SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Fred VanVleet scored 22 points, Jalen Green added 19 and the Houston Rockets beat the Sacramento Kings 112-104. The Rockets may have lost leading scorer Alperen Sengun to a right knee and ankle injury when he landed awkwardly while challenging a shot by the Kings' Domantas Sabonis with under a minute to play in the fourth. Sengun appeared to be in immediate distress and he left the court in a wheelchair after several minutes on the baseline, with his hands covering his face. The 21-year-old Sengun had 14 points prior to the injury. The Rockets have won four of five as they look to make a push toward a spot in the play-in tournament. Houston is now 4 1/2 games back of the 10th seed in the Western Conference. Sabonis led the Kings with 25 points and 15 rebounds.
