Analysis:

According to a previous report, Howard will sit out one of the Rockets two games of their upcoming back-to-back, so expect him to miss their tilt Monday night against the Hornets. His minutes have slowly increased since he returned from injury last month, so expect him to play around 28 minutes as the Rockets try to improve their playoff position Sunday.
