Newsbreakers
November 18, 2009
Dwight Howard collected a double-double in Wednesday's 108-94 win over Oklahoma City, with 11 points and 10 boards. He also had one block.

Our View:Howard picked up his eighth double-double of the season, but performed way below expectations as a stud fantasy center. He has only topped 20 points once in his last five games.
November 16, 2009
Dwight Howard collected a double-double in Monday's 97-91 win over Charlotte, with 14 points and a game-high 11 boards. He also chipped in two assists, one steal and two blocks.

Our View:Howard left a bit to be desired in the scoring department, but at least he collected his seventh double-double of the season. He only made 6-of-14 attempts from the charity stripe.
November 13, 2009
Dwight Howard dominated the Nets on Friday to the tune of 26 points and 12 rebounds in the Magic's 88-72 win.

November 11, 2009
Dwight Howard was held in check in tonight's 102-93 loss to Cleveland, as he only notched 11 points, seven boards, one steal and one block. He played 31:33 minutes.

Our View:The stud center was a disappointment for fantasy owners tonight, but he should bounce back soon enough. He collected five double-doubles over his previous eight battles.
November 10, 2009
Dwight Howard led the charge for the Magic on Tuesday with 15 points, ten boards and six assists in a 93-81 win over the Bobcats.

Our View:Superman just barely missed a triple-double, but managed to record his fifth double of the season. He had a strong game overall, but put up less than 20 points for just the second time this year. That should tell you what kind of season he's having.
November 8, 2009
Dwight Howard was one of the few bright spots for the Magic on Sunday as they fell to the Thunder 102-74. Howard had 20 points and seven rebounds in the game.

Our View:The team only scored 74 points, so Howard's 20 was a pretty nice number. He is usually more dominant on the defensive end, but just chalk this one up as an off night for the team.
November 6, 2009
Dwight Howard carried the Magic in Friday's 110-103 win over the Pistons, as he generated 22 points and 12 boards. He also chipped in three assists and two blocks.

November 4, 2009
Dwight Howard chipped in 25 points and six rebounds in the Magic's 122-100 win over the Suns on Wednesday. Howard played only 23 minutes due to foul trouble.

Our View:Howard did not have his usual tenacity tonight, which could be contributed to his shoulder injury. The six rebounds and zero blocks are a bit of a disappointment, but the 25 points were a very solid output.
November 4, 2009
According to the Orlando Sentinel, Dwight Howard isn't expected to miss any time after aggravating his shoulder injury during Tuesday's game.

Our View:Howard left Tuesday's contest after falling on the shoulder, but returned to finished the game before fouling out after just 17 minutes of playing time. He originally suffered the injury in Sunday's game, and it looks as if it may bother him for some time, but the superstar is dedicated to playing through it and should still be a strong fantasy option.
November 1, 2009
Dwight Howard had another big day on Sunday as the Magic topped the Raptors 125-116. Howard finished with 24 points, 11 rebounds, one assist, two steals, and a blocked shot.

Our View:The most impressive stat of the day for Howard was his 14-of-16 shooting from the free throw line. If Howard can hit from the line consistently, he will be an unstoppable force for Orlando this season.
October 30, 2009
Dwight Howard carried the Magic in Friday's 95-85 win at New Jersey, as he scored a game-high 20 points and 22 rebounds. He also had one assist, one steal and four blocks.

Our View:The star center would have had more points, but he only made 4-of-11 shots from the charity stripe. Fantasy owners should still be very satisfied with his performance tonight.
October 28, 2009
Dwight Howard did his usual thing on opening night, pulling down 15 rebounds while scoring 21 points, as Orlando routed Philadelphia 120-106.

Our View:A great start to what is surely going to be another season of greatness for the NBA's most dynamic center.
October 23, 2009
Dwight Howard dazzled in tonight's 123-86 preseason win over the Hawks, as he racked up 25 points and 13 boards over 29:42 minutes. He also picked up two assists, one steal and three blocks.

Our View:He did well at the charity stripe too, making 7-of-10 free-throw attempts. The stud center should be headed for another strong campaign in 2009-10.
October 21, 2009
Dwight Howard filled the stat sheet as usual on Wednesday as the Magic dominated the Pacers 117-87. Howard had 14 points, seven rebounds, two steals, and two blocked shots in the win.

