EDGE Analysis

Whiteside has been above his season average of 14.7 rebounds per game in each of the last three contests, tallying 16, 22 and 17 boards. His counterpart at center, DeAndre Jordan (12 points, 19 rebounds), ended up getting the last laugh, however, turning in one of his better games of the season while matching up against Whiteside, who suggested prior to Friday's outing that Jordan "just catches lobs." Whiteside may have some regrets over that comment, but fantasy owners hold no similar reservations about selecting him in fantasy drafts. In addition to the career-best rebound total, Whiteside is averaging 17.4 points and 2.3 blocks per game.
