Shane Battier did not go through shootaround due to an illness and will be a game-time decision on Tuesday. Battier has stepped into a 3-point specialist role for the Heat, so if he's forced to sit, it could mean the seldom-used Mike Miller gets a taste of game action. Battier's absence could also thrust Udonis Haslem into more minutes and/or possibly Rashard Lewis.
