Heat's Hassan Whiteside: Will start Thursday

Whiteside (finger) will start at center for Thursday's tilt against the Raptors.

Analysis:

Despite having limited use of his right hand due to smashing his fingers into the bottom of the backboard late in Tuesday's game, requiring stitches, Whiteside will play during Thursday's game. It's unclear if he'll play a full workload, or if he'll be effective, but it's an encouraging sign for the team that he's able to give it a go. His condition makes him an especially risky play in DFS.
