Capela logged two points (1-4 FG), six rebounds and one assist in 12 minutes during Sunday's 125-124 overtime loss to the Kings.
With Steven Adams resting, Capela picked up a handful of minutes Sunday. He saw seven or fewer minutes in his previous three contests, and he remains miles off the fantasy radar.

Rockets' Clint Capela: Plays 14 minutes in win
Rotowire
Capela logged six points (3-4 FG), three rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 14 minutes during Sunday's 129-101 victory over the Jazz.
Capela's role has been very inconsistent this season, as he is the third-string center behind Alperen Sengun and Steven Adams. In games where Capela plays at least 14 minutes, he averages 5.7 points, 6.8 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.2 blocks, but it is unknown how much time he will play on a game-to-game basis, making him an unreliable fantasy option in most leagues.

Rockets' Clint Capela: Another quiet outing
Rotowire

Capela has not been a factor in Houston's rotation, averaging 10.0 minutes per game and remains behind Alperen Sengun and Steven Adams on the depth chart. As long as those two are healthy, it appears that Capela will continue to operate as the team's third-string center.

Capela logged a season-high 18 minutes, grabbing double-digit boards for the first time this season.

Rockets' Clint Capela: Productive in 14 minutes
Rotowire
Capela logged eight points (4-4 FG), one rebound and two blocks over 14 minutes during Monday's 137-109 victory over the Nets.
Capela continues to see a minor role in the frontcourt to open the season. Both Steven Adams and Capela were brought off the bench Monday, as the Rockets opted for a smaller starting lineup with Josh Okogie getting the nod. As long as Alperen Sengun and Adams are healthy, Capela won't have a big runway for fantasy value.

Rockets' Clint Capela: Sees eight minutes
Rotowire
Capela chipped in four points (1-1 FG, 2-2 FT) and one steal over eight minutes during Tuesday's 125-124 double-overtime loss to Oklahoma City.
The Rockets started a jumbo lineup of Steven Adams and Alperen Sengun in the front court Tuesday, but coach Ime Udoka has previously said that lineups could be fluid based on matchups. Still, it's pretty telling that Capela logged just eight minutes in this double-overtime loss. There will likely be some games where Capela is way more involved, and it's worth noting that Adams is expected to have a maintenance plan. But if Tuesday was any indication, Capela's fantasy appeal isn't the greatest as things currently stand.

Rockets' Clint Capela: Nearly double-doubles
Rotowire
Capela put up eight points (3-8 FG, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds and two assists in 18 minutes of Wednesday's 140-127 preseason win over Utah.
Steven Adams got the night off for rest after playing 16 minutes in the preseason opener Monday. In that same game, Capela once again saw 18 minutes. The starters haven't seen full workloads yet, but it seems likely that Capela is heading towards a role with minutes in the teens, given the crowded frontcourt. For what it's worth, coach Ime Udoka has talked about using double-center lineups at times with Capela and Adams spending some time alongside Alperen Sengun.
