Hassan Whiteside (hip) limited at Heat practice Thursday

Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside (hip pointer) was limited at Thursday's practice.

What It Means:

Whiteside logged over 30 minutes on Wednesday for the first time since December 2, so the workload may have done a number on him. If he's still hurting on Friday, the Heat may decide to give the big man the night off in a home matchup with the 8-27 Cleveland Cavaliers. Bam Adebayo would be in line for a start if Whiteside sits.

Whiteside is averaging 38.5 FanDuel points over 28 games. numberFire's models expect him to record 14.7 points, 9.5 rebounds, and 1.9 blocks per contest over the rest of the year.
