Houston Rockets center Clint Capela had a second consecutive game without a double-double on Wednesday, as he finished with 10 points and eight rebounds against the Bucks.

Jake Virtanen Moved To First Line On Wednesday

Brock Boeser Likely Done For The Season

Vancouver Canucks right wing Brock Boeser is likely done for the season after suffering a lower back injury in Monday's tilt against the Islanders.
