Stoudemire scored four points (2-2 FG) and grabbed a rebound in eight minutes during Tuesday's 102-96 overtime win over the Heat in Game 1 of the series.
EDGE Analysis
After being dropped from the rotation in the last three games, Stoudemire resurfaced off the bench as coach Erik Spoelstra attempted to slow down Raptors center Jonas Valanciunas, who went off for 24 points and 14 boards. Hassan Whiteside (39 minutes) still saw the bulk of the court time at center for the Heat, so don't count on Stoudemire's role expanding much from here.

Stoudemire (coach's decision) didn't play in Sunday's 118-96 win over the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
Stoudemire was dropped from the starting lineup following a 36-game run on the top unit, as coach Erik Spoelstra handed the starting duties at center back to Hassan Whiteside. The switch wasn't expected to result in a dramatic change in minutes for either player, as Whiteside had been dominating the court time at the position even while coming off the bench, but it was surprising that Stoudemire failed to see the floor Sunday. Now that he's back in a reserve role, Stoudemire may have to vie with Josh McRoberts and Udonis Haslem for a rotation spot.

Stoudemire will come off the bench for Sunday's game against the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
Stoudemire has seen his minutes decrease lately, now averaging just under 14 minutes over his last five games. Expect that trend to continue Sunday, as Hassan Whiteside will take over the starting center position. Stoudemire will return to the bench and will likely find it hard to see significant minutes, therefore limiting his fantasy upside.

Stoudemire piled on a season-high 16 points (6-8 FG, 4-4 FT) with nine rebounds and two blocks over just 15 minutes in Tuesday's 113-99 win against the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
Stoudemire looked like his old self by posting more than a point per minute in a blowout win on the road. He hasn't attempted many shots, but Amar'e is still shooting 68.4 percent from the field over 11 games in March. Don't expect much out of Stoudemire Wednesday against the Spurs, especially on such short rest.

Stoudemire tallied eight points (4-7 FG), seven rebounds, two assists, and one block across 22 minutes in Sunday's 98-81 win over the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
Stoudemire has started each of the last 16 games at center, as coach Erik Spoelstra seems to be fully invested in the idea of bringing Hassan Whiteside off the bench. Whiteside routinely sees more court time than Stoudemire despite coming off the bench, and that figures to continue limiting Stoudemire's upside both in daily and season-long formats. During his 16-start run, Stoudemire has scored double-digit points and recorded double-digit rebounds on just three occasions apiece.

Stoudemire will get the start Saturday against the Wizards, the Palm Beach Post's Jason Lieser reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hassan Whiteside will come off the bench after serving a suspension, so it is unclear how many minutes Stoudemire will see, but it will likely be much less run than a typical starter receives. He is always capable of scoring in double figures, but he is a very high variance play in daily leagues.

Stoudemire had two points (1-2 FG), eight rebounds, and one assist in 16 minutes during the Heat's 100-93 loss against the Clippers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Stoudmire continues to start alongside Chris Bosh despite Hassan Whiteside's return to the lineup a few games ago. It's unclear if this is something that will continue going forward for the remainder of the season, but it isn't resulting in Stoudemire seeing enough time to warrant much attention in fantasy.

Stoudemire will remain in the starting lineup for Sunday's matchup with the Clippers, Jason Lieser of the Palm Beach Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Heat will bring Hassan Whiteside off the bench for the third game in a row, as they continue to ease him back into action after his oblique injury. With that being said, Stoudemire will run with the starters again on Sunday. Stoudemire has seen just 17 and 16 minutes over his last two games respectively while Whiteside was available off the bench, so look for the Heat to keep his minutes in the mid-to-high teens again on Sunday. Stoudemire should eventually move back to a bench role when Whiteside has returned to full health.

Stoudemire had seven points (2-5 FG, 3-6 FT), five rebounds, and two blocks in 16 minutes during the Heat's 98-95 win over the Hornets on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran continues to start while Hassan Whiteside works his way back after a six-game absence with an oblique injury. Over the last five games, Stoudemire is averaging 10.4 points, eight rebounds, 1.8 blocks, and 0.4 steals in 20 minutes per contest--but in the last two games--both of which Whiteside played--Stoudmire saw a combined 33 minutes.

Stoudemire will start again Friday against the Hornets, Jason Lieser of the Palm Beach Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hassan Whiteside will come off the bench for the second straight game as he continues to work back toward full strength after missing six games with an oblique injury. As such, the veteran Stoudemire will remain in a starting role Friday, though he's unlikely to see more than 20-25 minutes. Whiteside figures to return to a starting role at some point, though coach Erik Spoelstra declined to elaborate on his plans for the center spot beyond Friday.
