Whiteside went for 15 points (6-11 FG, 3-8 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, three steals, and three blocks in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 102-101 win over the 76ers.
EDGE Analysis
Whiteside posted his 24th double-double through 42 appearances this season, and he contributed in every category except threes. He finishes the month of February on a high note, going for a double-double in seven of the last eight games.

Whiteside had 19 points (9-12 FG, 1-6 FT), 16 rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in 33 minutes during Friday's 124-123 loss to New Orleans.
EDGE Analysis
Whiteside had a nice outing Friday, finishing with a strong 19 and 16 double-double. His minutes have been consistent over the past few games, however, the return of Kelly Olynyk (shoulder) could have an impact. Whiteside managed just 1-of-6 from the free-throw line. While this could be a bit of an outlier, he has gone on late-season runs of poor free-throw shooting prior to this season.

Whiteside produced 10 points (5-9 FG), 10 rebounds, two steals, an assist and a blocked shot in 23 minutes during Tuesday's 115-112 loss to the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
Whiteside has just kept chugging along with double-doubles since he overcame his injury in late December, and though it took him some time to get to 100 percent, he's put together a whopping 13 double-doubles since January 3rd. He's quite conspicuously under-owned in DFS formats, but there's no question that he has significant value as a mid-tier center.

Whiteside tallied 12 points (6-14 FG), 16 rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block across 26 minutes in Friday's 91-85 win over the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
Whiteside's foul trouble limited his overall minutes total, but he still churned out his third straight double-double. The 28-year-old rim protector has been heavily involved on the offensive end during that stretch, putting up between 14 and 16 shot attempts in each of those games. As long as he retains that level of involvement, he remains easily capable of a double-double -- as well as multiple blocks -- on any given night.

Whiteside scored 16 points (7-16 FG, 2-3 FT) to go along with 17 rebounds and one assist across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 109-101 loss to the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
Whiteside posted his highest rebounding total since Nov. 15 and finished third on the team in scoring to round out his second straight double-double. He turned out two poor performance prior to missing Saturday's game due to an illness, but averages of 17.5 points and 15.5 rebounds per game in two subsequent contests indicate that he's back up to speed.

Whiteside scored 19 points (8-16 FG, 3-5 FT) while adding 14 rebounds and an assist in only 23 minutes during Monday's 111-109 loss to the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
After missing Saturday's game with an illness, Whiteside returned to action and recorded his 19th double-double in 35 games on the season. Look for his minutes to creep back towards 30 a night now that he's 100 percent again, especially with Kelly Olynyk having injured his shoulder Monday.

Whiteside (illness) will play Monday against the Magic, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Whiteside is set to return to action after missing Saturday's game against the Pistons. The big man, who is averaging 14.1 points, 11.7 rebounds and 1.8 blocks across 25.6 minutes per game this season, should immediately reclaim his spot in the Heat's starting lineup, sending either Kelly Olynyk or Bam Adebayo to the bench as a result.

Whiteside (illness) is expected to play Monday against the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
While Whiteside was held out of shootaround, coach Erik Spoelstra indicated that the team is simply getting him some extra rest as he works through an illness. "The plan is for him to get a little more rest and come back tonight," Spoelstra told the media at shootaround. Assuming that is, indeed, the case, expect Whiteside to be back in the starting lineup, displacing either Kelly Olynyk or Bam Adebayo, who both drew starts Saturday in Detroit.

The Heat are listing Whiteside (illness) as questionable for Monday's game against the Heat, Tom D'Angelo of The Palm Beach Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Whiteside played through the stomach flu Friday against the 76ers before sitting out the second half of the back-to-back set in Saturday's 111-107 loss to the Pistons. It's unclear if Whiteside has made much notable progress in his recovery from the stomach bug since that time, but the Heat should have an update on his situation one way or the other following Monday's morning shootaround. If Whiteside can't play, Kelly Olynyk and Bam Adebayo could once again form the Heat's starting frontcourt tandem, with both players enjoying minutes boosts as a result.

Whiteside (illness) will not play in Saturday's tilt versus the Pistons, Tom D'Angelo of The Palm Beach Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Whiteside left Friday's loss to the 76ers early because he was under the weather, and will now miss Saturday's contest for the same reason. With the big man only seeing 19 minutes in the victory, rookie Bam Adebayo had a big night, and figures to be in for another healthy workload Saturday. Whiteside's next opportunity to play will be Monday against the Magic.
