Dwight Howard Fantasy Stats

Los Angeles Lakers center Dwight Howard (rest) won't suit up for Sunday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The veteran big man will see his season come to an end as this contest is the regular season finale. The potential is there for Howard to be a fantasy contributor, but it needs to be the perfect role on the right team. Wenyen Gabriel will move into the starting five for Sunday's contest. He'll make his fifth start in the final game of the season. He recently signed a two-year deal and could have something to prove here. Gabriel might be an interesting fantasy option for Sunday's slate.

Los Angeles Lakers center Dwight Howard (hip) has been tagged as probable for Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The Lakers are likely to be without two of their big three, so Howard should be asked to step up. He looked fantastic against the 76ers and nearly had a double-double in his last game. He'll certainly be a streaming option with Russell Westbrook and Malik Monk likely being the only other decent scorers on the team.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Talen Horton-Tucker and center Dwight Howard have cleared the league's protocols. That means, both players are available for Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Horton-Tucker should immediately move into the starting five with the Lakers shorthanded. He'll have plenty of streaming appeal and DFS value for this one. Also, Howard should have a significant role with Anthony Davis (knee) sidelined. Although, his upside isn't as high as Horton-Tucker.

Los Angeles Lakers center Dwight Howard (neck) has been listed as questionable to play in Thursday's game against the Thunder due to a neck ailment. Howard has been sidelined for the team's previous two contests, paving the way for the Lakers to deploy Anthony Davis as their starting center. Howard has logged just 15.2 minutes per contest to begin the season, not nearly enough to earn him a roster spot in season-long fantasy formats. Barring an absence from Davis, Howard remains on the periphery of DFS relevance, but his ailment could funnel a larger role to DeAndre Jordan in the short term.

Philadelphia 76ers center Dwight Howard has been suspended for one game after receiving his 16th technical foul of the season. Howard got into a heated confrontation with veteran Udonis Haslem during Thursday's game against the Miami Heat. Haslen received a double technical and an ejection, while Howard was served a one-game suspension for his 16th technical foul of the season. Mike Scott should be asked to soak up the extra playing time during Friday's game versus the Orlando Magic. Joel Embiid should be an attractive DFS option since he'll likely see more minutes as well in Howard's absence.

The Philadelphia 76ers are set to be considerably short-handed for Friday's game versus the Clippers with small/power forward Tobias Harris (knee), shooting guard Seth Curry (hip) and center Dwight Howard (knee) all ruled out. Harris' loss looms the largest, with Mike Scott likely to see a bump in minutes and usage, while Ben Simmons could also see increased rebounding opportunities. No Curry should allow Furkan Korkmaz to serve as Philly's primary long-range marksman, while Joel Embiid will be without his primary backup. The next chance that any of the injured trio has at returning to the court comes Monday against Golden State.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (knee) and center Dwight Howard (knee) are questionable for Friday's game against the Clippers. Harris seems more likely to go than Howard, who missed the team's last contest. If the veteran big man can't play- Joel Embiid would see all the minutes he can handle- with Mike Scott perhaps backing him up as a small-ball five.

Philadelphia 76ers center Dwight Howard (knee) will not play Wednesday against the Brooklyn Nets. Howard will miss his first game of the season as he sits out with knee soreness. The Sixers will be back to one healthy center on the roster and Joel Embiid should see a ton of minutes. Mike Scott will likely act as small-ball center as well, but is not a recommended fantasy play.

Philadelphia 76ers center Dwight Howard finished with 18 points, 15 rebounds, one assist, two blocks, and one steal in 26 minutes during Thursday's victory over the Cavaliers. Howard has at least nine points and seven boards in the past three games, which are not the worst numbers for fantasy. The center's role has definitely gotten bigger recently with Joel Embiid (knee) out. Nevertheless, the veteran's overall recent numbers haven't been stellar and consistent by any means. With Embiid projected to return very soon, Howard's fantasy value will dip once again.

Philadelphia 76ers center Dwight Howard will be among the team's five starters for Tuesday's matchup with Denver. Forward Mike Scott was tabbed as Philly's starting center in each of the last two games following the Tony Bradley trade, though Howard will get his turn against MVP candidate Nikola Jokic. It's not an ideal matchup- though Howard has averages of 8.9 points, 9.9 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks per game in just under 20 minutes per contest in March, so he could be a sneaky DFS play with a bigger workload.
