Dwight Howard is continuing to look like his old, healthy self over the start of his 2016 - 17 campaign. Following his 23 - points, 20 - rebound performance on Wednesday, he is averaging 15 points and and 13 rebounds per game with 11 double - doubles through 11 games. However, the most telling stat of Howard's presence in his first season with Atlanta is how much he has improved the team's overall rebounding, as they currently rank seventh in the NBA in rebounds per game after finishing as the third - worst rebounding team last season. On the other side, the return of Indiana's star Paul George from an ankle injury did not help their recent offensive woes. After shooting just 32 percent and scoring 83 points against the Warriors on Monday, the team shot 40 percent en route to scoring just 85 points against the Hawks. Between George shooting 6 - of - 22 and starting point guard Jeff Teague shooting 5 - of - 15 from the field, the Pacers did n't have much of a chance to keep up with Atlanta offensively on Wednesday.
