Whiteside (ankle) will be available for Thursday's game against the Hawks, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteside is dealing with a sprained left ankle, but he was initially listed as probable, so there was never much doubt regarding his status. Through seven games, Whiteside has settled in as the backup to Rudy Gobert, averaging 7.3 points, 7.7 rebounds and 1.4 blocks in just 16.4 minutes per contest.

Whiteside is probable for Thursday's game against the Hawks due to a sprained left ankle.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteside should be able to play through the recent ankle injury he sustained, and he's in line to start Thursday with Rudy Gobert (heel) sidelined. Per 36 minutes, Whiteside is averaging 16.1 points, 17.1 rebounds and 3.2 blocks.

Whiteside finished with four points (2-4 FG), four rebounds and two blocks in 16 minutes during Saturday's 107-99 loss to Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteside came into the game under an injury cloud but was able to play his typical allotment of minutes. Now serving as the primary backup to Rudy Gobert, Whiteside's fantasy value is limited to deeper formats. Those in 12-team leagues should view him as a possible streaming option, at best.

Whiteside (hand) is available for Saturday's matchup against the Bulls.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, despite a bruised right hand, Whiteside will be available. In 16.8 minutes per game, he's averaging 8.5 points, 7.3 rebounds and 1.3 blocks.

Whiteside is probable Saturday against the Bulls due to a right hand contusion, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteside should continue seeing backup center minutes Saturday. In 16.8 minutes per game, he's averaging 8.5 points, 7.3 rebounds and 1.3 blocks.

Whiteside finished with six points (2-4 FG, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 19 minutes during Wednesday's 107-86 victory over the Thunder.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteside was productive off the bench for his new team, proving that perhaps he can have a positive impact on the court. He is slated to play behind Rudy Gobert, and, barring any major injuries, it will likely remain that way for the entire season. That said, if he can see at least 15 minutes per night on a regular basis, those in deeper leagues could do a lot worse when searching for boards and blocks.

Whiteside (heel) is not on the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

The big man was held out of Wednesday's exhibition contest with a sore heel, but he should be available Monday night. Whiteside is set to serve as the backup to Rudy Gobert this season.

Whiteside is out for Wednesday's preseason action against the Mavericks due to left heel soreness, Andy Larsen of KSL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Jazz will be deploying the B Team against the Mavericks on Wednesday. Most of Utah's key players are getting the night off for rest. There's no indication Whiteside's injury is serious.

Whiteside is starting Monday's exhibition against the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

With Rudy Gobert being held out for rest purposes, Whiteside will slot into the starting spot at center. He's expected to serve as the backup to Gobert once the regular season gets underway.

Whiteside agreed Tuesday to a one-year contract with the Jazz, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteside has been unable to find a stable home recently, and Utah will mark his fourth stop in as many years. He figures to be a true backup center behind Rudy Gobert. As a result, we can expect Whiteside to put up similar numbers to his time in Sacramento last season, where he averaged 8.1 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in 15.2 minutes.
