Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (calf) has been tagged as questionable on Friday as he's dealing with a left calf contusion. The veteran big man has been on and off the injury report but ultimately has only missed two games so far this season. As long as he's healthy, his value in points, boards, blocks, and efficiency is very high, especially for a later-round draft pick in many fantasy drafts. Capela is averaging 11.2 points, 10.4 rebounds, 1.0 assists, and 1.6 blocks per game while shooting 56.7% from the floor on 8.2 shots a night. Fantasy managers relying on that production will want to check back when tipoff approaches to see if he's upgraded to active for this contest.
Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (Achilles) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Capela will hit the seats due to soreness in his right Achilles, and it will be his first missed action since Dec. 16. The Swiss big man will target a return when Atlanta continues a five-game homestand on Friday versus the Indiana Pacers. As for Wednesday, Onyeka Okongwu should man the middle as the direct fantasy beneficiary of Capela's absence in a rather favorable matchup against a Joel Embiid-less Sixers team. In 18 games without Capela since 2022-23, Okongwu has averaged 10.7 points, 9.4 rebounds, and 2.1 blocks in 32.6 minutes and deserves be a very popular play from a DFS perspective in an amplified role.
Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (Achilles) is questionable for Wednesday's encounter with Philadelphia. He's landed on the injury report with right Achilles soreness, which puts him in danger of missing his second game of the season. It's been a solid campaign for him, and Capela has performed well against the Sixers, averaging 16.0 points and 13.5 rebounds in two contests. He might do even better on Wednesday, with Joel Embiid (knee) on the shelf for the visitors, but the Hawks are facing a busy stretch and could decide to give the Swiss big man a break. It would be Onyeka Okongwu's chance to shine as a starter if Capela can't go.
