Alperen Sengun

Few big men in the league read the floor quite like Alperen Sengun, whose passing instincts out of the post make him a nightmare to scheme against. With the Rockets firmly in control of a Western Conference seeding race battle, Sengun keeps the offense humming against the Pelicans, finding a teammate with a precise look that extends the Houston advantage. He threads the pass through the defense with the same poise that defined a 36-point, 13-rebound night. Houston rolls to a 134-102 victory, moving into a tie for fifth in the West.
