Hawks' Dwight Howard (back) questionable Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks forward/center Dwight Howard (back) is being listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

What It Means:

Howard missed Monday's victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder, leading to Kyle Korver returning to the first unit and Paul Millsap thriving as the starting five. Dennis Schroder also benefitted, and he and Millsap should continue to benefit the most if Howard sits again. Mike Muscala played just 11 minutes.

Howard is averaging 14.2 points, 13.0 rebounds, 1.5 blocks and 1.2 steals on a .632 effective field goal percentage in 26 games this season. His 2.7 nERD is leading the Hawks.
