Whiteside scored 18 points (9-16 FG, 0-4 FT), pulled down 14 boards, and had four blocks in 31 minutes against the Magic on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

With Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh both gone, Whiteside is expected to take on a bigger role for the Heat. Although, given that he only made 65 percent of his free throws last season, the fact Whiteside missed all four he took in this game is not a good start.
