The Rockets' big man is one of the few players currently averaging a double-double on the season. He is clocking an impressive 16.8 points and 12.5 rebounds per game, helping Harden and CP3 secure what will hopefully be a deep playoff run yet again this year around.

Via ESPN’s Tim MacMahon,

“He(Capela) can get a little bit better at the foul line, and he can get better with his endurance. When he does that, when you say what the modern center should look like, it’ll have his picture there.”

Highlight: Capela dropped a career-high 31 points off 13-18 (72.2%) shooting in a win over the Nuggets back in January.

DeAndre Jordan's rim-shattering expertise is feared across the league. However, what often goes unnoticed is his ability to score efficiently on a nightly basis. With the Knicks and Mavericks this season, his FG% has never dropped below 64 as he averages a solid double-double across the 62 games played so far.

Highlight: Back in December, Jordan had a perfect 7-7 shooting night from the floor against the Pelicans along with an uncharacteristically good 6-8 from the line, and finished with 20 points.