Our View:It wasn't all good for Howard tonight, as he was only 6-for-16 from the free-throw line. So much for devoting his offseason to improve that aspect of his game. He looks poised for another huge fantasy season, even if he can't hit his freebees.
October 19, 2009
Dwight Howard had 18 points and ten rebounds in the Magic's 101-98 win over the Bulls on Monday. Howard was 6-of-7 from the field and 10-for-17 from the line.

Our View:A nice night for Howard tonight, although missing seven free-throws isn't great. He was only a 60.1 percent shooter from the line last year, but he believes he will be much better this season. We will believe it when we see it.
October 18, 2009
The Oklahoman reports that Magic coach Stan Van Gundy is claiming Dwight Howard can turn into a good free throw shooter.

Our View:Howard is just a 60.1 percent free throw shooter for his career, but after missing some costly free throws in last year's NBA finals, has committed to getting better at the line. He has practiced free throws religiously every day this offseason, and it's not a bad bet that he will show at least some minimal improvement this year.
October 9, 2009
The Orlando Sentinel reports that Dwight Howard will sit for the majority of Friday's preseason game to give the superstar some added rest.

Our View:Marcin Gortat will get the start in Howards place, but fans may see Superman for a couple minutes in this one.
August 13, 2009
The Orlando Sentinel is reporting that there have been pictures posted at mediatakeout.com that supposedly depicted Magic center Dwight Howard in the nude. These pictures have been confirmed as fake, and the site has removed them.

Our View:Howard is truly becoming a huge star, because everyone knows nude pics are the first sign of stardom. The pictures are fake, so Magic fans and future Howard owners shouldn't worry about any kind of media backlash coming from this.
June 14, 2009
Dwight Howard posted another double-double on Sunday in the Magic's 99-86 loss to the Lakers. Howard had 11 points and 10 rebounds, and he also blocked three shots.

Our View:Howard only had nine field goal attempts, and the Magic just didn't seem interested in working through him. Howard needs to expand is offensive game if he is going to be the elite player many think he will be.
June 11, 2009
Dwight Howard was solid in Thursday's 99-91 loss to the Lakers in Game 4 of the NBA Finals, as he generated 16 points and a game-high 21 rebounds. He also had two assists and nine blocks.

Our View:Howard had a great defensive outing, but was not quite good enough for the Magic to nail down a win at home. They are now on the brink of elimination as they trail 3-1 in the series.
June 11, 2009
AOL reports that the Magic will offer extensions to coach Stan Van Gundy and GM Otis Smith following the NBA Finals. Both individuals have two years left on their current deals.

Our View:We're not sure why the Magic would do this now, as their values have never been higher. We would understand if SVG or Smith came to them seeking an extension, but they are eliminating their leverage with this announcement. We do agree that "the Master of Panic who will let his team down come playoff time" (Shaquille O'Neal) has done a masterful job in the playoffs.
June 10, 2009
ESPN.com reports that Kareem Abdul-Jabaar feels that Dwight Howard is predictable. KAJ points out that Howard does not have a go-to move and that he is ineffective when not right underneath the basket.

Our View:Howard has been limited by the Lakers to just 11 field goals through three games in the Finals. They have the luxury of putting taller players on him, but they are also double-teaming him, fouling early, and cutting down his passing lanes. Howard has shown a lot of improvement at the free throw line this postseason and we expect his offensive repertoire to improve significantly in time.
June 9, 2009
Dwight Howard led the Magic in Tuesday's 107-104 win over the Lakers in Game 3 of the NBA Finals, as he generated 21 points, 14 boards, two assists, one steal and two blocks.

June 7, 2009
Dwight Howard grabbed 16 rebounds to compliment his 17 points on Sunday, but the Magic fell regardless. The Lakers won Game Two 101-96 and now have a 2-0 lead in the NBA Finals.

