Hawks' Dwight Howard: Huge double-double in win vs. 76ers

Howard posted 22 points (8-17 FG, 6-7 FT), 20 rebounds, four assists and one block across 36 minutes in Wednesday's 99-92 win over the 76ers.

Analysis:

With fellow front court teammate Paul Millsap missing his sixth game in a row, Howard took on more than his usual scoring load against the Sixers and dominated the younger Richaun Holmes inside. Howard recorded his third 20-point, 20-rebound double-double of the season, partly due to the fact that he was able to connect on all but one of his free throw attempts. Howard has looked like his former self lately-- the former MVP candidate is averaging 18 points and 14.8 rebounds over his last five. Those numbers could drop once Millsap returns, but until then fantasy owners can continue to enjoy the gravy train.
