Whiteside (oblique) has been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup with the Rockets, Jason Lieser of the Palm Beach Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Whiteside will miss his sixth straight game as he continues to nurse an oblique injury. That means Amar'e Stoudemire would appear to be in line for another start, while Josh McRoberts could see increased time off the bench with Chris Bosh playing more center. The Rockets will also be without their starting center, Dwight Howard, who has been suspended one game for making contact with an official over the weekend.
