Dwight Howard is expected to be named the 2010-11 Defensive Player of the Year this afternoon.

The team has called for a "major" announcement at the Amway Center for 1:30 EST this afternoon, and Howard is expected to win his third consecutive DPOY award in a landslide. The other top candidates were Andre Iguodala, Grant Hill and Keith Bogans, so it's not exactly surprising that Howard came out on top.
