Just nine minutes Monday
Capela registered two points (1-2 FG) and one rebound over nine minutes during Monday's 100-97 victory over Phoenix.
Analyse
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.

Seven defensive stats
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.
Analyse
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.

Removed from injury report
Capela (illness) is off the injury report for Saturday's game against Dallas.
Analyse
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.

Out with illness
Capela (illness) is out for Thursday's game against the Nets, Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today reports.
Analyse
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.

Iffy for Thursday
Capela is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Brooklyn due to illness.
Analyse
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.
