EDGE Analysis

Whiteside's availability is unclear for Friday's game against the Cavaliers. Though he's dealing with an injury, it's encouraging Whiteside was able to participate in limited portions of practice. If he ends up being sidelined, Bam Adebayo and Kelly Olynyk are strong candidates to see upticks in workload and usage.
