Howard was held to nine points in Orlando's win over Boston on Friday.
Advice: Howard scored five of those points at the free-throw line, although he missed six of them. He took just four field-goal attempts in only the second game he's been held to fewer than 10 points. He had 15 rebounds and three blocked shots, but his scoring average continues to dip, averaging 14.2 points in the last five games after averaging 14.2 points in the last five games after starting the season averaging 20.0 in the first seven.

C Dwight Howard is not putting up the statistics of a year ago, and there is a pretty good reason. He isn't playing as much. Howard's points, rebounds and blocked shots all are noticeably lower this season. He also is averaging just 31 minutes a game, which is five minutes fewer than last season. He has found himself in foul trouble constantly, which has forced him to the sideline more often.

Howard scored 11 points and pulled down 10 rebounds in just 18 minutes of action against the Thunder on Wednesday night.
Recommendation: Howard has found himself in foul trouble early and often this season; and his foul issues are really cutting into his playing time and thus his fantasy production as a result.
