Dwight Howard Explodes with 39 and 18 Line

Dwight Howard exploded Thursday night for 39 points, 18 rebounds, 2 blocks and a remarkable 17 free throws made out of 20 attempts.

Dwight Howard has been going absolutely bananas in six January games and has averaged 25.7 points and 15.3 rebounds which indicates that Dwight Howard may indeed have a couple more jumps in development to make.

Dwight Howard has now firmly placed himself as a 1st round talent despite the negative effect his poor free throw shooting can have on teams.

Head to head managers should have been drafting Howard in the 1st round this year, but his recent play should leave little doubt in the minds of fantasy basketball managers that taking that bad is worth it with Dwight Howard because the good is really good.

Dwight Howard seems to be more comfortable on the court with Hedo Turkoglu back in town and his numbers will reflect that as the season continues to progress.
