Hawks' Dwight Howard: Dominates Rockets with 20-14 double-double

Howard posted 20 points (8-10 FG, 4-10 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 29 minutes in Saturday's 112-97 win over the Rockets.

Analysis:

Daily players may have chosen to roll with Howard on Saturday with the thought that he'd rise to the occasion in a revenge game against his former team, and while he did just that, the truth is that the center has looked great all season for the Hawks. He's failed to record a double-double in just one of the Hawks' six games, and he's supplemented his value by adding two or more rejections in four of those contests. And in the only two games Howard didn't record multiple blocks, he generated a combined total of five steals. Howard has still struggled as usual from the free-throw line, but he's otherwise looked like an elite fantasy option at his position.
