Fri Nov 11 2022 | 09:46 | Clint Capela Posts Huge Double-Double |
Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela put together a big double-double against Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers. The 28-year-old big man registered 18 points and 20 rebounds while shooting 70% from the floor on Thursday night. Capela was never much of a scoring center, but his rebounding and blocks were the bread and butter of his fantasy appeal. So far this season, he's increased his rebounding average while his blocks stay a little above one per game. He's a good asset to have in category formats. |

Mon Jun 20 2022 | 22:08 | Timberwolves Interested In Clint Capela |
Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela has been rumored to be on the move ahead of the 2022-23 campaign. His name has already been linked to a swap for Deandre Ayton. Yet, another franchise is seemingly interested in acquiring his services, the Timberwolves. It's unknown who Minnesota would be willing to exchange. But if Capela ends up with the Timberwolves, his days as a consistent starting option are likely over, primarily with Karl-Anthony Towns expected to get plenty of work in the future. Capela, who has three years remaining on his current deal, has been a double-double threat throughout the years but has had issues staying healthy, so a demotion of sorts may be a good thing, especially if it keeps him on the floor moving ahead. Yet, fewer minutes isn't usually beneficial for fantasy managers, and it would ultimately reduce the big man's attractiveness in all formats. |

Tue Apr 26 2022 | 21:29 | Clint Capela Won't Return To Game 5 |
Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (knee) won't return to the playoff matchup against Miami on Tuesday night. After hyperextending his right knee during the play-in tournament, the big man recently returned to the lineup in Game 4. However, it appears he returned too soon, so his availability for Game 6 (if necessary) is now in jeopardy. Capella may also need to have the injury addressed during the offseason, which wouldn't be good news for a player who's battled various injuries throughout his career. Nonetheless, Onyeka Okongwu and John Collins will likely split time in the middle while Capella is out of the picture. |

Tue Apr 26 2022 | 18:41 | Clint Capela To Suit Up For Game 5 |
Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (knee) will play during Tuesday's Game 5 against the Miami Heat. He was listed as questionable coming into this game, but feels well enough to get on the court. Capela made his series debut during Game 4, but only scored two points in 21 minutes. The Hawks are hopeful to get more out of Capela during Tuesday's contest. He'll be a risky fantasy option since he didn't bring much to the table during his last game. |

Mon Apr 25 2022 | 20:44 | Clint Capela Tagged As Questionable For Game 5 |
Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Miami Heat. Capela was able to return to the starting unit on Sunday and played 21 minutes in that contest. Head coach Nate McMillan mentioned that Capela looked fine, so fantasy managers should consider him closer to probable. Otherwise, John Collins and Onyeka Okongwu would see significant playing time if Collins is unable to play. Fantasy managers should have a better idea after Tuesday's shootaround. |

Mon Apr 25 2022 | 10:41 | Clint Capela Manages Just One Bucket In His Return |
Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (knee) made his series debut in Game 4 against the Miami Heat on Sunday. He played a total of 21 minutes in the game and tied for the team-lead in rebounds with seven, but he didn't make many other contributions to the game. He shot just 1-for-4 from the field and didn't add any defensive stats. Capela suffered a right knee hyperextension during the play-in tournament, so it's not surprising to see him fail to make much of an impact in his first game back. He should play around 20 minutes in Tuesday's Game 5 as well. We'll see if he can get into more of a groove in his second game back. |

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (knee) will play on Sunday evening against Miami. The 27-year-old hasn't been available since hyperextending his right knee during the play-in tournament. Nonetheless, it's likely Capela won't see his usual workload, although he should see the floor enough to take Onyeka Okongwu out of DFS consideration in all formats. |

Sat Apr 23 2022 | 23:47 | Clint Capela May Play In Game 4 |
Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (knee) has a chance at suiting up for the playoff bout versus Miami. Capela hasn't played yet during the series after hyperextending his right knee during the play-in tournament. However, fantasy managers shouldn't get too excited if the big man is out there on Sunday, primarily since he may not see his usual allotment of minutes. Yet, even with a limited workload, Capela's presence could still impact Onyeka Okongwu, who has averaged 5.7 boards, 4.7 points, and 1.0 blocks throughout the postseason. Nonetheless, if Capela is ruled out again, Okongwu should be considered a high-risk value option in DFS tournament formats. |

Fri Apr 22 2022 | 17:00 | Clint Capela Ruled Out For Friday's Game |
Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. Capela has yet to play in the team's opening round series as he's been hampered by a hyperextended right knee. He has resumed his strength exercises, but still needs some time before getting back on the court. We'll see John Collins take on the center role for the team once again in Game 3 on Friday as the Hawks look to shift the momentum of the series on their home court. |

Tue Apr 19 2022 | 10:24 | Clint Capela Could Be Available On Friday |
Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (knee) won't suit up for Tuesday's Game 2 matchup against the Miami Heat. However, the big man has resumed his strength exercises and will be re-evaluated on Friday. This means, Capela could be nearing a return and possibly play in Game 3. That would certainly be a huge boost to the Hawks roster, but fantasy managers will have to be patient until Friday. Onyeka Okongwu would likely head back to the bench and see a reduced role, assuming Capela does return. |

Mon Apr 18 2022 | 19:51 | Clint Capela To Sit Out Game 2 |
Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's Game 2 contest against the Miami Heat. He missed both the play-in game and the first game of this series due to a right knee issue. Onyeka Okongwu and John Collins will be asked to soak up a majority of the minutes at center. Gorgui Dieng should get extended minutes as well, but isn't much of a fantasy option. Capela is currently without a timetable, so he could end up missing a majority of this series. |