Our View:Howard was everywhere on Sunday. In addition to his double-double he had four assists, four steals and four blocked shots. He was 5-of-10 from the field and 7-of-9 at the line. The only knock on his game was the seven turnovers he committed.
June 4, 2009

Our View:The elite center performed well defensively, but was shut down on offense, which led to Orlando's loss. The team is now 5-6 in road games in the playoffs.
June 2, 2009
Dwight Howard told the Sun-Sentinel on Monday that he would love to stay in Orlando as long as the fans want him to be there. Howard still has four years left on his current contract with the Magic, and he would like to finish his career in Orlando.

Our View:This is the kind of thing you say now, while your team is getting ready to play for the NBA championship and everything is going good. He is still very young, but as a center he looks to be the future of their franchise. A few bad seasons down the road would probably have him singing a different tune, however.
May 30, 2009
Dwight Howard scored a game-high 40 points and 14 boards in Saturday's 103-90 win over the Cavs in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals. He also chipped in four assists and a block.

May 28, 2009
Dwight Howard had a double-double on Thursday, but the Magic fell to the Cavaliers 112-102. Howard notched 24 points and added ten rebounds in the loss.

May 26, 2009
Dwight Howard was good for 27 points and 14 rebounds in the Magic's clutch 116-114 overtime victory over the Cavaliers on Tuesday. They now lead the series 3-1.

Our View:Howard was a beast in this game as well, shooting 10-of-16 from the field with three blocked shots and a steal. But the big man picked up another technical foul. If he gets one more he will be suspended for the Magic's next game. They could finish off the Cavs and possibly not have their best player for Game One of the NBA finals.
May 25, 2009
Dwight Howard picked up his fifth technical foul in Sunday's win in Game 3 against the Cavs.

Our View:The elite center can collect two more technicals before being dealt a one-game suspension. The Magic lead the series over the Cavs 2-1.
May 24, 2009
Dwight Howard was instrumental once again with a team-high 24 points to go along with nine rebounds and a pair of assists in the Magic's 99-89 win over the Cavaliers on Sunday.

Our View:Howard hit five of his eight shots from the field and spent a considerable amount of time at the line, hitting 14-of-19 free throws. The most impressive aspect is that he did all of this in just under 28 minutes due to foul trouble.
May 21, 2009
Dwight Howard had an excellent game on Wednesday as the Magic beat the Cavs 107-106. Howard had 30 points and added 13 rebounds and one assist.

Our View:Howard was excellent tongiht, and it didn't look like anyone on the Cavs' front line could stop him. He went 14-for-20 from the field, and if he keeps playing like this the Cavs could be in big trouble.
May 17, 2009
Dwight Howard took only nine shots and finished with 12 points, 16 rebounds, and five blocks in Sunday's 101-82 defeat of the Celtics during Game 7 in Boston.

Our View:You probably won't hear Howard complaining about not getting the ball in the postgame news conference tonight. Howard has spent an ample amount of time with his coach over the past three days and it seems that he got the message: he impacts the game most by focusing his energy on the defensive end.
May 14, 2009
Dwight Howard led the way for the Magic on Thursday, tallying 23 points, 22 boards, and two assists. The Magic won the game 83-75 to force a Game 7.

Our View:Howard calling out his coach must have worked, because he was a beast tonight. He put the team on his back and carried them to a victory. His guarantee that the Magic will win this series looks much better after tonight.
May 14, 2009
Dwight Howard apologized to coach Stan Van Gundy regarding the comments he made following Orlando's loss in Game 5, according to ESPN.

Our View:Howard is also predicting a win in Game 6, and noted that the Magic cannot give up hope while trailing 3-2 in the series against the defending champion Celtics.
May 13, 2009
The Orlando Sentinel is reporting that Dwight Howard and coach Stan Van Gundy met before Wednesday's practice to clear the air about Howard's coments made after the Magic's Game 5 loss.

Our View:Howard complained about not getting enough touches during the Magic's meltdown in the fourth quarter last night. Howard apologized, but he had a point. Instead of bombing three-pointer after three-pointer, maybe the Magic should think about getting the ball to their best player.
May 12, 2009
Dwight Howard was a rebounding machine once again on Tuesday with 17, but the Magic coughed up a 14-point lead in the fourth quarter and fell to the Celtics in Game Five 92-88.

