7 years agoHouston Rockets center Clint Capela (thumb) will not play Thursday night against the Los Angeles Clippers. This comes as a surprise, as Capela was listed as probable leading up to Thursday. Although the injury is not considered serious, it will keep Capela out of the lineup against the Clippers. In his absence, Nene Hilario is the next man up for the starting five spot. The Rockets have enjoyed using small-ball lineups this season and it wouldn't be surprising to see P.J. Tucker get more run at center as well. Neither Hilario nor Tucker are more than dart throws for the big DFS slate Thursday.--Dale Johnson - RotoBaller
