Whiteside recorded his second double-double in as many games Saturday against the Wizards, finishing with 18 points (8-9 FG, 2-3 FT), 14 rebounds and four blocks in 20 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Whiteside has revived himself the last two games, combining for 32 points, 24 rebounds and six blocks. It will be hard for Whiteside to keep up this pace in a backup role behind Rudy Gobert but he has certainly showed he can provide some late-round fantasy value on any given night. Whiteside still presents great risk in lineups given Saturday was just the second time all year he has eclipsed the 20-minute mark. The Jazz also have a three-game week coming up and don't play again until Wednesday, limiting the appeal for Whiteside as well.

Whiteside recorded 14 points (5-8 FG, 4-5 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 15 minutes during Thursday's 118-96 win over the 76ers.
EDGE Analysis
On a night where eight Utah players hit double-digit scoring, Whiteside joined the fun, recording his highest scoring total of the season. Thursday also marked his first double-double since mid-November. Whiteside had missed two games with groin soreness but returned to his typical role. He'll next take the court Saturday against the Wizards.

Whiteside (groin) is questionable for Thursday's game against the 76ers, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Whiteside has missed the last two games with a left glute contusion, but he has a chance to return Thursday. If he's held out, Eric Paschall would likely see increased work once again.

Whiteside (groin) is out for Wednesday's contest against Minnesota, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
The center will miss his second straight game as he continues to recover from a groin injury. Eric Paschall emerges as a candidate to see more opportunities with Whiteside out. The 32-year-old's next chance to return to the Jazz's lineup comes Thursday in Philadelphia.

Whiteside (groin) is questionable for Wednesday's game at Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Whiteside missed Sunday's matchup with the Cavaliers due to a bruised left glute, and his availability for Wednesday is also in question. Udoka Azubuike (ankle) is also out, which could leave Utah short on center depth behind starter Rudy Gobert.

Whiteside (groin) won't play Sunday against the Cavaliers, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Whiteside suffered a left glute contusion at some point during Friday's win over Boston and will be sidelined for the first time this season as a result. Eric Paschall will likely enter the rotation as a small-ball center alternative to starter Rudy Gobert.

Whiteside is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers due to a left glute contusion.
EDGE Analysis
Whiteside has logged double-digit minutes off the bench in each of the last four games, but he's now dealing with a glute injury. If he's unable to play Sunday, Eric Paschall could see a slightly larger role behind Rudy Gobert.

Whiteside contributed two points (1-2 FG) and one rebound across three minutes during Wednesday's 110-104 win over the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Whiteside was in rare form Wednesday, lasting just three minutes before being asked to leave the game. Ejection aside, it has actually been a positive season for Whiteside who has settled in as the primary backup to Rudy Gobert. The playing is certainly nothing to write home about, but even in limited minutes, Whiteside can grab a few boards and block some shots, making him a streaming consideration in 12-team formats.

Whiteside closed with 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds and one block in 14 minutes during Sunday's 107-100 loss to the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
As long as Rudy Gobert is healthy, it's hard to see Whiteside playing more than about 18 minutes on any given night. That said, he is generally able to do enough in that time, as demonstrated Sunday, and is worth a look in 12-team leagues. He certainly isn't for everyone but if you are looking for an efficient big man who can block shots and rack up boards in a hurry, he could be just the answer.
