Clint Capela (Achilles) officially out for Hawks' opener
Atlanta Hawks forward/center Clint Capela (left Achilles soreness) is officially out for Wednesday's season opener versus the Chicago Bulls.
What It Means:
Capela has been downgraded from doubtful. He played through the issue during the preseason, so hopefully he will be able to make his Hawks debut soon. John Collins figures to pick up the most minutes at center in place of Capela. Bruno Fernando and Danilo Gallinari should also see more run at the five.
numberFire's models project Collins for 39.3 FanDuel points versus the Bulls and he has a salary of $7,700 on Wednesday's slate.
