EDGE Analysis

Whiteside flexed his muscles at Jonas Valanciunas, getting hit with an ejection for his efforts. The star center finished with 16 points (6-8 FG, 4-8 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 34 minutes on the night. Barring any further punishment, he should make a full return Friday against New Orleans.
