Hassan Whiteside expressed his regret on Tuesday for wrestling with Alex Len during Monday's game against the Suns.

"I regret doing that," Whiteside said. "That was the first time. Violence is not the answer. That's what it was. I just felt like [Len] was frustrated with as many as dunks that I did on him." Whiteside will likely be suspended for Wednesday's game against the Lakers, leaving Udonis Haslem, Michael Beasley, and Chris Andersen to man Miami's frontcourt.

Hassan Whiteside - C - Heat

Hassan Whiteside and Alex Len were ejected for wrestling on Monday night.

This game in Miami is one of the most emotional ones of the season. Whiteside tried to tackle Len and there's certainly a chance he gets hit with a suspension for this one. He finished with 17 points, 10 boards, two steals and two blocks in 26 minutes. He's a better basketball player than a tackler and his owners are going to be hoping for mercy from the NBA in hopes he doesn't get suspended.

Hassan Whiteside matched his career-high 24 boards against the Hawks on Saturday with 14 points and two blocks in 34 minutes.

Before his time with the Heat, Whiteside had a grand total of 39 rebounds in his career. Now he has two games with at least 24 boards and continues to be one of the wildest stories of the season. Plus, he's also made at least 60 percent from the field in each of his last two months. How did every team dismiss this guy?

Hassan Whiteside had 15 points, 13 rebounds and three blocks in Wednesday's overtime win.

He was helped out a bit by the extra time, and while he hasn't exploded like a superstar lately, it's hard to complain about anything he's doing. Especially when he was free off the wire for a majority of his owners.

Hassan Whiteside - C - Heat

Hassan Whiteside bounced back on Saturday against the Pelicans with 11 points, 16 boards and five blocks.

There was obviously nothing to worry about with his quiet game on Friday. Whiteside continues to be one of the best defensive rebounders in NBA and he's also become more involved on the offensive end, especially with Chris Bosh out for the season. His owners shouldn't be looking to sell high unless it's for elite value.

Hassan Whiteside played just 20 minutes against the Knicks on Friday with 12 points, nine rebounds, one assist, one steal and two blocks.

It was the darkest day in the history of Hassanity because Andrea Bargnani dunked on him today. Whiteside doesn't play power forward, so outside of maybe getting more shots on offense, he isn't really affected from the Thursday news. He'll be better than this, but we can all probably agree he's not going to the Hall of Fame just yet.

Hassan Whiteside said the swelling in his ankle is gone.

He'll be ready to go against the Knicks on Friday. Whiteside has been a monster and has posted an elite 32.3 defensive rebounding rate this season. He was always going to be a great rebounder, but the improvement on offense is why he's turned into a fantasy stud. His fantasy owners can start him on Friday.

Hassan Whiteside (ankle) said he's excited for some time to rest his ankle over the All-Star break.

Despite averaging 3.4 blocks per game during January, Whiteside has blocked just two shots over his last three games. "Just really resting my ankle," he said about his plans over the nine day break. 'You know, I've been trying to play through it, just coming back 100 percent, just really get all the swelling down and getting back to where I can jump high and block shots." Whiteside is unlikely to maintain his gaudy January totals, but he's a must-start player any time he takes the court at this point.

Hassan Whiteside scored 17 points with 14 rebounds and one steal in 28 minutes against the Cavs on Wednesday.

He had a big game on the stat sheet, but the defense was not there. Whiteside's contested rebounding rate is elite and he's also been terrific in half-court offensive sets, making 80 percent of his shots on pick-and-roll. He won't be this good, but he's obviously a must-start player.

Chris Andersen spoke glowingly about teammate Hassan Whiteside on Monday.

Asked if there were any similarities between he and Whiteside, Andersen said, "Absolutely not. He does everything 10 times better than I do it. With his length and his wingspan and jumping ability – s***, he’s doing everything with ease. It looks like a video game deal where you create your own guy." It's hard to disagree with the Birdman as Whiteside is averaging 15.4 points, 14.4 boards, and 3.6 blocks over the last 10 games and should be cemented in all fantasy lineups.

Hassan Whiteside (ankle) returned to action in Monday's win over the Knicks, scoring seven points on 3-of-4 shooting with nine rebounds and two blocks in 19 minutes.

Whiteside had four fouls and he'll be better than this on most nights. He should be in all lineups.

Hassan Whiteside (ankle) said he will play against the Knicks on Monday.

Even with the Heat shorthanded, the Heat probably wouldn't want to play Whiteside if he's not healthy enough to go. Although, Whiteside did say he can't jump as high as usual "but it's high enough to dunk on people." He should be in all season-long lineups, but owners in DFS might want to be careful here. Then again, betting against Whiteside these days isn't a great idea.

Hassan Whiteside (ankle) is a game-time decision against the Knicks on Monday.

The Heat need him to play badly with a slew of injuries occurring to their squad right now. Whiteside missed Friday night due to an ankle sprain and we'll be looking for an update. If he's out, Chris Andersen will start and look to build off a 10-point, five-board game from Friday -- a fair expectation tonight. The Heat will also have to go small a lot and we would see a lot of Justin Hamilton, who played 28 minutes on Friday.

Hassan Whiteside (ankle) is questionable to play on Monday against the Knicks.

After not practicing on Sunday, Whiteside get slapped with the questionable designation on Monday. Owners will have to monitor for updates, but it's possible he's headed for the dreaded game-time call. If he sits out, Birdman Andersen should again draw the start.
