ANALYSIS: It is important to note that should Dwight Howard go, he is absolutely the number one play on the board because he is playing the Lakers. That being said, I do not expect Howard to suit up- because let’s face it, he’s still Dwight Howard- so Whiteside will be the autoplay here.
You get the feeling this is the type of game where he triple-doubles again with blocks. The guard situation is a mess for the Heat and they’ll need someone else to score, so Whiteside could even add some offense to his repertoire. But the big upside today is the blocks against a team in Oklahoma City that loves to drive to the rim.
