Howard (ankle) is considered questionable to play Wednesday against the Mavericks, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Analysis:

Howard sprained his ankle Friday against the Suns and sat out Sunday's win over the Lakers. While the injury isn't serious, Howard is still battling swelling and could be held out again. If that's the case, expect Joey Dorsey to make another start in his place. Dorsey played 25 minutes in Sunday's contest, as the Rockets opted to use a small-ball lineup for much of the game.
