EDGE Analysis

A thigh injury made Whiteside a game-time decision, as the 26-year-old was unable to practice on Wednesday. Whiteside didn't miss a beat in Thursday's match-up, coming off the bench to record his third consecutive double-double, helping further diminish Chicago's chances of claiming a playoff spot. Whiteside will play again tonight in a road match-up with the Magic.
