Dwight Howard (hip) has been tagged as probable for Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The Lakers are likely to be without two of their big three, so Howard should be asked to step up. He looked fantastic against the 76ers and nearly had a double-double in his last game. He'll certainly be a streaming option with
Russell Westbrook and
Malik Monk likely being the only other decent scorers on the team.

Talen Horton-Tucker and center
Dwight Howard have cleared the league's protocols. That means, both players are available for Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Horton-Tucker should immediately move into the starting five with the Lakers shorthanded. He'll have plenty of streaming appeal and DFS value for this one. Also, Howard should have a significant role with
Anthony Davis (knee) sidelined. Although, his upside isn't as high as Horton-Tucker.

Dwight Howard (neck) has been listed as questionable to play in Thursday's game against the Thunder due to a neck ailment. Howard has been sidelined for the team's previous two contests, paving the way for the Lakers to deploy
Anthony Davis as their starting center. Howard has logged just 15.2 minutes per contest to begin the season, not nearly enough to earn him a roster spot in season-long fantasy formats. Barring an absence from Davis, Howard remains on the periphery of DFS relevance, but his ailment could funnel a larger role to
DeAndre Jordan in the short term.
