Howard (knee) will start Monday's game against the Sixers, the Houston Chronicle's Jonathan Feigen reports.

Analysis:

Howard was questionable coming in after banging knees with a teammate Saturday. However, he'll take his regular spot in the starting lineup Monday and will likely match up with Brook Lopez (foot), who is expected to make his season debut for the Nets.
