Stoudemire will start Friday against the Bucks, Jason Lieser of The Palm Beach Post reports.

Analysis:

Coach Erik Spoelstra stated before the game that he would stick with his current lineup construction that includes Stoudemire while Hassan Whiteside (hip) is sidelined. Thus, Stoudemire will make a strong play in daily formats Friday with the added bonus of being a potential waiver wire target in season-long leagues if Whiteside continues to be sidelined.
