Whiteside scored eight points (3-7 FG, 2-4 FT) while adding a game-high 17 rebounds and four blocks in 25 minutes during Friday's OT win over the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

Fouls and defensive issues limited Whiteside's minutes, but he was still able to dominate the glass and swat away his usual four blocks. His offensive contributions remain spotty, but Whiteside has now pulled down double-digit boards in eight straight games, and recorded at least four blocks in four straight.

Whiteside scored 16 points (7-13 FG, 2-2 FT) and ripped down 16 rebounds with four blocks in Tuesday's 93-92 loss to the Pistons.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteside has been on a tear lately after struggling to start the month of December. He's posted double-digit rebounding in seven straight games and is back to instilling fear into the opposition down low, averaging 3.6 blocks in his past five games. Whiteside's field goal percentage (62.9) certainly makes up for his poor shooting from the line (51.0).

EDGE Analysis

Whiteside scored eight points (4-6 FG) while adding a team-high 13 rebounds and five blocks in 31 minutes during Friday's loss to the Raptors.

EDGE Analysis

He's pulled down double-digit rebounds in five straight games, averaging 10.6 points, 12.0 boards and 2.2 blocks over that stretch. Whiteside's name has been floated in trade rumors recently due to his status as a pending free agent, but with the Heat battling for top spot in the Southeast Division and having no obvious replacement for him at center, a move seems unlikely.

Whiteside went for 20 points (7-10 FG, 6-8 FT), 13 rebounds, and one block in 30 minutes during the Heat's 104-98 win versus the Nets on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteside was dominant on Wednesday, outplaying Nets' center Brook Lopez to help his team earn the close victory. Whiteside hadn't double-doubled since Nov. 25, but he still entered the game averaging one in under 28 minutes per game. Foul trouble had been a problem for him in the past, but Whitesdie has yet to foul out of a game this season, and has only committed five fouls once all year.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

After suffering an ankle sprain earlier in the week, Whiteside recorded eight points, 10 rebounds, and two blocks in 17 minutes during Friday's loss versus the Pacers. Sunday's showing versus the Grizzlies was the first game in 2015-16 that Whiteside failed to swat a shot. In fact, the NBA's leader in blocks per game has posted two or more blocks in every contest prior to Sunday. While Whiteside hasn't had a double-double over his past seven games, he still averages one on the season.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteside had been hampered by an ankle sprain in the last few days and did not participate in Thursday's practice, but the star center will get the start Friday against the Pacers.

Whiteside (ankle) was a limited participant in practice Friday and remains a game time decision for Friday's matchup with the Pacers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteside sat out Thursday's practice due to a sprained ankle, but returned to the court during Friday morning's shootaround, albeit in a limited fashion. He remains a game time decision, so we may have to wait till pregame warmups to get an official word on his availability. If he's forced to sit out, Udonis Haslem and Chris Andersen would likely see the majority of the minutes at center. Alternatively, coach Erik Spoelstra could shift Chris Bosh to center and insert a player like Josh McRoberts at power forward as well.

Whiteside (ankle) did not practice Thursday, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis
