Hassan Whiteside - Miami Heat
The Miami Heat are hovering around the playoff region in the Eastern Conference, partly, in thanks, to their center, Hassan Whiteside. Last night's stats included 21 points, 18 rebounds, and a steal in the 115-109 home win against the Wizards.

D'Angelo Russell - Brooklyn Nets
It seems tough to imagine, that a season or so ago, the Los Angeles Lakers dealt Russell to the Brooklyn Nets so they would have room for Lonzo Ball as the future point guard. Now, Russell is doing his thing in Brooklyn, and doing it well. He scored 23 points, dished 10 assists, and had four rebounds, as his team beat the Grizzlies in Memphis.
D'Angelo Russell's double-double fuels the @BrooklynNets past the Grizzlies! 🏀
