Houston Rockets center
Alperen Sengun (back) won't play on Wednesday against the Clippers. Houston will enter the postseason as the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference. As a result, Sengun,
Dillon Brooks (rest),
Jabari Smith Jr. (groin),
Fred VanVleet (ankle), and
Amen Thompson (rest) will get the night off.
Jalen Green and
Tari Eason are good to go, so it's logical to assume they'll carry the load offensively. But as far as the center spot is concerned,
Steven Adams, averaging 10.0 points, 9.7 rebounds, 1.3 blocks, and 1.3 steals in three starts this season, is worth considering for DFS lineups.

Houston Rockets center
Alperen Sengun (back) is considered questionable for Wednesday's clash against the Los Angeles Clippers. The big man from Turkey is dealing with soreness in his lower back and might be absent from the lineup for only the fifth time this season.
Steven Adams and
Jock Landale are likely to see increased usage if Sengun is ruled out for the game.
Jabari Smith Jr. (groin) can also fill minutes at center, but he isn't at 100 percent either and has joined Sengun on the injury report with a questionable designation.

Houston Rockets center
Alperen Sengun (back) will not play in Monday's matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He is battling back soreness, and the team has downgraded Sengun from questionable to out. At the same time,
Steven Adams (ankle) has been upgraded to available, so he will help to fill the void left by Sengun's absence, along with
Jock Landale, who has been named a starter for the contest.
Jabari Smith Jr. will likely also help to fill some of the minutes at center.

Houston Rockets center
Alperen Sengun (back) is dealing with some lower-back soreness, which caused the team to list him as questionable for Monday's matchup with the Oklahoma City Thunder. He just posted 30 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, and one block across 37 minutes against the Sacramento Kings on Saturday, so the big man may have experienced some post-game issues if it has lingered into Monday. If he's unable to play,
Steven Adams (ankle) is also considered questionable, so that would leave
Jabari Smith Jr. and
Jock Landale as the next two up. Both could be considered for a one-game streaming option, especially for fantasy managers in need of some big-man stats.
