Dwight Howard Suspended for Tuesday's Game vs Heat

Houston Rockets center Dwight Howard made contact with an official during the team's game against the Washington WIzards on Saturday. 

It's an automatic suspension when a player makes contact with an official, so this shouldn't come as much of a surprise. Howard and Wizards big man Nene got into a spat during Saturday's game, at which point Howard pushed down the arm of official Mitchell Ervin. 

Howard also now leads the NBA with 12 technical fouls this season. That's something to keep an eye on moving forward. A few more technicals and he will automatically find himself suspended again. 

With Howard out of action Tuesday against the Miami Heat, Clint Capela should see extended minutes. Capela has failed to put up as much as 20 fantasy points in each of his past five games after reaching that total in his previous three games. With extended minutes, he becomes a solid value add at just $4,400.
