Whiteside (elbow) is in the starting lineup for Sunday's matchup with the Spurs, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteside dealt with a swollen elbow earlier this weekend, but was never expected to miss any time, so it's not surprising he's in the lineup Sunday. He should see his normal allotment of minutes and will continue to be a great source for points, rebounds and blocks. Over the first two games of the season, Whiteside has averaged 19 points, 14.5 rebounds and three blocks over 29 minutes per outing.
