Whiteside recorded 22 points (10-13 FG, 2-5 FT0, 16 rebounds, , two assists, a steal and a block in 31 minutes during Wednesday's loss to the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

THis was Whiteside's first double-double in his past five games, and his highest scoring output since December 2nd. The veteran center's steadily lost minutes to Bam Adebayo as the season progresses, but is still capable of statistical explosions from time-to-time. Over his last five games, Whiteside's averaging 12.2 points, 10.4 rebounds and 1.6 blocks in 24.2 minutes per game, all of which are slightly below his season averages.

Whiteside (illness) is not on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteside missed Saturday's game against the Grizzlies due to an illness, but he's apparently feeling well enough to rejoin the fold for Tuesday's matchup against Milwaukee. The big man is averaging 12.7 points, 12.5 rebounds and 2.5 blocks in 26.0 minutes this season and should immediately reclaim his role in the starting lineup.

Whiteside is listed as out for Saturday's game against the Grizzlies due to illness.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteside evidently picked up the sickness over the last day or so, as he looked logged 21 minutes in Thursday's matchup with Boston. This will be a big loss for the Heat, who will likely turn to Bam Adebayo and Kelly Olynyk to pick up the slack at center in Whiteside's absence.

Whiteside tallied 21 points (9-13 FG, 3-5 FT), 18 rebounds, a steal and two blocks across 30 minutes Friday against the Wizards.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteside was unstoppable on the boards yet again, recording his third straight game of 12-plus rebounds. He also notched his best scoring total since Dec. 2, when he put up 23 points against the Jazz. The Marshall product should continue to be a force down low, and his efficient shooting over his previous five contests should also excite fantasy owners (58.0 percent from the field).

Whiteside finished Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers with eight points (4-8 FG), 12 rebounds and a block across 23 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteside has been held to just eight points in both of his last two games, although he's made up for it by racking up 25 rebounds over that brief span. He's also notched at least one block in each of his five matchups. Whiteside is averaging 13.0 points across 30 games this season, so his point production is expected to pick up again sometime soon.

Whiteside (hip) went through morning shootaround Friday and is expected to play against Cleveland, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteside, who was limited in practice Thursday with a hip pointer, appears to have not suffered any setbacks during morning shootaround and therefore, is expected to play in Friday's matchup against the Cavaliers. So far this season, Whiteside is dropping 13.3 points and 13.1 rebounds over 28 games played.

Whiteside is dealing with a hip pointer, which limited him during Thursday's practice, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteside's availability is unclear for Friday's game against the Cavaliers. Though he's dealing with an injury, it's encouraging Whiteside was able to participate in limited portions of practice. If he ends up being sidelined, Bam Adebayo and Kelly Olynyk are strong candidates to see upticks in workload and usage.

Whiteside tallied nine points (4-8 FG, 1-4 FT), 17 rebounds, two assists, and two steals in 24 minutes during Thursday's 101-99 victory over Houston.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteside failed to record a block for the first time this season but added a game-high 17 rebounds in the victory. He and Clint Capela basically canceled each other out on the offensive end of the floor which limited the playing time of both players. Despite the ongoing free-throw concerns, Whiteside is having a nice season and as long as he can stay healthy, should be able to hang around top 70 value in standard formats.

Whiteside tallied 17 points (8-14 FG, 1-3 FT), 12 rebounds and three blocks across 23 minutes in the Heat's 102-96 win over the Pelicans on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteside's efforts were an ideal complement to those of Josh Richardson's, and his double-double was his first since Dec. 2. The big man had recently missed four games due to the birth of his child, and he's yet to return to a full complement of minutes. However, is production Sunday was a study in efficiency, given his modest amount of time on the court, and it represented a considerable improvement of the six-point, seven-rebound tally he'd mustered versus the Grizzlies on Friday night in his first game back.

Whiteside (personal) will rejoin the Heat for Friday's tilt with the Grizzlies, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteside, who will miss four games after the birth of his child, will rejoin the Heat for Friday's game at Memphis. It's very likely he'll jump right back into his usual starting role, forcing Bam Adebayo back to the bench.
