NBA fans remain split on the contributions of 30-year-old Jordan, although he is consistently among the best rebounding players in the league. Jordan is currently averaging 13.6 rebounds per game, although his 2.5 offensive rebounds per game are his lowest tally since 2010.

Jordan's move to the Mavericks has resulted in his stats falling since last season, although he still remains among one the best three rebounders in the NBA.

Some NBA experts may question Whiteside's ability to lead the Heat, however, there is no doubting the stars ability to average a double-double on a yearly basis. The 29-year-old is currently matching his 2016 career high of 14.1 rebounds per game, and this figure is also a big increase on last years 11.4 RPG.

Whiteside is also helping his team to get second possessions on the offensive end, as is pulling down 4.2 offensive rebounds-per-game.

Andre Drummond's figure of 16.1 rebounds per game blows the rest of the league out of the water. His incredible rebounding ability has played a vital role in the Piston's good start to the season, and Drummond will surely earn a third All-Star appearance in the New Year.

When breaking down Drummonds stats, the 25-year-old is averaging 6.3 offensive rebounds per game, a tally which is significantly higher than anyone else in the NBA.
