First Star
Hassan Whiteside (MIA) 23.9
Whiteside is tied for the team-lead with 38 Five Star appearances this season, and this is his 13th First Star performance of the year. Coming on in relief off the bench, he scored 24 points with 14 rebounds (five offensive) and three blocked shots in 30:17. He made 10-of-11 from the field and four-of-six from the line, with a steal and a plus-13 rating on the night.
