Hawks' Clint Capela: Grabs 17 boards, swats three shots
Rotowire
Capela registered 10 points (4-13 FG, 2-2 FT), 17 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal in 30 minutes during Saturday's 132-121 loss to the Bucks.
Capela struggled badly from the field, but he's not expected to carry the offense on a regular basis, and he still found a way to deliver value with his energy on the glass and active rim protection. Capela's scoring numbers have been pedestrian at best, as he has failed to score more than 14 points in five straight games, but he should remain a valuable fantasy asset if he keeps crashing the ball and protecting the rim as he's done it all season long.

Hawks' Clint Capela: Comes close to double-double
Rotowire
Capela racked up 14 points (6-10 FG, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, two blocks and two steals across 22 minutes during Tuesday's 128-105 loss to the Cavaliers.
Capela ended just one board shy of posting what would've been his fourth double-double over his last six outings, and the veteran big man continues to be a two-way threat while maintaining his place as Atlanta's starting center. Onyeka Okongwu has shown he could be in line for more minutes sooner than later, but until that happens, Capela will continue to have value in fantasy as an above-average rebounder and finisher near the rim. He's averaging 10.6 points and 9.5 rebounds per game in November.

Hawks' Clint Capela: Season high in boards Wednesday
Rotowire
Capela amassed 14 points (7-8 FG), 15 rebounds and three blocks across 27 minutes during Wednesday's 147-145 overtime victory over the Nets.
The 15 boards were a season high for Capela, who delivered his second double-double in the last three games and sixth in 14 contests. The veteran center remains a trade candidate with Onyeka Okongwu on the depth chart behind him, but Capela isn't doing anything to hurt his market value, and his 1.7 blocks a game is his best performance in that category since 2020-21.

Hawks' Clint Capela: Scores 17 and adds 11 boards
Rotowire
Capela provided 17 points (7-11 FG, 3-5 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 29 minutes during Friday's 126-116 loss to the 76ers.
Capela notched his first double-double since Nov. 1, and while he remains a respectable defensive presence and active rebounder, his scoring figures have regressed compared to previous seasons. His two-way play makes him valuable in most formats, but he's averaging a modest 10.0 points and 9.4 rebounds per game since the beginning of November.

Hawks' Clint Capela: Double-digit rebounds once again
Rotowire
Capela notched six points (2-4 FG, 2-4 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and one block over 26 minutes during Thursday's 120-119 victory over the Magic.
Capela's offensive woes continue, and he has now scored 10 or fewer points in four of his last five appearances. He still provides value as a rim protector and glass cleaner, having averaged 10.5 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per contest so far, but he needs to be better offensively to deliver better fantasy results. He's scoring just 10.1 points per game while shooting 55.9 percent from the field.

Hawks' Clint Capela: Wrangles 12 rebounds
Rotowire
Capela closed with six points (2-5 FG, 2-4 FT), 12 rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 21 minutes during Monday's 126-117 loss to the Thunder.
Capela's performance was comparable to his platoon mate Onyeka Okongwu (seven points, 14 rebounds, 25 minutes) on Monday. Capela has averaged just 5.8 shots over his last four contests, which makes settling into an offensive rhythm difficult.

Hawks' Clint Capela: Five rejections against T-wolves
Rotowire
Capela recorded two points (0-3 FG, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and five blocks across 23 minutes during Monday's 127-113 victory over Minnesota.
Matched up against Rudy Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns, Capela still made his presence felt on the defensive end even though he offered little offense. The veteran center came into Monday with only one block through the first three games of the season, so the rejections were probably overdue. Capela has averaged at least 1.2 blocks a game for eight straight seasons coming into 2023-24.

Hawks' Clint Capela: Solid on both ends Sunday
Rotowire
Capela racked up 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 23 minutes during Sunday's 127-110 win over Milwaukee.
Another game, another double-double for the veteran big man, who has finished with at least 12 points and 12 rebounds in each of his appearances so far. He hasn't done much in other categories, as he has racked up just three assists, two steals and one block combined, but his touch around the rim and energy on the glass are more than enough to make him valuable across all formats. He'll have a tough matchup to continue his double-double streak with the Timberwolves visiting State Farm Arena on Monday.

Hawks' Clint Capela: Records double-double in loss
Rotowire
Capela posted 13 points (6-12 FG, 1-2 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and one block across 28 minutes during Friday's 126-120 loss to the Knicks.
Capela was solid on both ends of the court, and the veteran big man has opened the 2023-24 campaign with back-to-back double-doubles. That shouldn't be overly surprising, however, as Capela recorded 35 games with at least 10 points and 10 rebounds in the 2022-23 regular season.

Hawks' Clint Capela: Hauls in 10 rebounds
Rotowire
Capela recorded seven points (2-3 FG, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds and one block in 15 minutes during Tuesday's 108-107 preseason win over the Cavaliers.
Capela drew the start over Onyeka Okongwu, so he appears to have the upper hand in this position battle for now. Coach Quin Snyder has said that he wants to experiment with some lineups during the preseason, so it will be important for Capela to be at his best.
