Shane Battier did not travel to Cleveland will not play on Monday vs. the Cavs.

The Heat are already going to be without Dwyane Wade and likely LeBron James, meaning Chris Bosh will get his chance to star in the show if he plays. Mike Miller should get a lot of run with both Wade and Battier seated, with Ray Allen also seeing extended minutes.

Shane Battier (rest) will sit again on Sunday.

Erik Spoelstra and the Heat are openly resting their key players down the stretch, and Battier's absence is not surprising. LeBron James, Mike Miller, Dwyane Wade and Ray Allen are all active on Sunday.

Shane Battier (rest) will be held out of Friday's game against the Celtics.

Battier is listed as day-to-day, but with the big three back in action vs. Boston, his services were not needed and he'll get a night to rest. Ray Allen should see some more minutes against his former team with Battier sidelined.

Shane Battier had 11 points and two 3-pointers in Friday's win over the Pistons.

Owners trolling for treys without turnovers at this time of the year should look no further. Over his last six games, Battier has 13 3-pointers and two turnovers.

Shane Battier (illness) will play on Tuesday against the Hawks.

Battier has no real fantasy value unless you're really desperate for 3-pointers.

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.

Shane Battier has not taken a 2-point shot since February 14.

Battier has taken 36 shots since February 14, all 3-pointers. Remarkably, he's made 22 of them, and since January 1, 88.5 percent of his shots have been from behind the 3-point line. He's become a specialist on the offensive end in order to spread the floor with guys like Mike Miller and James Jones not playing, and Battier is shooting a career-high 43.5 percent from distance this season.

Shane Battier made all four 3-point attempts for his 12 points to go with two boards and one steal on Sunday.

He has been terrific in his role this year and he can thank LeBron James. Battier has made 14 more in-the-corner triples than any other player this year and most of them are off kick-out passes from James. His 3-point percentage is at a sterling 43.9 percent on the year and he can be viewed as a specialist in some deeper formats.

Shane Battier (hamstring) returned to action on Friday, scoring 14 points on 4-of-5 shooting (all threes) with two rebounds and two assists in 26 minutes.

This is about as good as it gets for Battier, which needless to say puts him on the waiver wire in most if not all formats.

Shane Battier returned to action on Friday March 1.

Shane Battier (hamstring) is available to play on Friday.

Battier sat out of Tuesday's game with a hamstring issue, but he's good to go and will slide back into his normal role in the rotation against the Grizzlies.

Shane Battier (hamstring) will not play in Tuesday's game against the Kings.

Battier has some tightness and is listed as day-to-day. The Heat certainly don't need him to beat the lowly Kings at home. Look for Rashard Lewis and possibly Mike Miller to pick up the slack off the bench.

Shane Battier hit 5-of-8 shots, all 3-pointers, for 17 points in Wednesday's win over the Hawks.

He's only come close to this kind of night twice this season, when he scored 18 in a November game, and 17 once in December. This was a fluke, and he should continue to be ignored except in the deepest of leagues, unless you're desperate for 3-pointers. He's now hit 26 of them in his last nine games.

Shane Battier got the start on Thursday and scored six points with two rebounds, one assist, one steal and two 3-pointers in 27 minutes during a 110-100 win over the Thunder.

Udonis Haslem is out with a leg injury and there's a good chance that he'll be back after the break. If he's not, Battier isn't a terrible play in deeper leagues since he sets up for corner 3s a ton with LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh commanding double teams.

Shane Battier started for Chris Bosh (illness) and had 12 points and four 3-pointers in Wednesday's win.

Battier has no fantasy value, especially with Bosh expected back sooner than later.

Shane Battier returned from a hamstring injury and played 10 minutes on Wednesday.

He failed to score and only registered three rebounds and two fouls. Battier won't have much value while Miami's stars are healthy.

Shane Battier returned to action on Wednesday January 16.

Shane Battier (hamstring) is available to play against the Warriors on Wednesday.

It was announced earlier today that he is not at 100 percent, so Battier might not be able to play his usual 24.4 minutes per game. He can be left on the wire in standard leagues.

Shane Battier (hamstring) is not yet 100 percent and the Heat are calling him questionable for Wednesday's game against the Warriors.

Battier has been sidelined for most of January with the bad hamstring, but his lack of fantasy value means the injury doesn't really resonate. His minutes will be filtered throughout the Heat lineup.

Shane Battier (hamstring) has been ruled out of Monday's game against the Jazz.

Battier has been sidelined with the hamstring injury, but he doesn't really have fantasy value and his absence just means more for the big dogs in Miami to eat.
