EDGE Analysis

Whiteside compiled five 20-point, 20-rebound efforts last season -- an elite mark. There's little doubt he'll continue to be a premier fantasy option at center after posting 17.0 points, 14.1 boards and 2.1 blocks during 2016-17. The team's next matchup will be Saturday against the Pacers, where Whiteside will face off against Myles Turner, one of the up-and-coming centers in the association.
