EDGE Analysis

Rudy Gobert (calf) was once again unable to play Wednesday, allowing Whiteside to log his fifth straight start around a six-game absence while in COVID-19 protocols. The veteran center tied for second on the team in scoring and led Utah in rebounding while collecting half of the team's swats in the loss. During the five-game run as a starter, Whiteside is averaging 12.4 points, 9.8 boards and 1.6 blocks per contest.
