Despite the lack of success for his team, Hassan Whiteside continues to be a one - man wrecking crew in the paint, as his 23 - point, 17 - rebound performance on Monday against the Spurs was his fifth game this season with at least 20 points and 15 rebounds and was also his eighth double - double in nine games. Whiteside is also the only player in the NBA currently averaging at least 17 points and 14 rebounds per game. Whiteside's unbelievably productive start to the 2016 - 17 season is big reason as to why the Heat are ranked in the top 10 in the NBA in points in the paint. While Whiteside's start has n't led to positive team results, the play of Spurs' star Kawhi Leonard has. With 24 points and 12 rebounds on Monday, Leonard led the team in both points and rebounds. And this should n't come as a surprise despite the fact that Leonard plays alongside both LaMarcus Aldridge and Paul Gasol, as this is already the third time this season the small forward has led the team in both categories.
