Outlook Clint Capela
Clint Capela vs. Thunder — Projected Starter in Low-Minute Role
Capela is healthy and slated to start at center tonight against Oklahoma City, though Alperen Sengun's active status keeps his rotational ceiling capped. The veteran big man provided quality minutes off the bench in Wednesday's win over Milwaukee and has posted 3.8 points and 5.4 rebounds across 14.6 minutes per game through five appearances, prompting a slight uptick in fantasy roster rates to 4%.
In tonight's matchup at Toyota Center, our models project Capela for 8.1 fantasy points and 3.1 rebounds in roughly eight minutes. Houston wraps up a four-game scoring week against a 4-1 Thunder squad in what is expected to be a competitive home tilt. Given the limited projected run, he remains strictly a deep-league option.
