Whiteside had 21 points (7-13 FG, 7-9 FT), 12 rebounds and three blocks in 35 minutes during Portland's 124-113 win over Atlanta on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
It was Whiteside's fifth straight double-double, and he has either scored in double figures or grabbed 10-plus rebounds in all but one game this season. He will aim to extend his solid run of play Tuesday at Sacramento.

Whiteside will be available for Sunday's game against the Hawks, Casey Holdahl of TrailBlazers.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Whiteside was questionable coming in with a sprained foot, and the Blazers will be thankful that the big man is available as they continue to play without Zach Collins (shoulder). Whiteside saw 34 minutes of action Friday against Brooklyn, finishing with 10 points, 15 rebounds and five blocks.

Whiteside is questionable for Sunday's game against the Hawks due to a foot sprain, Jason Quick of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Whiteside seemingly suffered the injury during Friday's loss to the Nets, though he played 34 minutes and posted 10 points, 15 rebounds, five blocks and one assist. If he's unable to play Sunday, Skal Labissiere (ankle) and Anthony Tolliver could see expanded roles.

Whiteside posted 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-2 FT), 15 rebounds, five blocks and an assist in 34 minutes Friday against Brooklyn.
EDGE Analysis
Whiteside swatted a season-high five shots while notching his fifth double-double of the season in the loss. The veteran center continues to be a boon for fantasy owners, though there is a noticeable difference between his fantasy production and real-life play. That aside, Whiteside appears to be rejuvenated in his first year in Portland and is amassing 14.1 points, 13.3 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game so far this season -- all of which mark three-year highs.

Whiteside posted 17 points (7-18 FG, 3-4 FT), 19 rebounds, two blocks, an assist and a steal in 27 minutes Thursday against the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Despite struggling with his shot for much of the night, Whiteside approached a 20-20 and managed to contribute in every category except threes. The veteran center appears to be adjusting to Portland quite well and has seen between 24-and-28 minutes in each of his seven appearances so far this season. While Whiteside's 1.3 average blocks per game are his fewest since 2011, he's providing exemplary offense, making a career-high 66.0 percent of his shots from the field as well as 69.6 percent of his shots from the charity stripe so far this year.

Whiteside (knee) registered 22 points (10-14 FG, 2-5 FT), 11 rebounds and two blocks in 28 minutes Monday in the Trail Blazers' 127-118 loss to the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
After sitting out the Blazers' one-point loss to the 76ers on Saturday, Whiteside checked back into the starting five and played his most minutes of the season en route to notching his third double-double. With Zach Collins (shoulder) out indefinitely following surgery and Pau Gasol (foot) without a clear timeline to resume playing, Whiteside could take on as many minutes as he can handle for the foreseeable future.

Whiteside (knee) has been cleared to play Monday against Golden State, Joe Freeman of The Oregonian reports.
EDGE Analysis
Whiteside was considered probable leading up to tipoff, so this isn't shocking news. He's averaging 12.8 points, 12.2 rebounds and 1.2 blocks over five games this season.

Whiteside (knee) is expected to play in Monday's game against the Warriors, Casey Holdahl of TrailBlazers.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Whiteside missed Saturday's narrow loss to the Sixers with a sore knee, but the initial injury report foreshadows a return to the court Monday night. With Zach Collins (shoulder) out several weeks, Whiteside end up in a slightly increased role so long as the Gonzaga product is on the shelf.

Whiteside (knee) is out for Saturday's matchup against the 76ers, Mike Richman of The Oregonian reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Blazers will be especially thin in the frontcourt without Whiteside or Zach Collins (shoulder). As a result, Skal Labissiere, Anthony Tolliver and Mario Hezonja could see expanded roles.

Whiteside did not practice Friday due to a sore knee and is questionable for Saturday's matchup against the 76ers, Sean Highkin of Bleacher Report reports.
EDGE Analysis
Whiteside has been a stable force down low for the Blazers, averaging 12.8 points, 12.2 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 25.4 minutes. Portland's frontcourt is already thin with Zach Collins (shoulder) out, but it will be even thinner if Whiteside has to take Friday's game off. In that case, Skal Labissiere and Mario Hezonja could be thrust into larger roles.
