Dwight Howard: (Knee) Out Wednesday

Howard (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game, the Houston Chronicle's Jenny Dial Creech reports.

Analysis:

This will mark the fourth straight game Howard will miss due to the knee injury. Houston will continue to operate with an undersized lineup, as replacement starting center Tarik Black played just 17 minutes in the Rockets' last game, and backup center Joey Dorsey saw just 13 minutes. Howard should be considered questionable for Friday's game against the Clippers.
