Howard (rest) is considered questionable for Sunday's game against Washington.

Analysis:

The Rockets will hold Howard out of back-to-back sets while he continues to work back from a knee issue, so he'll sit out either Sunday in Washington or Monday in Toronto. The team is yet to decide which game it will be, and coach Kevin McHale intimated that a decision won't come until after Howard goes through pregame warmups Sunday. Given the fact that Howard remains under a strict minutes limit, he's best avoided in most formats until that restriction is lifted.
