C 2 - Clint Capela (Houston Rockets):
The Houston Rockets, as we read in one of the earlier slides, were not enjoying a great start to their season but their recent upturn in form has pushed them into the 8th spot in the Western Conference with a 17-15 record, winning 6 of their 7 games.
With Harden being their primary scoring threat and Paul suffering an injury after injury, someone had to step up as their secondary star and Capela has made that leap.

Capela has been playing really well this season, averaging 17 points per game, along with 12 rebounds. He is an amazing rim protector with those long arms of his, averaging at least 2 blocks a game this season.
In the win over the San Antonio Spurs, Capela had an amazing game, scoring 21 points and grabbing 23 rebounds as well. He even had 2 assists and a block to go with it and if the Rockets want to beat the Thunder, they need Capela to step up again.
Alternate pick: Steven Adams (Oklahoma City Thunder)
