Howard had a strong game Thursday just two days after suffering a sprained knee. He finished with 19 points (8-11 FG, 3-7 FT), 17 rebounds, and two steals over 40 minutes against Golden State. Howard was a game-time decision heading into Thursday's game, but was able to give it a go and remained in the starting lineup. Not only were his numbers impressive, but the fact that he was able to stay on the floor for 40 minutes indicates that his knee injury isn't a major concern. Howard has posted monster double doubles in four of his last five games and is averaging 16.4 points and 16.2 boards over that span.
