Sengun finished Sunday’s defeat with his fifth double-double in seven games, grabbing nine rebounds in the two exceptions. Sengun’s efficiency in Game 7 wasn’t up to standard, but the Warriors did an excellent job of making him work for his looks outside of Game 1 (11-of-18 FGs). Result aside, this was a promising first playoff series for Sengun. From a fantasy standpoint, he did not reach his Yahoo! ADP (27) in eight- or nine-cat formats this season. However, the skill set is such that Sengun will not slip outside the first 50 picks in fantasy drafts next fall.

Sengun recorded his fourth double-double in six games on Friday, helping the Rockets force a decisive Game 7 on Sunday afternoon. While the sledding has not been easy for the young center playing against a smaller Warriors lineup, Sengun has more than held his own in this series. The Rockets will need a similar effort from him to defend their home court and eliminate the Warriors on Sunday.

After dominating as a scorer in Game 4, Sengun didn’t have the same success in Game 5, mostly because he didn’t need to. He only took nine shots but impacted the game in other ways. He nearly recorded a triple-double and was able to make contributions on the defensive end. Heading back to Golden State for Game 6 on Friday, Sengun may have to take on a larger scoring role to help Houston keep its season alive.

After struggling in Saturday’s Game 3 loss, Sengun bounced back with a dominant performance in this game. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to even the series. Sengun had an opportunity to give Houston a late lead, but his shot over Draymond Green was off. Still, it was an impressive showing from Sengun, and he led all scorers in this game. The Rockets now trail 3-1 in the series, but they will head home for Game 5 on Wednesday with an opportunity to regroup and keep their season alive in front of their home crowd.
