Udonis Haslem started over Shane Battier on Tuesday, but had just seven points and three rebounds in 19 minutes. Chris Andersen was a +25 off the bench tonight and it wouldn't be all that surprising to see him replace Haslem as a starter at some point. Birdman had three points and 12 rebounds, while Norris Cole had 11 points, two assists and two 3-pointers off the bench, and looks like a better option at point guard for the Heat. They took homecourt advantage with tonight's win and will get to rest for three days before Game 3 in Miami on Saturday.

Udonis Haslem will start over Shane Battier for the Heat in Tuesday's Game 2 against the Pacers. No surprises here, as Battier was highly ineffective in Game 1, while the Heat were abused inside and on the glass. Haslem isn't really a game changer, but the move makes a lot of sense for the Heat, who will try to even things out on the glass in Game 2.

Udonis Haslem could be in line to start Game 2 against the Pacers on Tuesday night. Haslem and Heat coach Erik Spoelstra wouldn't divulge if the veteran forward would be starting on Tuesday night, but did add that a good defensive start is an important factor. Haslem started the second half of Sunday's Game 1 loss in place of Shane Battier and would bring a physical post presence that the Heat desperately need against Roy Hibbert. We'll update this situation as we here more, but Haslem sounds like he's ready to start if his name is called, "Hopefully I get the opportunity to bring a little more physicality to our lineup."

Udonis Haslem started the second half of Game 1 vs. the Pacers on Sunday. The Pacers had one of their best offensive halves in a long time, so coach Erik Spoelstra decided to shake things up. In fact, Indiana had a ridiculous effective field goal percentage of 67.6 in the first half, which would be on pace to break their season high in a game of 64.9. Shane Battier moved back to the bench.

Udonis Haslem (illness) neared a double-double in Friday's win over the Pacers, scoring 11 points on 5-of-7 shooting with nine rebounds and one steal in 31 minutes. If the Heat continue to roll with Haslem in order to ready him for the playoffs, he has some mild appeal if you're hunting points and boards.

Udonis Haslem (illness) is expected to play in Friday's game against the Pacers. Haslem sat out Tuesday and Wednesday. He'll likely return to his starting power forward role in this showdown of Eastern Conference powers. The Heat trail the Pacers by just a half-game for the No. 1 seed.

Udonis Haslem (illness) did not travel for Wednesday's game vs. the Grizzlies. He missed Tuesday vs. the Nets and he will miss his second straight game. The Heat went with a smaller lineup on Tuesday and will likely do so again with Shane Battier in the starting lineup.

Udonis Haslem won't play on Tuesday due to a stomach virus, shifting Shane Battier into the starting lineup. Haslem started the past six games and seems like Miami's preferred starting PF for the playoffs. The impact of his absence is somewhat lessened by the fact that Chris Andersen (back) will be active for Tuesday's game vs. Brooklyn.

Udonis Haslem will start vs. the Wolves on Friday. He started alongside Chris Bosh on Wednesday and it seems he'll continue to start as long as Greg Oden (back) remains on the sidelines. He's averaging a mere 5.3 points per game in his 12 starts this season, unfortunately, which crystallizes his lack of fantasy appeal.

Udonis Haslem started and scored a season-high 17 points on 8-of-11 shooting with five rebounds and one block in Friday's blowout win over the Pistons. The Heat are going to be a mess over the next few weeks and owners will want to watch the injury report closely. We wouldn't advise a pickup of Haslem for anything but very deep league spot duty when it's known he'll get heavy run. Chris Andersen has been paying dividends more or less lately and posted 13 points, six boards, one steal and hit 5-of-6 shots from the line.
