? Houston center Dwight Howard is expected to play tonight after missing the previous three games. Howard has been resting since having a cyst and fluid removed from his left ankle. "He's a go right now," Houston coach Kevin McHale said before the game. The Rockets haven't missed a beat with Howard out of the lineup having won three straight. Omer Asik filled in for Howard in the Rockets starting lineup and will move back to the second unit now. "There aren't many people who can do what he does on the defensive end," Charlotte coach Steve Clifford said. The Bobcats are concerned about how Howard might impact the game on both ends of the floor tonight. "He can be a real game changer."
