Whiteside finished with 13 points (6-12 FG, 1-7 FT), 16 rebounds, and four blocks in 28 minutes during the Heat's 112-109 loss to the Magic on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteside had a solid statistical showing on Friday, but allowed the Magic's Nikola Vucevic to eat well on offense. Whiteside also missed enough free throws to turn the tide of the game all by himself, and Sunday's quick rematch should provide him with ample motivation for revenge against Vucevic and Orlando. Furthermore, home-court advantage in the first round is very much up for grabs, so the Heat are unlikely to rest their regulars down the stretch.
