Dwight Howard: Will rest Saturday

Howard has played 24 consecutive games, and the Rockets are playing in the
second night of a back-to-back. Thus, it is unsurprising that the veteran big
man may be feeling a little worn down. The newly acquired Ersan Ilyasova figures
to be the likely option to slide replace Howard in the starting frontcourt, and
Mike Muscala should see a bump in minutes as well. Expect Howard to return
Monday against the Spurs.
