HOU • Center • #15

Capela did not play in Thursday’s win over the Nets, leaving Houston with only Alperen Şengün available at the center position. If Steven Adams remains out, Capela will likely slot in as the backup, but that is not enough to make him a viable fantasy option.

The Rockets will be without at least two centers for Thursday’s game, as Capela and Steven Adams (ankle) are out. Alperen Şengün (calf) is a game-time decision. If he’s unable to go, Houston may be forced to slide Jabari Smith Jr. into the center position.

Capela joins Alperen Şengün (calf) and Steven Adams (ankle) as questionable for this game. Şengün has missed the last two, while Adams exited early from Monday’s game. Capela will have upside as a streamer if both Şengün and Adams are sidelined.

With Steven Adams already out, the Rockets will also be without Alperen Şengün on Saturday. As a result, Capela moves into the starting lineup and is worth a look in deep leagues out of necessity. The other four starters are unchanged.

After five seasons in Atlanta, Capela returns to the city where he played his first six NBA seasons. A starter in 41 of the 55 games he played last season, the veteran center averaged 8.9 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.0 blocks in 21.4 minutes. With Alperen Sengun locked in as Houston’s starting center and Steven Adams also on the roster, Capela’s opportunities with the Rockets may not be enough to make him a factor in fantasy basketball.

With Jalen Johnson and Onyeka Okongwu set to man the starting frontcourt positions in Atlanta, Capela is likely to look for a new team. The Lakers’ Achilles heel is the team’s lack of depth at center, and Capela could provide a strong presence down low. If he signs with LA, expect Capela to supplant Jaxson Hayes as the starter or at the very least split playing time with him.

Okongwu has missed four straight games due to personal reasons, but he will presumably miss the rest of the season with a ligament injury in the fourth metacarpal of his left hand. Capela’s minutes as backup center will likely be absorbed primarily by Dominick Barlow, though Barlow is not a recommended streaming option for fantasy hoops managers.

Sunday’s game will be the third straight Capela has missed for personal reasons. While his absence has freed up rotation minutes for Dominick Barlow, this has not impacted fantasy basketball. Leave Barlow on the waiver wire.

Initially questionable for Friday’s game, Capela will miss a second straight contest for personal reasons. Dominick Barlow moved into the backup center role on Wednesday and should do so again on Friday. However, he’s unlikely to get the minutes needed to be fantasy-relevant.

Capela missed Wednesday’s game against Charlotte, and Dominick Barlow filled out the backup center minutes in that game. Barlow would likely fill the role again if Capela remains out, though he only played 18 minutes in that role. With Onyeka Okongwu healthy, Barlow won’t be worth streaming regardless of Capela’s status.
