, and Kenyon Martin Jr. on Monday. Boban Marjanovic could also be involved in the rotation.
Eason has a $5,000 salary on Monday’s six-game slate and numberFire's models project him for 33.7 FanDuel points, which currently makes him our top point-per-dollar value of the day. Per numberFire's NBA Heat Map, the Rockets’ implied total (112.25) is No. 9 on the board and the game total (235.5) is the second-highest.
