Dwight Howard (back) to sit third straight game Friday for Hawks
Atlanta Hawks forward/center Dwight Howard (back) will not play against the Denver Nuggets on Friday.
Paul Millsap has replaced Howard at the five for the past two games while Kyle Korver has gotten both starting nods. Mike Muscala turned in 16 points and four rebounds in 30.3 minutes on Wednesday night, so he'll be worth a look on FanDuel for Friday night's slate. Howard should be ready to return for Monday's contest against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
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.