Our View:Howard had 12 points to go along with his 17 boards, but also had four turnovers in the game. He and the Magic will look to even the series at home on Thursday night.
May 10, 2009
Dwight Howard had 23 points, 17 rebounds, and three blocks, but the Magic fell 95-94 on a last second Glen Davis jumper. He was 7-for-10 from the free-throw line, including 2-for-2 in the final minute.

Our View:Howard is averaging 20.9 points and 16 rebounds through nine playoff games and has certainly done his job for the Magic. He will need to do even more on the defensive end to take two of the next three from the Celtics.
May 8, 2009
Dwight Howard scored 17 points and grabbed 14 rebounds in the Magic's 117-96 Game Three win over the Celtics on Friday. The Magic now lead the series two games to one.

Our View:Howard has been a rebounding machine in the playoffs, but he was exceptional in other ways on Friday as well. He was a precise 7-of-8 shooting from the the field, had two steals in the game and blocked five shots. He's been a handful to deal with in this series, which is why the Magic have a 2-1 lead.
May 6, 2009
Dwight Howard scored 12 points on 5-for-13 shooting as the Magic fell to the Celtics 112-94 on Wednesday. He grabbed 12 rebounds, committed five turnovers, and hit only 2-of-8 free throws, while not blocking a single shot.

Our View:Howard struggled badly tonight, and the rest of his team followed. The Celtics attacked the center all night long and hit 51.3 percent in the process. Expect more of that same tactic in Game 3.
May 6, 2009
Dwight Howard received the most votes of any player to land on the All-Defensive First Team, according to the AP. Other members of the team include Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Chris Paul, and Kevin Garnett.

Our View:Howard led the league with 13.8 rebounds and 2.9 blocks per game. He dominates the paint on a nightly basis and rightly deserved this honor.
May 5, 2009
Dwight Howard was huge for the Orlando on Monday, leading the Magic to a 95-90 win in Boston. Howard had 16 points and 22 rebounds in the win.

Our View:With the Celtics' front line decimated by injury, Howard figures to be poised for a huge series. If he keeps playing like this, the Magic may just have enough to dethrone the defending champs.
May 4, 2009
Dwight Howard will be well-rested for tonight's Game 1 at Boston after being suspended for Game 6 in the opening-round series against the Sixers, according to the Boston Globe. Howard said, "It is our time now. Adding me back to the mix, and our guys know we can win a championship. We want to go through the defending champs."

Our View:The elite center will be refreshed, while the Celtics could be tired following a long series with Chicago where four of the seven games went into overtime. Howard averages 16.3 points and 12.1 boards over 18 career meetings with the Celtics, and Kevin Garnett's defensive prowess is going to be missed.
April 29, 2009
The NBA has suspended big man Dwight Howard one game for throwing an elbow during Tuesday's Game 5 win over the 76ers, ESPN.com confirms. Howard will sit out on Thursday night.

Our View:The Magic will have a tough time battling the 76ers without both Howard and Courtney Lee. Hedo Turkoglu and Rashard Lewis will need to step up their games, as will role players like Mickael Pietrus, Tony Battie, and Martin Gortat.
April 29, 2009
The NBA league office confirms that they are looking into Dwight Howard's actions from Tuesday night, ESPN.com confirms. The Magic star threw an elbow at 76ers center Samuel Dalembert. Howard did receive a technical.

Our View:Many experts seem to believe that Howard should receive a suspension for his actions, as the elbow did fly above shoulder level and was clearly intentional. Losing Howard for even one game would obviously be a big blow to the Magic.
April 28, 2009
Dwight Howard gave the Magic a 3-2 series lead with a 24-point, 24 rebound performance on Tuesday in Orlando's 91-78 win over the Sixers.

Our View:Howard was a beast on the floor Tuesday with the massive rebound total and the fact that he hit eight of his 14 shots, but he may not be able to participate in Game Six due to a nasty elbow he threw during the game. The play is currently under review by the league and Howard is likely to be suspended.
April 26, 2009
Dwight Howard was super in Sunday's 84-81 win over the Sixers. He scored a game-high 18 points to go with his impressive 18 rebounds and the Magic evened the series as two games apiece.

