Clint Capela (back) questionable for Hawks Friday
Atlanta Hawks forward/center Clint Capela (back contusion) is questionable to play Friday against the Miami Heat.
What It Means:
The Hawks have already ruled out Trae Young (ankle) and they could be even more shorthanded if Capela is also sidelined. The big man took a hard fall during Wednesday's game and is apparently still feeling the ill effects. This could wind up coming down to a game-time call ahead of Friday's 7:30pm ET tip-off. Onyeka Okongwu would likely draw a start if Capela can't play and Nathan Knight would be in line for more minutes.
numberFire’s models project Capela for 39.1 FanDuel points versus the Heat and he has a salary of $9,300 on Friday.
