With the kind of talent Hassan Whiteside has, the sky is the limit for him. However, the 29-year-old has been struggling this season and is receiving a lot of criticism from the fans. It is noteworthy to mention that the center signed a four-year, $98 million deal after the end of 2015-16 season and is currently in his third year into the contract.

Against the Wizards, Whiteside turned the tables and completely dominated with his strong performance. He scored 21 points and snagged 18 rebounds to put together a double-double. He also outplayed the Wizards' rim protector, Thomas Bryant.

It was Whiteside who kept the Heat alive in this close game. He also accumulated a steal and blocked two shots on the night.
