Amar'e Stoudemire will draw his first start of the season Monday versus the Bulls, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Stoudemire will draw his second straight start at center Monday against the Bulls, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

With Hassan Whiteside (hip) out, Stoudemire will again join the starting five for the banged-up Heat. Stoudemire posted eight points and five rebounds in 18 minutes against the Raptors in his previous start Friday, so don't expect the veteran to be in line for huge minutes even while as he plays with the top unit.
