Udonis Haslem will start in place of Greg Oden (back) on Friday vs. the Pistons. He's turned in a couple good games and the Pistons actually aren't great on defense even with their size. Haslem is a risky spot-start guy in deeper leagues.

Udonis Haslem will start at center against the Pelicans on Saturday in place of Greg Oden (rest). It will be his second start in his last three games. His last start was a prosperous one with a season-high 14 points, but that was also because LeBron James did not play in that game. Haslem is a desperation play in daily formats.

Udonis Haslem was in the starting lineup with LeBron James and Greg Oden in street clothes on Wednesday and hit 7-of-8 shots for 14 points, five rebounds, three assists and two blocks in a loss to the Celtics. Even with James out this was tough to see coming, as he had played a total of 26 minutes in the entire month of March coming in.

Udonis Haslem will get the start against the Celtics on Wednesday. Greg Oden is resting on the second half of a back-to-back set which allows Haslem to get the seventh start of the season. He played just 16.0 minutes per game in his previous six starts, so he's not an option in most fantasy leagues.

Udonis Haslem received his third straight "DNP-CD" in Wednesday's win over Cleveland. Haslem was expected to rejoin the rotation with Shane Battier missing the game with the flu, but was usurped by Rashard Lewis and Michael Beasley. Haslem didn't have much fantasy value even when he was part of the Heat's rotation, and certainly doesn't have any now that he is seemingly buried on Erik Spoelstra's bench.

Udonis Haslem played through a back injury and had seven points and two rebounds on Tuesday, but fouled out in just eight minutes of action. Haslem doesn't do enough to offer much fantasy value in any league, as was evidenced tonight.

Udonis Haslem (back) is expected to play against the Hawks on Tuesday. The 33-year-old has missed the Heat's last four games and will be a site for sore eyes for the depleted Miami frontcourt. Fantasy owners, however, need not worry about Haslem's return as he barely warrants a roster spot in even the deepest of leagues. Owners who may have been relying on Shane Battier will want to take note as his playing time will be rolled back upon Haslem's return.

Udonis Haslem (back spasms) intends to practice on Monday and return for Tuesday's game vs. the Hawks. He's been battling the spasms for nearly three weeks, but is close to a full recovery. "It got to the point where I just wasn't able to move," he said. His absence has allowed Shane Battier to start for the Heat, with Rashard Lewis and Michael Beasley picking up more minutes off the bench. Owners relying on any of those guys in deeper leagues should keep a sharp eye on Erik Spoelstra's rotations once Haslem rejoins the rotation.

Udonis Haslem (back spasms) will not play vs. Charlotte on Saturday. This makes four consecutive DNPs for Haslem, but the good news is that he's traveling with the team and remains day-to-day. Shane Battier will get another start in his absence.
