Dwight Howard scores 22 points with 10 rebounds in Hornets' loss

Charlotte Hornets forward/center Dwight Howard scored 22 points (8-of-12 field goals, 6-of-8 free throws) with 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, and 1 turnover in Wednesday's 126-113 loss to the Toronto Raptors.

What It Means:

It was a nice bounce-back effort from Howard after he went just 3-of-10 for 10 points against the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday. He now has six straight double-doubles and is averaging 15.6 points with 12.7 rebounds per game on the season. He'll look to notch another on Friday when the Hornets face the Miami Heat on the road.

Howard scored 40.5 FanDuel points on Wednesday, a step above his average of 34.3 FanDuel points per game this season.
