2 seed in the Western Confrence.

Given his stature and role at the offensive end, Sengun is also someone Houston can't necessarily afford to lose.

Lately, Sengun's availability has been a bit of a mystery.

The 6-foot-10 center missed Houston's last game due to personal reasons, and he's questionable for Friday night against the Lakers, again for personal reasons.

Sengun is averaging 19.2 points, 10.4 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.1 steals per game this season.
