Hawks' Clint Capela: Struggles in loss
Clint Capela closed with eight points (4-8 FG), seven rebounds and two assists in 22 minutes during Friday's 119-102 loss to the Lakers.Capela was squelched by Anthony Davis in the opening minutes of the first quarter. Onyeka Okongwu and Jalen Johnson were able to prop up the frontcourt effectively after Davis' opening barrage, and Capela wasn't seen again until midway through the second quarter. He fared much better against Davis at that point, but he was almost a non-factor in the second half.

Hawks' Clint Capela: Seventh double-double of season
Clint Capela finished with 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and two steals across 27 minutes during Sunday's 136-107 win over Toronto.Capela came away with his seventh double-double of the season Sunday and his first since a Dec. 11 win over the Knicks. Over his last 12 games, the veteran big man is averaging 9.8 rebounds, 7.8 points, 1.3 assists, 1.0 blocks and 0.7 steals while shooting 55.1 percent from the field. Capela is averaging his fewest points (9.6), boards (9.2) and swats (1.0) per game this season since 2015-16 when he was a part-time player with the Rockets, but he still appears to have the trust of head coach Quin Snyder as Atlanta's regular starting center despite the presence of one-time first-rounder Onyeka Okongwu off the bench.

Hawks' Clint Capela: Blocks four shots Saturday

It's been a modest season for the veteran, currently averaging 10.0 points, 9.4 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 23.0 minutes per game. The coaching staff seems intent on splitting the center minutes across Capela and Onyeka Okongwu, typically limiting the opportunities for both players.

Although his offensive game is not what it used to be, he still provides elite defensive numbers while also crashing the boards with regularity. He has recorded at least 13 rebounds in three straight games, adding a combined 11 steals and blocks. Perhaps even more impressive is the fact that he has played in every game thus far, allowing him to continue to build chemistry with some of his newer teammates.

Hawks' Clint Capela: Another double-double
Clint Capela totaled 11 points (5-12 FG, 1-4 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal in 22 minutes during Wednesday's 120-97 loss to Golden State.Capela is making the most of his minutes in recent weeks, scoring in double digits in all but one of his last six appearances while posting three double-doubles in that stretch. That said, Capela is splitting time at center with Onyeka Okongwu, and that's undoubtedly limiting his upside. The veteran big man is averaging 11.9 points and 9.1 boards per game since the beginning of November, and he'll remain valuable in most formats as long as he remains in the starting lineup. For now, that's not expected to change.

Hawks' Clint Capela: Plays just 20 minutes

Despite holding onto the starting role, his minutes have suffered in recent games, as he's played 22 or fewer minutes in four of his last five outings.

Hawks' Clint Capela: Turns back clock Saturday
Clint Capela ended Saturday's 125-113 loss to the Bulls with 20 points (8-14 FG, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one block in 26 minutes.Capela was one of the best two-way centers in the league during his prime years, and he turned the clock back a few years with this strong showing Saturday. This was the first time Capela reached the 20-point plateau this season, and he also finished just one board shy of recording what would've been his second double-double. Onyeka Okongwu could end up being the long-term answer at center for the Atlanta Hawks, but Capela will remain in the starting unit if he manages to perform at this rate on a regular basis.

Hawks' Clint Capela: Struggles massively Monday
Clint Capela produced two points (1-3 FG), five rebounds and one assist over 17 minutes during Monday's 123-93 loss to Boston.Capela had another woeful showing, and it's fair to wonder for how long he'll remain in the starting unit, as Onyeka Okongwu has outplayed Capela in almost every game this season. Capela has had a few decent performances this season but has only one double-double through eight appearances while averaging a modest 8.9 points and 6.5 rebounds across 22.5 minutes per game in a starting role.

Hawks' Clint Capela: Perfect from field Monday
Clint Capela closed Monday's 121-119 loss to Washington with 16 points (6-6 FG, 4-6 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 25 minutes.Capela had been outplayed by Onyeka Okongwu (toe) in recent games, but with the latter sidelined Monday, Capela stated his case to continue in a starting role Monday. The veteran big man displayed an efficient touch near the rim and made his mark defensively. Capela is not expected to record the numbers he used to deliver in his prime years with Houston, but he remains a serviceable fantasy option who can flirt with a double-double every time he steps on the court.
