EDGE Analysis

Whiteside righted the ship after struggling to impact the game against Dallas on Thursday. The seven-foot Whiteside wrestled the Bucks' big men away from the rim, and earned himself free reign around the vital painted area. He consistently challenged shots, and even unsuccessfully went up to stuff a Giannis Antetokounmpo baseline dunk. More often than not, it seems, Whiteside is just chasing statistics, but he brought important physicality on Saturday which the Heat leveraged into a win.
