Fantasy Impact

Capela is dealing with a right-knee issue that has forced him to miss some time, but this questionable tag is an upgrade and offers some optimism for his return. If he still misses Sunday, fantasy managers can look for John Collins and Onyeka Okongwu to continue to see additional usage in his absence.

Per Chris Kirschner, Clint Capela (knee) will not play Friday versus the Heat according to Hawks coach Nate McMilan.

With Capela out for a third consecutive game, the Hawks will likely start John Collins in his place. While Onyeka Okongwu received the start in game 1, Collins was more productive in his start in game 2 recording a 13 point, 10 rebound double-double. Keep tabs on the official starting lineup before tipoff Friday.
