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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Capela will not play in Saturday's preseason matchup with the Pelicans for an undisclosed reason, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Hawks did not provide any transparency on why Capela will be sidelined, but given the nature of the preseason, he is likely getting a rest opportunity. He is once again expected to start at center for Atlanta in the upcoming season.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.
