Chris Andersen played through his sore back and neck on Thursday and had two points and two rebounds in 17 minutes. He'll have a bigger role once the playoffs roll around, but by then the fantasy season will be over.

Chris Andersen (back, neck) will be active for Thursday's game vs. the Warriors. While this is great news for Miami's second unit, it's irrelevant in standard fantasy leagues. Andersen is shooting a career-best 63.5 percent from the field this year but he's only attempting 3.9 shots per game, to go along with 4.4 rebounds and 1.2 blocks.

Chris Andersen (body soreness) is a game-time decision to face the Warriors on Thursday. He missed Wednesday's practice and the Heat could have miss him for a fourth game after his injury on Christmas. Udonis Haslem has been back in the rotation, but is not worth owning in most leagues.

Chris Andersen (back) won't play vs. the Nuggets on Monday.

Updating a previous report, Chris Andersen (neck/back) is doubtful to play vs. Denver on Monday. This report comes from reliable Nuggets writer Chris Dempsey. The Heat officially listed the Birdman as a game-time decision after he missed shootaround, but the odds of him playing are dwindling.

Chris Andersen (back) is probable for Monday's game vs. the Nuggets. Andersen is excited to face his former team but fantasy owners can continue to ignore him as long as Chris Bosh is healthy.

Chris Andersen (back) will not play against the Blazers on Saturday. This will be his second game in street clothes after suffering a back injury on Christmas. Andersen has some back problems in his past and is not worth owning in most leagues. Chris Bosh and Udonis Haslem will get some more playing time.

Chris Andersen (back) will not play against the Kings on Friday. The Heat went with Udonis Haslem to fill the void left by Andersen during Wednesday's game against the Lakers. Haslem is only worth a look in very deep leagues while Andersen has been more of a specialist for blocks in deep leagues. He should be considered questionable for Saturday's game vs. Portland.

Chris Andersen (back) missed shootaround and is expected to miss Friday's game against the Kings. He injured his back on Christmas Day and the Heat will have to replace his 18.0 minutes per game. Udonis Haslem was back in the rotation on Wednesday, so he will likely be the main guy that needs to step up.

Chris Andersen is listed as questionable for Friday's game at Sacramento with a sore back. He left Christmas Day's game with the injury and could be a game-time decision tonight. Udonis Haslem might get the start if Birdman is out.
