Player performance and review:

Clint Capela has been the second best player on this Rockets team even when Chris Paul is on the floor. He has been superb, averaging just under 18 points per game, along with under 13 rebounds and over an assist a game.

He is an excellent shot blocker and rim protector, averaging 2 blocks a game and under a steal a game too.

In the win over the Cavaliers, Capela played only 30 minutes but managed to shoot at 87.5%, scoring 19 points, along with 4 rebounds, 2 assists, a steal and 2 huge blocks. The Rockets will be hoping he continues playing this well tomorrow as well.

Alternate pick: Serge Ibaka (Toronto Raptors)