Our View:Howard was dominant around the glass and also blocked three shots to go with his ridiculous 18 rebounds. He also hit 6-of-11 shots from the field. The only area where e struggled was at the line, where he only made 6-of-12 free throws.
April 24, 2009
Dwight Howard had a monster night for the Magic on Friday, but it wasn't enough as the Magic dropped Game 3 to Philadelphia 96-94. Howard finished with 36 points and 11 rebounds.

Our View:The heavily favored Magic now find themselves in a very precarious position: down 2-1 with Game 4 upcoming in Philly. The Magic need to find a way to win Game 4, or their magical (no pun intended) season may end prematurely.
April 22, 2009
Dwight Howard battled foul trouble throughout Game 2 as he finished with 11 points, 10 rebounds, and four blocks in the Magic's 96-87 win over the 76ers. He eventually fouled out after 30 minutes of action.

Our View:The Magic were lucky to escape with the win. Howard needs to be a bigger factor going forward if they are to regain home court advantage in this series.
April 21, 2009
FoxSports reports that Dwight Howard's scratched eyes will not keep him out of action in Game 2 on Wednesday.

Our View:There was some concern his cornias were damaged a la Amare Stoudemire. The recently named Defensive Player of the Year should continue to dominate Philadelphia on the interior for the remainder of the series.
April 21, 2009
Dwight Howard will be named the NBA Defensive Player of the Year for 2008-09, according to the Orlando Sentinel.

Our View:The elite center is the youngest player to win the award at 23. He earned the honor by leading the league in rebounding (13.8 per game) and blocks (2.9 per game). He also averaged one steal.
April 20, 2009
Dwight Howard will have his eyes examined after being scratched by Samuel Dalembert during Game 1 against the Sixers, according to ESPN.

Our View:The ailment is not expected to force Howard to miss Game 2 on Wednesday.
April 19, 2009
Dwight Howard scored 31 points, grabbed 16 rebounds, and blocked two shots as the Magic lost Game 1 to Philadelphia 100-98 on Sunday. He hit 11-of-13 field goals and 9-of-12 free throws in the game.

Our View:Howard's 9-for-12 mark from the line was impressive considering he shot just 59.4 percent on the year. The Magic would benefit from going to Howard more often in this series as the 76ers simply have no answer for him.
April 15, 2009
Dwight Howard is expected to sit out tonight's game against the Bobcats, according to the Sports Network.

Our View:The Magic clinched the Southest division and cannot improve their playoff seed, and the club is holding the elite center out to prevent an injury.
April 13, 2009
The Orlando Sentinel reports that Dwight Howard will sit out Monday's game against the Bucks and he will play limited minutes on Wednesday. Coach Stan Van Gundy says the center has appeared tired the past two games.

Our View:This news obviously hurts Howard's fantasy owners who depend on him to carry them in rebounding and shot blocking. Marcin Gortat will start in his place.
April 8, 2009
Dwight Howard had 14 points and 13 rebounds as the Magic beat the Grizzlies 81-78 on Wednesday. He shot 5-of-11 from the field and 4-of-9 from the line.

Our View:Howard was coming off a low-scoring night against Yao Ming on Tuesday, and he may have been a bit worn down. He was still able to grab 13 rebounds, so we shouldn't label the game as a complete disappointment.
April 6, 2009
Dwight Howard has been named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week, according to the Sports Network. Howard averaged 23.7 points, a league-high 15.3 boards and 2.3 blocks last week while leading the Magic to a 3-1 record.

Our View:The elite center earned the weekly honor for the second straight week, and the fourth time this season.
April 4, 2009
Dwight Howard posted 21 points, 23 rebounds, five assists, four blocks, and three steals as the Magic defeated the Hawks 88-82 on Saturday. The big man hit 9-of-12 from the free-throw line.

Our View:Just another dominant game from one of the game's best. While he can be a category killer regarding free-throw percentage, his extreme positives far outweigh his negatives. He is among the most fun of all players to own in fantasy thanks to dominant lines such as tonight's. Howard has 23 20-20 games since 2004-05. Kevin Garnett is second in that time frame with eight.
April 3, 2009
Dwight Howard collected another double-double Friday against Cleveland. He finished Orlando's big 116-87 win with 20 points and 11 rebounds.

