Whiteside scored 23 points (8-14 FG, 7-12 FT) with 18 rebounds, two blocks, one assist and one steal across 36 minutes in Monday's 124-121 overtime win against the Cavs.

EDGE Analysis

With Tristan Thompson sitting out again the Cavs really didn't have an answer for Whiteside in the paint and he took advantage by posting his sixth straight double-double. With the win Monday the Heat remain in the hunt for the playoffs, which means Whiteside will be going all out in the final game of the season against the Wizards on Wednesday.

Whiteside contributed 30 points (12-19 FG, 6-9 FT), 12 rebounds, three blocks, two steals and two assists across 37 minutes during Saturday's 106-103 victory over the Wizards.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteside recorded 30 points for the first time since Feb. 4 against the 76ers, making easy work of the Wizards' frontline. He also recorded combined five steals and blocks Saturday, doing so for the first time since March 21 against the Suns. He continues to be one of the most reliable big man sources of double-doubles and defensive statistics, averaging 16.6 points, 14.1 rebounds, 2.1 blocks and 0.7 steals per game. He can seemingly be employed in nearly every format safely, regardless of matchup.

Whiteside posted 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-3 FT), 20 rebounds, three blocks and one steal across 31 minutes in a 112-99 win over the Hornets on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteside took advantage of Charlotte's rotation of smaller bigs all night on the glass on the way to his seventh game with at least 20 rebounds this season. The springy center also recorded above his season average for blocks for the third time in his last four games. There's no sign that Whiteside will slow down his pace as the Heat continue to duke it out for one the Eastern Conference's final playoff spots, and fantasy owners in all formats can play him confidently at least until that changes.

Whiteside recorded 16 points (6-12 FG, 4-6 FT), 12 rebounds, three blocks and two assists across 33 minutes during Sunday's 116-113 loss to the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteside had his hands full with Niokla Jokic and the rest of the Denver frontcourt, but he managed to record yet another double-double while exceeding his season average for blocks. He also continued a recent trend of improved free throw shooting and has now knocked down 78 percent of his foul shots over the last 12 games. Whiteside continues to provide elite fantasy production at the center position and should continue to do so as Miami battles for their playoff lives down the stretch.

Whiteside finished with 17 points (6-9 FG, 5-7 FT) with 16 rebounds and two blocked shots across 34 minutes in Friday's 98-94 loss against the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteside started a new double-double streak after foul trouble kept him from reaching the level in each of the past two outings. The center also has managed at least one blocked shot in 34 consecutive outings dating back to Jan. 19.

Whiteside posted 11 points (5-11 FG, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, four blocked shots and one assist in Wednesday's 105-88 win over the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteside got in a bit of foul trouble early and while stats like nine rebounds and four blocked shots are nothing to sneeze at, he snapped a 15-game streak of double-doubles, falling one rebound short. Whiteside's off-night certainly frustrated DFS owners on Wednesday, but if you own him in season-long leagues he has been dependable in all formats, and he's rewarded you handsomely if you stuck with him in spite of Miami's early troubles. Keep him in your weekly lineups as his usage and production should stay consistent as Miami makes a last push for the playoffs.

Whiteside (ankle) has been cleared to play in Sunday's matchup with the Celtics, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteside suffered a minor left ankle sprain during Thursday's game against the Raptors, but it was never expected to be serious enough to keep him on the sidelines. Look for Whiteside to remain in the starting lineup at center and see his full complement of minutes on Sunday, so fantasy owners can keep the big man activated in all leagues.

Whiteside (ankle) said he expects to play Sunday against Boston, Shandel Richardson of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteside sustained the injury during Thursday's loss to Toronto, but he's since downplayed the severity of the sprain, and at this point his availability doesn't look to be in much jeopardy. That said, the big man sat out practice Saturday, so it's best to wait until the team officially updates his status at Sunday's shootaround.

Whiteside (finger) tallied 16 points (6-10 FG, 4-5 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 30 minutes before exiting with a left ankle sprain during Thursday's 101-84 loss to the Raptors.

EDGE Analysis

Despite playing with limited use of his right hand due to needing 13 stitches in his finger, Whiteside played up to his season averages. He also sprained his ankle during the game, though apparently believes it's not serious enough to keep him sidelined for Sunday's tilt against the Celtics, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Regardless, he should be considered questionable for Sunday until further notice.

Whiteside (finger) will start at center for Thursday's tilt against the Raptors.

EDGE Analysis

Despite having limited use of his right hand due to smashing his fingers into the bottom of the backboard late in Tuesday's game, requiring stitches, Whiteside will play during Thursday's game. It's unclear if he'll play a full workload, or if he'll be effective, but it's an encouraging sign for the team that he's able to give it a go. His condition makes him an especially risky play in DFS.
