Capela finished with nine points (4-7 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, one block and one steal in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 129-93 loss to Denver.
Capela saw at least 20 minutes for just the second time in his past 30 games, closing the game in place of Alperen Sengun, who was simply played off the court. It was another brutal loss for the Rockets, continuing what has been a sustained period of indifferent performances. As for Capela, his role as the backup, while solidified, is mostly out of necessity and yields little to no fantasy value.

Rockets' Clint Capela: Minimal impact in win
Rotowire
Capela finished Monday's 123-118 victory over the Wizards with four points (1-3 FG, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and one assist over 11 minutes.
Capela continues to do the bare minimum with his time on the floor, averaging just 3.3 points and 4.1 rebounds in 12.0 minutes per game in seven appearances over the past two weeks. Houston is very thin when it comes to the center spot, as Capela struggling to hold his own, even against the opposition's second unit.

Rockets' Clint Capela: Another quiet effort
Rotowire
Capela contributed two points (1-3 FG), three rebounds and one assist over 10 minutes during Monday's 125-105 victory over the Jazz.
With Steven Adams (ankle) done for the year, Capela should continue to share the backup center spot with Dorian Finney-Smith based on matchup. Capela has been held scoreless in three of his last six games, offering him little fantasy relevance in this role.

Rockets' Clint Capela: Blocks four shots in loss
Rotowire
Capela posted three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and four blocks across 16 minutes during Wednesday's 105-102 loss to the Clippers.
Capela salvaged another poor performance by matching his season-high with four blocks. Despite assuming the primary backup role behind Alperen Sengun, Capela's time as a fantasy-relevant player has certainly come and gone. At best, managers can utilize him for streaming purposes, if and when blocks are at the top of the priority list.
Capela registered four points (1-5 FG, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block over 11 minutes during Monday's 118-114 victory over the Pacers.
Capela logged fewer than 15 minutes for the fourth time in the past five games, continuing to play a limited role despite the season-ending injury to Steven Adams (ankle). Now 32 years of age, it appears as though Capela's ability to impact the game on a consistent basis has come to an end. At best, managers should view him as a possible rebound streamer, if and when Houston is matched up against a sizeable opponent.

Rockets' Clint Capela: Sticks in rotation Saturday
Rotowire
Capela ended Saturday's 111-107 victory over the Mavericks with six points (3-6 FG), four rebounds, one assist and one steal over 13 minutes.
Capela remained in the rotation, serving as a backup center option behind Alperen Sengun. With Steven Adams out for the remainder of the season due to an ankle injury, Capela is likely to feature on most nights, albeit in a sporadic role. Despite the opportunity, he should be viewed as nothing more than a potential streaming option for anyone needing rebounds and blocks.

Rockets' Clint Capela: Fares well off bench
Rotowire
Capela produced 10 points (4-4 FG, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 18 minutes during Thursday's 104-86 victory over the Hawks.
Capela was a bright spot against his former team. Although he's been used sparingly by Houston this season, he does have an opportunity to carve out a larger role with Steven Adams (ankle) out for the season. The veteran center logged single-digit minutes in his previous two contests, so fantasy managers will need to see consistent workloads before adding him in most cases.

Rockets' Clint Capela: Logs 12 minutes in win
Rotowire
Capela finished with six points (2-3 FG, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one block across 12 minutes during Tuesday's 111-106 victory over the Spurs.
Steven Adams recently suffered a Grade 3 left ankle sprain and will be out indefinitely, creating an opportunity for Capela to see more minutes off the bench. But if Tuesday was any indication, the Rockets could also lean heavily on some small-ball lineups. For now, Capela is only worth monitoring in deeper formats.

Rockets' Clint Capela: Non-factor in win
Rotowire
Capela had two points (1-1 FG) and two rebounds across five minutes during Tuesday's 119-113 victory over the Bulls.
With Steven Adams and Alperen Sengun now healthy, Capela's role has disappeared, having played no more than 12 minutes in four straight games. He is the clear third option at this point, meaning he can be safely ignored in just about every fantasy format.
Capela registered two points (1-2 FG) and one rebound over nine minutes during Monday's 100-97 victory over Phoenix.
Coming off his best game of the season, Capela failed to produce anything of note, logging just nine minutes. Despite the absence of Alperen Sengun (ankle), it was Steven Adams and Jabari Smith who saw the majority of the center minutes. While this was obviously a disappointing performance, managers will want to keep a close eye on things for at least the next two weeks. Sengun is likely to miss at least that amount of time and if Adams' health continues to be an issue, Capela could still have some limited streaming appeal.

Rockets' Clint Capela: Seven defensive stats
Rotowire
Capela recorded eight points (4-8 FG, 0-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, two blocks and five steals across 27 minutes during Saturday's 110-104 loss to Dallas.
Capela had easily his best two-way performance of the season, taking advantage of the fact that Alperen Sengun left early due to an ankle injury. With Steven Adams (ankle) also unavailable, Capela is basically the last man standing when it comes to the center position. If both Sengun and Adams are to miss more time, Capela would become a viable target, even in standard leagues.

Rockets' Clint Capela: Removed from injury report
Rotowire
Capela (illness) is off the injury report for Saturday's game against Dallas.
After sitting out Thursday's win over Brooklyn with an illness, Capela is set to be available for Saturday's contest. With Steven Adams (ankle) questionable to face the Mavericks, the Rockets could need Capela to assume the backup role at center behind Alperen Sengun. Over his last eight contests, Capela has averaged 3.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 0.4 assists in 8.9 minutes per game.

Rockets' Clint Capela: Out with illness
Rotowire
Capela (illness) is out for Thursday's game against the Nets, Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today reports.
The veteran center can be labeled day-to-day ahead of Saturday's showdown with the Mavericks. Alperen Sengun's (foot) status takes on even greater importance Thursday, with Steven Adams (ankle) already ruled out as well.

Rockets' Clint Capela: Iffy for Thursday
Rotowire
Capela is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Brooklyn due to illness.
Capela is at risk of missing Thursday's contest due to illness. He's one of three Rockets' centers on the injury report, as Steven Adams (ankle) and Alperen Sengun (foot) are also listed as questionable. Sengun has missed the last two games, and Capela has played 18 and 13 minutes, respectively, as a result.

Rockets' Clint Capela: Grabs seven boards
Rotowire
Capela registered six points (3-4 FG, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds and one assist in 13 minutes during Monday's 126-119 victory over Indiana.
Capela continues to play limited minutes, despite the fact Alperen Sengun remains out due to a calf injury. Although Capela's best is now behind him, an ankle injury to Steven Adams during Monday's game could potentially open up even more playing time for the veteran. If both Adams and Sengun are ruled out for Thursday's game against the Nets, Capela could have some limited streaming appeal for fantasy managers in need of a boost in rebounds and blocks.

Rockets' Clint Capela: Sees 12 minutes
Rotowire
Capela logged two points (1-4 FG), six rebounds and one assist in 12 minutes during Sunday's 125-124 overtime loss to the Kings.
With Steven Adams resting, Capela picked up a handful of minutes Sunday. He saw seven or fewer minutes in his previous three contests, and he remains miles off the fantasy radar.
