Hawks' Dwight Howard: Posts 18-18 line in Sunday's loss

Howard delivered 18 points (6-11 FG, 6-12 FT), 18 rebounds and two blocks in 29 minutes during the Hawks' 104-94 loss to the Knicks on Sunday.

Analysis:

After being ejected in the fourth quarter of Friday's loss to the Hornets for roughing up Cody Zeller with an elbow to the face, Howard saw less than 30 minutes on Sunday for the seventh time in 12 appearances this season. Howard also missed this past Wednesday's bout with the Bucks due to a quad contusion, but he has hauled down 18 boards in the two games since returning to the lineup while producing a pair of double-doubles. Despite his never-ending struggles at the charity stripe, Howard remains a must-start option across all fantasy formats.
