With the Dallas Mavericks, the forward-center was the fourth option offensively. But while looking at his new team's roster, Howard realized he instantly had become the top scoring option.

Denver's new go-to guy scored a game-high 28 points in his home debut, but it wasn't enough to keep the Nuggets from tying a season-high five-game losing streak Sunday night with an 89-84 loss to the Atlanta Hawks at the Pepsi Center.
