News
Mavericks coach Avery Johnson told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram to expect forward Josh Howard, who played the second-most minutes on the team last year, to play extensively this season. The team plans to use a rotation of Jerry Stackhouse, Marquis Daniels and Doug Christie when Howard is not in the game.

Howard has had tremendous potential ever since he was drafted out of Wake Forest in 2003. Last season, his numbers improved with a significant increase in playing time, especially steal totals that placed him among the top-20 players in the league. Fantasy owners should expect that trend could continue this season, so don't hesitate to take a chance on this sleeper.
