Heat's Dion Waiters: Leads team in scoring upon return from injury

Waiters (ankle) scored 23 points (10-19 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT) to go along with six assists, two rebounds and two steals across 34 minutes during Monday's 116-107 loss to the Magic.

Analysis:

Waiters missed the past three game with an ankle injury, but he didn't skip a beat in his return, leading the team in scoring thanks to an efficient shooting performance. While the Heat need Waiters to score the ball, his playmaking has been useful as well of late, as he has averaged 6.2 assists per game over his last six.
