Utah Jazz center Hassan Whiteside (foot) was able to make his return to the court on Saturday versus the Golden State Warriors. The big man had missed four games prior to that due to a minor bone spur fracture. Whiteside didn't offer much in terms of fantasy production during Saturday's loss. He finished with two points, two rebounds, and one block in 10 minutes. To be fair, it was his first game back and fantasy managers shouldn't expect too much when he's behind Rudy Gobert. Whiteside will have a better matchup on Tuesday versus Memphis, but remains a shaky fantasy option in all formats.
Utah Jazz center Hassan Whiteside (foot) will miss his fourth straight game on Thursday when the team faces the Los Angeles Lakers. Whiteside is currently hampered by a right foot sprain. The Jazz signed Greg Monroe to a 10-day contract to help fill in for the injured Whiteside. Monroe logged 10 minutes in his Jazz debut on Tuesday and came up with four points and two boards. Meanwhile, Rudy Gobert logged 38 minutes on Tuesday and racked up nine points, 16 boards and three blocks. Based on the Monroe signing, it seems likely that Whiteside is still about a week or so away from returning.
Hassan Whiteside Draws Questionable Tag For Friday
Utah Jazz center Hassan Whiteside (foot) has been listed as questionable to take the floor for Friday's game vs. Charlotte due to a sprained right foot. Whiteside's fantasy appeal is directly tied to that of Rudy Gobert, as the 32-year-old currently doesn't receive a high enough minutes share to justify a roster spot in season-long or DFS contests. If Whiteside is ultimately held out, Gobert could receive a handful of additional minutes, while Eric Paschall is an option to serve as a small ball center. Per DraftKings' scoring, the Hornets are yielding the second-most DFS points on a nightly basis to opposing centers.
Utah Jazz center Hassan Whiteside (illness) is available for Sunday's clash against the Knicks. The veteran didn't suit up during Utah's previous outing against the Los Angeles Clippers because of a non-COVID-19 related sickness. However, Whiteside will be back in the support role behind Rudy Gobert, and while he doesn't play a ton, he still has one of the highest fantasy point-per-minute averages this season, so he should remain on the radar.
Utah Jazz center Hassan Whiteside (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He is sitting this one out due to a non-COVID related illness. That's not great news with Udoka Azubuike (ankle) sidelined as well. That means, Eric Paschall and possibly Rudy Gay will see more playing time. However, neither have enough upside to warrant streaming in most fantasy formats.
Utah Jazz center Hassan Whiteside (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He's a new addition to the injury report, which is not good news with Rudy Gobert (calf) already ruled out. Whiteside has been playing well in Gobert's absence and is a decent fantasy option, assuming he plays. Otherwise, Udoka Azubuike, Rudy Gay, and Eric Paschall would have to try and contain Nikola Jokic. None of those players have much streaming value if Whiteside sits out.
Utah Jazz center Hassan Whiteside will not suit up for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He has been sidelined due January 10 due to the league's health and safety protocols. It's uncertain when he'll get back on the court, but he didn't have a huge role in the rotation anyway. Robert Gobert is back and should have a full workload against the Lakers. Udoka Azubuike should pick up more playing time, but isn't someone worth monitoring in fantasy formats. Gobert could have a slight boost in playing time with Whiteside remaining sidelined here.
Utah Jazz center Hassan Whiteside has been placed in the league's health and safety protocols, ruling him out indefinitely, beginning with Wednesday's game vs. Cleveland. Whiteside had stepped into the starting five for the past three contests with Rudy Gobertalso sidelined, with the duo's absence leaving the team tremendously thin in the frontcourt. Eric Paschall is likely to serve as a small-ball center, ramping up his DFS appeal, while wings such as Royce O'Neale can be seen as having increased rebounding upside. While Whiteside has been a terrific producer per minute this year, he holds little season-long intrigue once Gobert returns.
Utah Jazz center Hassan Whiteside (glute) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He has missed each of the last two games and could be headed for another absence. Rudy Gay could see a slight bump in the playing time, but wouldn't have enough value to warrant rostering in standard leagues. Also, Rudy Gobert could be asked to play a little longer than normal. That being said, Gobert could have slightly more DFS value, assuming Whiteside is out again on Thursday.
Utah Jazz center Hassan Whiteside (glute) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This marks the second game in a row that Whiteside has missed due to a left glute contusion. The Jazz will likely be forced to go small ball with Rudy Gay and Eric Paschall. Also, Rudy Gobert might be asked to play more minutes than usual without Whiteside available. Gobert appears to be a strong option for DFS contests on Wednesday.
