Rockets center Dwight Howard, right, sits on the bench with his knee wrapped during the second half of Game 1 of the Western Conference finals against the Warriors.

Dwight Howard believes that he’s close to being ready to go, but according to teammate James Harden the team’s game plan will remain the same regardless of whether the dominating center takes the floor in Game 2.

Howard, who suffered a sprained knee during the Rockets’ 110-106 Game 1 loss when teammate Josh Smith fell on him, is listed as questionable heading into Thursday night’s game.
