Clint Capela (Achilles) making Hawks debut Monday, expects minutes in 20's
Atlanta Hawks forward/center Clint Capela (left Achilles soreness) said he will play on Monday against the Detroit Pistons.
What It Means:
Capela said his sore Achilles is feeling "much better" and he expects to play "in the 20s" in terms of minutes. This will be Capela's first game for the Hawks since being acquired back in February. Capela will start, meaning Bogdan Bogdanovic or Cam Reddish will likely be bumped to the second unit. Bruno Fernando and Nathan Knight may also see reduced roles.
numberFire's models expect Capela to play 25.4 minutes and score 25.6 FanDuel points in his Hawks debut. He has a salary of $6,500 on Monday's slate. Capela averaged 1.1 FanDuel points per minute for the Houston Rockets last season before being traded.
