Dwight Howard expected to see big minutes on Friday for Hornets
Acting head coach Stephen Silas said Charlotte Hornets center Dwight Howard "is going to have to play big minutes tonight," reports Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer.
Cody Zeller (knee) will be on the shelf for a while and Frank Kaminsky (ankle) is set to sit on Friday. That leaves Howard, Marvin Williams and Johnny O'Bryant in the Charlotte frontcourt, so Howard will probably play closer to 35-to-40 minutes with O'Bryant seeing limited minutes.
Averaging 29.1 minutes and 32.6 FanDuel points per game, Howard is projected for 36.1 FD points at a cost of $7,800 against the Chicago Bulls.
