HASSAN WHITESIDE NEWS

Swats seven shots Wednesday Whiteside had nine points (4-5 FG, 1-2 FT), 17 rebounds, two assists, seven blocks and two steals in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 111-85 win over the Warriors.

Impact Udoka Azubuike got the start at center again for Utah, but Whiteside was the team's dominant force down low. The veteran center posted a massive plus-35 over 29 minutes while shattering his previous season highs with 17 boards and seven blocked shots. Whiteside has come off the bench in three straight contests even with Rudy Gobert (calf) still sidelined, but he is likely the better fill-in fantasy option over Azubuike due to his ability to go nuts with big stat lines as he did Wednesday.

Good to go, coming off bench Whiteside (back) will play in Friday's contest against the Nets, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact Although Whiteside is available and Rudy Gobert (calf) is sidelined, he will come off the bench in favor of Udoka Azubuike. It remains to be seen what type of workload he will see.

Questionable Friday Whiteside (back) is questionable for Friday's matchup against the Nets.

Impact Whiteside sat out Wednesday's win over the Nuggets. He should remain in a starting role if available since Rudy Gobert (calf) is still sidelined.

Unavailable Wednesday Whiteside (back) is out Wednesday against the Nuggets.

Impact Whiteside is dealing with a low back strain and was unable to participate in Wednesday's shootaround before he was ruled out. Udoka Azubuike, Eric Paschall and Rudy Gay should be in line for additional run Wednesday.

Doesn't participate in shootaround Whiteside (back) didn't participate in Wednesday's shootaround, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Whiteside is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets due to low back soreness, and his absence from the team's morning shootaround isn't encouraging. If he's unavailable, Udoka Azubuike, Eric Paschall and Rudy Gay should see additional playing time.

Questionable vs. Nuggets Whiteside is questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Nuggets due to a back injury, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Rudy Gobert (calf) is still out, so if Whiteside plays, he should see starter's minutes again. If he's out, more minutes will be available for Udoka Azubuike, Eric Paschall and Rudy Gay.

Nears double-double in loss Whiteside registered 11 points (5-6 FG, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds and one block across 27 minutes during Friday's 119-109 loss to Memphis.

Impact Whiteside was efficient from the floor during Friday's loss, but he fell just short of picking up his second consecutive double-double. The 32-year-old hasn't missed a beat since returning from his six-game absence, as he's averaged 12.3 points and 9.3 rebounds in 31.3 minutes per contest across his last three appearances.

Continues strong work as starter Whiteside supplied 16 points (7-10 FG, 2-5 FT), 11 rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 105-97 loss to the Suns.

Impact Rudy Gobert (calf) was once again unable to play Wednesday, allowing Whiteside to log his fifth straight start around a six-game absence while in COVID-19 protocols. The veteran center tied for second on the team in scoring and led Utah in rebounding while collecting half of the team's swats in the loss. During the five-game run as a starter, Whiteside is averaging 12.4 points, 9.8 boards and 1.6 blocks per contest.

Approaches double-double in return Whiteside (COVID-19 protocols) tallied 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block across 33 minutes Monday in the Jazz's 115-109 loss to the Su...

Impact Fantasy managers were probably hoping for more production from Whiteside while he entered the starting lineup in place of Rudy Gobert (calf), but perhaps expectations should have been tempered, considering that the former was returning from a six-game absence due to a bout with COVID-19. Jazz head coach Quin Snyder gave Whiteside all the run he could handle in his return, but the seven-foot center lacked his usual efficiency near the rim and rejected two fewer shots than he did in his most recent start Jan. 10 in Detroit. Though he'll lose most of his relevancy in 12-team leagues or shallower as soon as Gobert returns, Whiteside will make for a strong streaming option Wednesday in just about every format if Gobert misses his second straight game in the Jazz's rematch with Phoenix.

Gets starting nod Whiteside is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Suns, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Impact Whiteside will get the start at center in place of Rudy Gobert, who is sidelined with a calf injury. With Bojan Bogdanovic (finger), Royce O'Neale (knee) and Gobert all ruled out in the frontcourt, look for Whiteside to be leaned on more heavily, along with Udoka Azubuike and Eric Paschall.

No longer on injury report Whiteside (conditioning) is not listed on the injury report for Monday's game at Phoenix.

Impact All indications are that Whiteside will make his return from a six-game absence, and there's a good chance he'll find himself in the starting lineup with Rudy Gobert (calf) ruled out. The Jazz will also be without Donovan Mitchell (concussion) and Mike Conley (rest), while Joe Ingles (ankle) and Bojan Bogdanovic (finger) are both questionable.

Out again Sunday Whiteside (conditioning) will not be available for Sunday's game against Golden State, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

Impact The hope was that the big man would be able to make his return Sunday, but he'll miss a sixth straight game as he deals with COVID-19-related conditioning concerns. Whiteside hasn't played since Jan. 10 at Detroit.

JANUARY 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Could return Sunday Whiteside (conditioning) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Warriors.

Impact Whiteside has missed the past five games, and his availability for Sunday could come down to a game-time call. With Rudy Gobert (ankle) also questionable, the Jazz could end up quite shorthanded in the frontcourt.
