Whiteside (general soreness) will be available Thursday against the Hornets, Jason Lieser of The Palm Beach Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Heat kept Whiteside out of practice Wednesday for maintenance purposes, but he was never in any serious danger of missing Thursday's contest. He's averaging 16.7 points, 13.7 rebounds, and 3.2 blocks in 31.5 minutes over his last six games, and should be in line for similar court time Thursday.
