EDGE Analysis
Whiteside has been on a tear of late, swatting five shots in back-to-back games while averaging an insane 4.2 blocks per game over his last six outings. He is also scoring 16.0 points and grabbing 13.2 rebounds per game over that span, and he will aim to extend this strong run of play Thursday at Denver.

Whiteside amassed 14 points (6-8 FG, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, five blocks and three assists in 31 minutes Sunday against Oklahoma City.
EDGE Analysis
Whiteside swatted five shots while generating his fourth-straight double-double. He's found his passing touch of late, having now handed out 12 dimes over his past three appearances. Though his high-level passing is unlikely to continue, Whiteside has thrived statistically in his first year in Portland. Through 21 games, he's averaging 15.3 points, 12.4 rebounds and 2.2 blocks while shooting 60.8 percent from the field and a career-best 75.3 percent from the line in 28.2 minutes.

Whiteside posted 18 points (8-12 FG, 2-3 FT), 13 rebounds and a block across 25 minutes in Tuesday's loss to the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Whiteside dropped his 11th double-double of the season, though the effort wasn't enough to staunch the Clippers' offensive attack. The veteran center's having a solid statistical season as he's scoring and rebounding his best rates since the 2016-17 season. Through 18 games, Whiteside's averaging 14.9 points, 12.4 rebounds and 2.1 blocks in 27.5 minutes.

Whiteside had eight points (4-11 FG, 0-3 FT), 15 boards, one assist, 10 blocks and one steal in 30 minutes of a 107-103 win against the Bulls on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Whiteside logged a double-double for the fourth consecutive game and 11th time this season, but he did it the hard way with a season high in blocks in the contest to give him achievement. Whiteside struggled shooting in the contest, but there were enough other options to pick up his slack. He'll face a tougher challenge next Tuesday against the Clippers.

Whiteside had 21 points (8-13 FG, 5-5 FT), 16 rebounds and one assist in 22 minutes during Wednesday's 136-119 win over the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Whiteside has racked up double-doubles at an impressive rate this season, as he has three in a row, four in his last five games, and seven in his last 10 outings. He is seventh in the league in boards per game with 12.3 per game, but his rate of 21.4 rebounds per 48 minutes ranks third in The Association.

Whiteside (hip) contributed 13 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, two steals and an assist during 23 minutes in the Trailblazers' 117-94 Monday night victory over the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
After missing the past two games with a hip issue, Whiteside got to take it easy as Portland pulled away after halftime. He is averaging a double-double for the seventh consecutive season while filling in admirably for Jusuf Nurkic (leg). With the latter expected to be sidelined until early spring, Whiteside should continue to stuff the stat sheet but is a constant sell-high candidate.

Whiteside stated that he'll play in Monday's game against Chicago, Jason Quick of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Whiteside appears determined to return from a two-game absence due to an unspecified right hip injury, though an official call has yet to be made by the team. With Whiteside exceedingly likely to play, Anthony Tolliver will presumably return to his usual spot on the second unit.

Whiteside (hip) is considered probable for Monday's game against the Bulls, Jason Quick of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Whiteside missed Saturday's game against the Cavs, as well as Thursday's matchup with the Bucks, due to a right hip issue, but the Blazers expect to get the big man back Monday night. If that is indeed the case, expect Whiteside to reclaim his starting center spot.

Whiteside (hip) will be held out of Saturday's game against Cleveland, Jason Quick of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Whiteside will miss a second-straight game due to a hip injury he sustained in Thursday's loss to Milwaukee. Look for Anthony Tolliver to start in his place with Skal Labissiere factoring in off the bench.

Whiteside (hip) is questionable for Saturday's game at Cleveland, Jason Quick of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Whiteside missed Thursday's loss to Milwaukee due to the right hip issue, but he may be able to limit the absence to one game. Anthony Tolliver would likely receive another start should Whiteside be unable to play.
