Capela was a late scratch Tuesday against the Rockets and continues to deal with back spasms as he's already been ruled out Thursday. The Cavaliers are a bad matchup for Atlanta to be missing a center with Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen down low. Larry Nance Jr. and Onyeka Okongwu should continue to fill in for Capela.
This announcement came after tipoff, which is frustrating for fantasy managers. With Capela dealing with back spasms, Larry Nance Jr. should fill out the backup center minutes behind Onyeka Okongwu.
Both Young and Daniels will return to the starting lineup after missing Monday's game. That will push Keaton Wallace back to the bench, though Krejci will remain in the starting lineup in place of Zaccharie Risacher (groin). Gueye will get the first start of his career, as he replaces David Roddy at power forward.
Risacher will return to action on Monday, but the Hawks are down three starters (Trae Young, Dyson Daniels, and Jalen Johnson). Wallace, Krejci, and Roddy will fill those voids. The first two are the players who deep-league managers should look to stream.
The fantasy basketball waiver wire always has players who can help fill holes in your roster. Here are the ones to add for the week ahead.
