Chris Andersen played through an illness on Thursday night vs. the Knicks with two points, three boards, one assist, three steals and one block in 21 minutes. The Heat went with a bigger lineup in this game, which allowed Andersen to get some extra minutes. Birdman was a little under the weather for tonight's game and should still be well enough to play Friday. Although, he was dealing with some body soreness late last month and the Heat might take it easy on him for Friday's game in a back-to-back set.