Sat Apr 16 2022 | 22:56 | Clint Capela To Be Reevaluated In A Week |
Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (knee) underwent an MRI on Saturday. The results were encouraging, revealing no structural damage to his right knee, which he injured on Friday night during the play-in win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Yet, DFS managers shouldn't expect him to be in the lineup throughout the first-round postseason meeting against the Miami Heat. The big man will be reexamined in one week to see where he's at in the recovery process. However, until Capela can make it back, Onyeka Okongwu will likely take his place in the lineup, with the 21-year-old averaging 10.5 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 2.2 blocks across six starts during the regular season. |

Sat Apr 16 2022 | 12:42 | Clint Capela May Have Avoided Serious Injury |
Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (knee) may have avoided serious damage to his right knee, which he injured during Friday's play-in win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. The team remains "optimistic" that the 27-year-old won't be sidelined for an extended period, although he will undergo an MRI on Saturday to determine the severity of the ailment. With Game 1 of the postseason meeting between Atlanta and Miami beginning on Easter Sunday, there's still a good chance Capella won't be out there, meaning Onyeka Okongwu should get plenty of minutes at the five, making him an attractive DFS value play. |

Fri Apr 15 2022 | 21:23 | Clint Capela Won't Return Versus Cleveland |
Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (knee) won't return to the pivotal play-in contest versus the Cleveland Cavaliers. Capela was coming into this matchup fresh off a 17-rebound and 15-point showing against the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday, a game where he also contributed three blocks and two steals. He was well on his way to another double-double. However, the 27-year-old sustained a hyperextended right knee in the second quarter after inadvertently pulling Evan Mobley down on him. He was assisted back to the locker room by the training staff, so if the Hawks advance beyond Friday's do-or-die battle, the club may be forced to navigate its way through the postseason without Capela and John Collins (finger, foot) for the foreseeable future. Nonetheless, an update on Capela's status should come over the next day or so. In the meantime, Onyeka Okongwu will likely get as many minutes in the middle as he can handle. |

Wed Apr 13 2022 | 21:46 | Clint Capela Posts Double-Double In Wednesday's Victory |
Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela was a dominant force in the lane on both ends of the court in Wednesday's 132-103 victory over the Charlotte Hornets. He racked up 15 points, 17 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and two steals in the game while shooting 6-for-9 from the field and 3-for-6 from the free throw line. Capela has averaged a double-double in each of his last five seasons, but his statistics took a hit overall this past year, coming off his career-best 2020-21 campaign. He averaged 11.1 points and 11.9 rebounds this season after going for 15.2 points and 14.3 rebounds per game in 2020-21. Regardless, it looks like he's heating up at the right time for the Hawks. He'll look to build off of Wednesday's strong performance in the team's next play-in game against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday. |

Sun Jan 23 2022 | 17:55 | Clint Capela On Minutes Limit |
Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (ankle) will be on a minutes limit for Sunday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He came off the bench and played 26 minutes on Friday without any issues. Head coach Nate McMillan hasn't shared how many minutes Capela will play on Sunday, but it should be similar to Friday. Onyeka Okongwu has been solid lately, but could begin losing value with Capela getting back into action. Fantasy managers should hold onto Okongwu for now, but his value could quickly evaporate. |

Fri Jan 21 2022 | 18:05 | Clint Capela Returns To Action Friday |
Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (ankle) has received the green light to suit up for Friday's contest against Miami, marking a return to action after a six-game absence. Capela's return is likely to zap Onyeka Okongwu of his DFS appeal, as the second-year center has starred in his limited starting duties. Capela enters the night third in the league in rebounds per game (13.1), including a stretch where has snagged at least nine boards in 25 consecutive outings. The 27-year-old is as matchup-proof as they come, but the combination of the Heat's stout defense, their stingy production in limiting opposing centers, and Capela's minutes restriction all adds up to him being a shaky DFS option on his first night back. |

Thu Jan 20 2022 | 18:51 | Clint Capela, Danilo Gallinari Draw Questionable Tags For Friday |
Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (ankle) and power forward Danilo Gallinari (Achilles) have earned questionable designations for Friday's contest vs. Miami. Capela has missed each of Atlanta's past six games due to a sprained left ankle, paving the way for Onyeka Okongwu to emerge as a strong DFS and short-term season-long option. Prior to being injured, Capela was on a rebounding tear, having logged double-digit boards in 23 of his last 25 games. Gallinari has reclaimed his rhythm over his last four outings, averaging 16.5 points and 4.5 rebounds while shooting 45.8 percent from behind the arc. Fantasy managers will want to check back prior to tip-off as Capela and Gallinari's respective statuses are imperative to the Hawks' rotation. |

Tue Jan 18 2022 | 18:55 | Clint Capela, Bogdan Bogdanovic Out For Wednesday’s Game |
Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (ankle) and point/shooting guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) have been ruled inactive ahead of Wednesday's contest vs. Minnesota. Capela continues to battle a sprained left ankle, which has now cost him six consecutive games. Bogdanovic has seen his year sidetracked by myriad injuries, the latest of which has been a sore right knee. Onyeka Okongwu has played a sizable frontcourt role in Capela's absence, a role that he stands to reprise so long as the veteran big man is sidelined. On the wing, De'Andre Hunter and Kevin Huerter will likely have more minutes and shot attempts funneled in their direction. The next chance for Capela or Bogdanovic to suit up comes Friday against the Heat. |

Sat Jan 15 2022 | 19:08 | Clint Capela Ruled Out Versus Knicks |
Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the New York Knicks. As expected, Capela will miss his fourth game in a row due to an ankle issue. Onyeka Okongwu should move into the starting five again with Capela sidelined. He could have some deep league appeal, but hasn't done much with his extended role. John Collins will see a bump in usage and could be worth a look in DFS contests with Capela unable to play. |
