Hassan Whiteside (ankle) expected to play as Heat travel to Boston

Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside (sprained ankle) feels "a lot better" and is expected to play on Sunday against the Boston Celtics.

What It Means:

Whiteside suffered an ankle injury that held him out of practice on Saturday, but apparently it was just precautionary. He should be in for a full workload in a good matchup against Boston.

Our models project Whiteside for 15.9 points, 13.2 rebounds and 2.2 blocks over 32.6 minutes Sunday against the Celtics.
