Heat's Amar'e Stoudemire: Non-factor in Game 4 start

Stoudemire scored six points (2-3 FG, 2-2 FT) to go along with three rebounds and a steal in 12 minutes during Monday's 94-87 overtime win over the Raptors in Game 4 of the series.

Analysis:

The veteran made his first start of the postseason with Hassan Whiteside (knee) sidelined, but with the Raptors missing their own starting center in Jonas Valanciunas (ankle), both teams resorted to smaller lineups for long stretches. Stoudemire could still have a role to play in the series if Whiteside continues to sit, but the possibility of limited minutes caps his upside.