Our View:That's now seven double-doubles in 10 games for the big fella. He also shot 8-of-13 from the floor, marking the 11th time in the last 13 games he has shot better than 60 percent. But I suppose it shouldn't be that hard when three-fourths of your attempts are within two feet of the rim.
April 1, 2009
Dwight Howard did everything he could on Wednesday, but it wasn't enough as the Magic fell to the Raptors 99-95. He exploded for 30 points and had nine rebounds as well.

Our View:This is the first time Howard scored 30 or more points since February 22nd. It is the kind of day his fantasy owners were waiting for.
March 30, 2009
Dwight Howard was responsible for 22 points and 18 rebounds as the Magic beat the Heat 101-95 on Monday. He became the youngest player to reach 5,000 rebounds for his career, surpassing Wilt Chamberlain's mark by nearly two years. For the game was 8-for-11 from the field and 6-of-9 from the line.

Our View:Howard also had five more turnovers and he remains one of the few players in the league to make more than three turnovers per game. Fantasy owners can certainly live with it as long as he continues to lead the league in rebounds and blocks.
March 25, 2009
Dwight Howard stepped up in a big way as he accounted for 24 points, 21 rebounds, four blocks, and two steals in the Magic's 84-82 win on Wednesday. He hit 11-of-18 from the field while limiting his turnovers to just two.

Our View:Howard only went to the line four times, which probably will not be the case if these two teams meet in the playoffs. Also, Kevin Garnett only played 17 minutes in the game as he is being limited following his knee injury. It's good to see Howard step up in a big game, but it won't come nearly as easy in the playoffs. The Magic are now tied with the Celtics for the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference.
March 23, 2009
Dwight Howard played 41 minutes against the Knicks on Monday night. He finished Orlando's 106-102 road win with 14 rebounds and a game-high 29 points.

March 18, 2009
Dwight Howard had 28 points and 12 rebounds in the Magic's crushing defeat of the Bucks. He tacked on seven assists as well.

Our View:Howard looked more like himself on Wednesday as he upped his point total significantly and had a solid all around game. He's the main reason the Magic dominated and he was more accurate from the field going 8-for-13.
March 17, 2009
Dwight Howard had 15 rebounds and six blocked shots, but only 13 points Tuesday as he attempted only 8 shots all game and none in the fourth quarter.

Our View:Superman was less than super on Tuesday. He didn't elect to shoot very often and was called for a costly three-second lane violation in the fourth quarter.
March 15, 2009
Dwight Howard scored 28 points, grabbed 20 rebounds, and blocked three shots in 35 minutes of action as the Magic beat the Jazz 105-87 on Sunday. While going 10-of-15 from the field, he was only 8-of-17 from the line and committed seven turnovers.

Our View:Howard is his own ying to his yang. While dominating the league in rebounds and blocked shots, he remains mostly terrible with his free-throw shooting and turnovers. Overall, he is a nice fantasy option, but not as good as he initially appears to be.
March 13, 2009
Dwight Howard shot 6-of-9 from the floor and scored 18 points in Orlando's 112-103 road win at Washington Friday night. He also added a game-high 13 rebounds.

Our View:Despite scoring a very pedestrian 33 points over his last two games, Howard has drained 75 percent of his 16 field-goal attempts.
March 11, 2009
Dwight Howard played only 22 minutes, but finished with 15 points, nine rebounds, and three blocks, while shooting 6-of-7 from the field and the Magic crushed the Bulls 107-79 on Wednesday.

Our View:The Magic simply did not need their star much in this game. Howard put up a nice line given all the rest he got. Hopefully, he will benefit from it in their next game.
March 9, 2009
Dwight Howard posted another solid game on Monday, finishing with 27 points, 14 rebounds, four blocks, and two assists.

March 8, 2009

March 6, 2009
Dwight Howard led all scorers with 26 points and pulled down 15 boards in Orlando's 105-102 win over New Jersey at Amway Arena.

Our View:Howard returned to his usual dominant self after scoring 32 points and gathering 16 rebounds in his last two games combined.
