Whiteside (hand) started Thursday's loss to the Bulls, but had his second double-double in three games by scoring 19 points (9-15 FG, 1-2 FT) and grabbing 16 boards in 38 minutes.
He's now scored double-digit points in five straight games, and he seems to have put his hand injury behind him that forced him to only miss one game. Because he's been so effective, the Heat will likely use him down the stretch as much as possible.

Whiteside (hand) is probable for Thursday's game agains the Bulls, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Whiteside is still dealing with the after-effects of the slice to his right hand, which he sustained against the Bucks back on Mar. 24. He was held out of Sunday's game against the Pacers but returned to start Tuesday against Charlotte, finishing with 12 points and eight rebounds. Given the Heat's positioning in the East, it's difficult to imagine Whiteside sitting out Thursday.
