Hassan Whiteside: Appears unlikely to play in Game 4

The Heat are officially listing Whiteside as questionable for Monday, but after the center was diagnosed with a sprained MCL and instructed to rest the injury “a lot,” according to coach Erik Spoelstra, it seems unlikely that Whiteside will make a swift enough recovery to take the court in Game 4. The Raptors will also be without their center in Jonas Valanciunas, who has been ruled out for the rest of the series with a sprained ankle, so we could see both teams utilize more small-ball lineups in their matchups to come.
