Josh Howard (sinus infection) practiced and will start on Wednesday. No surprise here. Howard was expected to play despite the illness and Tyrone Corbin said he'll remain a starter for the "foreseeable future." Owners looking for a free agent pickup off the waiver wire could certainly do worse, but Howard's lack of peripheral production limits his upside.

Tyrone Corbin said that he'll keep the same starting wings for the "foreseeable future." That means Howard is locked into a starting role alongside Raja Bell with Gordon Hayward acting as the sixth man. In 10 games as a starter this season, Howard is averaging 12.8 points, 5.9 rebounds and 0.9 steals on 46.6 percent shooting.

Josh Howard (sinus infection) won't practice on Tuesday. Howard remained in the starting lineup on Monday despite Raja Bell (adductor) returning. He had 14 points, five rebounds and two steals, but his health is always an issue. Despite missing practice, Howard is fully expected to play on Wednesday against the Bobcats.

Josh Howard started with Raja Bell (adductor) back in the lineup on Monday, scoring 14 points on 6-of-14 shooting with five rebounds, one assist, and two steals in 26 minutes. The decision to move Gordon Hayward to the second unit might be good news for both Hayward and Howard, so owners can feel relatively good that Howard's production won't be an issue going forward. His health, on the other hand, is well-documented here and a total question mark.

Josh Howard started again on Friday against the Heat, scoring 10 points on 4-of-15 shooting with nine rebounds, two assists, two steals, and a block in 40 minutes. As long as Howard is starting he's worth owning in 12-team formats, as long as owners are clear that his next injury is always one game away.

Josh Howard started again and had 14 points, seven rebounds, three assists and a steal on 6-of-12 shooting in Wednesday's easy win over the Rockets. Howard is worth a pickup in most leagues now that he's starting, but his next injury is always just around the corner.

Josh Howard started again Tuesday and hit 7-of-12 shots and a 3-pointer on his way to 15 points, seven rebounds, three assists and two steals in a loss to the Kings. Howard is finally healthy and starting, and looks like a great add in most leagues. He'll likely be hurt again at some point, but picking him up and riding him until he goes down is a sound game plan.

Coach Tyrone Corbin said he'll spend the All-Star break considering whether to permanently move Josh Howard into the starting lineup. Raja Bell (abductor, day-to-day) would head to the bench and Gordon Hayward would start at shooting guard if the move is made. Howard has started five games on the year, averaging 13.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 0.6 3-pointers in that role. It's certainly a situation to monitor.

Josh Howard started again for Raja Bell (strained adductor) and scored a season-high 19 points to go along with six rebounds, a steal and a 3-pointer on 8-of-15 shooting in Wednesday's tough loss to the Wolves. Howard might have won the starting job with tonight's performance, and is finally healthy. His next injury could be just around the corner, but if he does continue to start, he'll be worth a pickup in most leagues.
