Whitmore has averaged 7.9 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.8 steals in 18.1 minutes in his last 10 games, but he's set for an uptick in playing time against Oklahoma City.

Listed as questionable Whitmore (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game versus the Hawks.

Impact Whitmore missed Monday's game versus the Celtics, but he remains day-to-day. If he's unable to return Tuesday, it's likely that Aaron Holiday will again absorb his handful of minutes.

Not playing Monday vs. Boston Whitmore (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Celtics, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Whitmore is working through an illness and will be held out of Monday's road game in the hopes that he'll be available against the Hawks on Tuesday. Per Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle, head coach Ime Udoka said that Aaron Holiday will get more playing time Monday due to Whitemore's absence.

Under the weather Whitmore (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Celtics.

Impact An illness will put Whitmore in jeopardy of missing his first regular-season game since Dec. 14. Since and including Jan. 1, the 2023 first-round pick has averaged 12.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.8 steals over 21.1 minutes per game. Jae'Sean Tate, Tari Eason and Reed Sheppard would be in line to see their minutes off the bench increase if Whitmore is not cleared to play.

Another solid showing off bench Whitmore logged 16 points (7-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt), nine rebounds, an assist, a block and a steal in 24 minutes of action in Wednesday's 128-108 win over the Nuggets.

Impact After bouncing back and forth between the G-League and NBA earlier this year, Whitmore has been solid lately with Tari Eason (leg) and Jabari Smith (hand) having been out. He collected a season high in boards and fell just one short of what would've been the second double-double of his young career. The sophomore wing will continue to see opportunity so long as Eason and Smith remain out, although his fantasy production remains hard to predict with Dillon Brooks and Amen Thompson starting ahead of him on the wings and Jae'Sean Tate jostling with him for bench minutes.

Notches 17 points Whitmore contributed 17 points (6-8 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one steal across 18 minutes during Tuesday's 135-112 win over the Wizards.

Impact Whitmore continues to make a case for more minutes on the wings with Tari Eason (leg) still on the shelf. Over his last four outings, Whitmore has produced averages of 13.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 2.3 three-pointers in 23.0 minutes per contest. He's someone to monitor in deeper formats going forward.

Abysmal shooting night in loss Whitmore logged 11 points (4-17 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 2-2 FG), six boards, an assist and a steal in 34 minutes of action during Friday's loss to the Celtics.

Impact The second-year forward returned to earth Friday after putting together one of his best performances of the season in a win over the Mavericks on Wednesday. He had an opportunity to prove his worth to head coach Ime Udoka with Amen Thompson (suspension), Jabari Smith Jr. (hand) and Tari Eason (leg) all sidelined, but failed to make the most of it. Thompson will return to the lineup against the Lakers on Sunday as Whitmore looks to bounce back from his paltry shooting night.
