Whiteside recorded a double-double with 18 points (6-7 FG, 6-6 FT) and 10 rebounds to go with one block across 31 minutes off the bench during Monday's win over the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
The big-man continues to thrive in his bench role, as he has now reeled off six consecutive double-doubles and has 12 in his last 13 games. Whiteside failed to block multiple shots for the first time since early February, but his average of 3.9 on the season suggests that he will bounce back sooner rather than later in that department. The perfect night at the line was a nice bonus for fantasy owners, and his 88% clip over the last four games represents an uptick from his season average of 62%.

Whiteside scored 13 points (5-12 FG, 3-4 FT) while adding a team-high 11 rebounds, three blocks and a steal in 33 minutes off the bench during Saturday's loss to the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
Neither he nor Amar'e Stoudemire could do much to contain Jonas Valanciunas on the defensive end, however, as the Toronto center outscored both of them combined. Whiteside has now reeled off 12 straight games with at least 10 rebounds and two blocks, and should remain a frontcourt force over the final weeks of the season.

Whiteside scored 13 points (6-13 FG, 1-2 FT) while adding 16 rebounds, three blocks, two assists and a steal in 31 minutes off the bench during Friday's win over the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
He now has double-digit boards and multiple blocks in each of the last 11 games, averaging a monstrous 18.0 points, 15.1 rebounds and 4.0 blocks over that stretch. Despite the fact that he's not part of the starting five, Whiteside should continue to see big minutes and produce big numbers down the stretch as the Heat try to hold onto a top-four seed in the Eastern Conference playoff picture.

Whiteside recorded 23 points (9-13 FG, 5-5 FT), 13 rebounds, and three blocks in 29 minutes during the Heat's 114-108 loss to the Bucks on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Per Elias Sports, Whiteside became the first player since Dennis Rodman to have 10 straight games with at least 10 rebounds off the bench. Whiteside has 28 double-doubles this season, and he has been thriving as the team's lone rim protector following the injury to Chris Bosh (calf).

Whiteside will participate in Wednesday's tilt against the Bucks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Whiteside has been battling an illness that caused him to miss practice Tuesday. However, he seems to have fully recovered as he's participating in the Heat's shootaround Wednesday morning and is confirmed to play against Milwaukee.

Whiteside missed practice Tuesday with an illness but will travel with the team for Wednesday's game in Milwaukee, Ethan Skolnick of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Whiteside should be considered firmly questionable, but the fact that he's making the trip North with the team is certainly a positive sign. Look for an update on his status Wednesday morning after shootaround.

Whiteside scored 14 points (4-11 FG, 6-10 FT) while adding 13 rebounds and seven blocks in 31 minutes off the bench during Sunday's win over the 76ers.
EDGE Analysis
He cooled down a little from the free throw line, but Whiteside still took full advantage of a depleted Sixers frontcourt to pound out his ninth straight game with double-digit boards and multiple blocks. He's now averaging an incredible 18.0 points, 15.2 boards and 4.2 blocks over that stretch with a 57.5 percent field goal percentage and 78.4 percent free throw percentage, and his dominant play on the second unit is a large part of the reason why the Heat have gone 8-2 since the All-Star break despite the absence of Chris Bosh. Expect another big line from Whiteside on Wednesday when Miami travels to Milwaukee.

Whiteside had 19 points (6-11 FG, 7-8 FT), 19 rebounds, two assists, and two blocks across 34 minutes during the Heat's 112-102 win versus the 76ers on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Whiteside now has 23 double-doubles and two triple-doubles in 2015-16, and he has also handed out at least one assist in the last three games. It's a bit comical that he has less total assists (20) this season than double-doubles, but Whiteside also leads the league in blocks. The fact that he continues to come off the bench has not been a problem for him lately, as evidenced by his seven double-doubles in the last eight contests.

Whiteside had nine points (4-8 FG, 1-1 FT), 11 rebounds, five blocks and a steal in 23 minutes on Thursday in a win over the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
Whiteside was a massive presence once again, but the Heat didn't need a healthy dose of him on Thursday. The big man for the Heat is about as scorching-hot as you can find, and if you can find a more consistent big man, we'll have to wrestle for lunch money. Whiteside continues to produce while he's still coming off of the bench, but his numbers are just as good as anyone in the NBA. If you don't roster Whiteside at this point, you're basically digging your own grave.

Whiteside turned in another monster stat line, scoring 26 points (8-11 FG, 10-11 FT) with 14 rebounds and four blocks over 33 minutes in Tuesday's 129-111 win against the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
Forget hottest player on the Heat, Whiteside is probably the hottest player in fantasy basketball at the center position. Over the past five games, Whiteside is averaging 19.0 points, 14.2 rebounds and an insane 4.4 blocks. Want to hear an even crazier statistic? Whiteside is shooting 92 percent from the charity stripe over the past five games -- his season average is 57.5 percent. There might not be a more sure thing in daily formats than Whiteside against the Suns on Thursday.
