Dwight Howard Registers Team-Worst Point Differential
6 years agoWashington Wizards center Dwight Howard was a team-worst minus-14 Friday night in a loss to the Orlando Magic. Howard recorded 12 points on 6-for-8 shooting from the field and 0-for-2 from the free throw line, while adding eight rebounds and four turnovers in just 26 minutes. Friday's numbers are in par with Howard's season averages so far this year as he still recovers from an injury forcing him to sit the first seven games. However, the Wizards are now just 1-3 since Howard made his season debut. The team itself is an absolute mess and there could be a shake-up soon, but Howard is still a decent option for points, field-goal percentage and rebounds if your team can stomach the high turnovers and poor free throw percentage.

Dwight Howard Probable For Tuesday
3 years agoLos Angeles Lakers center Dwight Howard (hip) has been tagged as probable for Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The Lakers are likely to be without two of their big three, so Howard should be asked to step up. He looked fantastic against the 76ers and nearly had a double-double in his last game. He'll certainly be a streaming option with Russell Westbrook and Malik Monk likely being the only other decent scorers on the team.

Talen Horton-Tucker, Dwight Howard Returning On Tuesday
3 years agoLos Angeles Lakers forward Talen Horton-Tucker and center Dwight Howard have cleared the league's protocols. That means, both players are available for Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Horton-Tucker should immediately move into the starting five with the Lakers shorthanded. He'll have plenty of streaming appeal and DFS value for this one. Also, Howard should have a significant role with Anthony Davis (knee) sidelined. Although, his upside isn't as high as Horton-Tucker.

Dwight Howard Earns Questionable Tag For Thursday
3 years agoLos Angeles Lakers center Dwight Howard (neck) has been listed as questionable to play in Thursday's game against the Thunder due to a neck ailment. Howard has been sidelined for the team's previous two contests, paving the way for the Lakers to deploy Anthony Davis as their starting center. Howard has logged just 15.2 minutes per contest to begin the season, not nearly enough to earn him a roster spot in season-long fantasy formats. Barring an absence from Davis, Howard remains on the periphery of DFS relevance, but his ailment could funnel a larger role to DeAndre Jordan in the short term.
