C 1 - Clint Capela (Houston Rockets):
The Houston Rockets have been performing below par this season, a losing record of 11-14 and they are currently 14th in the Western Conference. They're on a 3-7 run as well and almost nothing is working for them. James Harden is performing at his best and Paul has had a lopsided start to his season. The player who seems to have become the second best on the Houston Rockets is Clint Capela.


Capela has been quietly having a great season, taking another leap to become an even better player for the Houston Rockets. He's averaged a career high 17.6 points and almost 12 rebounds per game as well. He is blocking the rim at an elite level, averaging 2 blocks per game. In his last game against the Dallas Mavericks, Capela scored 12 points and managed 13 rebounds too. He was very restricted by the physical play of DeAndre Jordan and will look to bounce back this game against the Trail Blazers.
