Description: Heat forward Shane Battier played Thursday night against the Bucks despite suffering a chin injury that required stitches in Game 2. | Insight: Battier has really struggled with his shot this series (3-for-13 over the first two games).

He's been battling a knee injury. | Insight: Most of Battier's shots this season have come from beyond the three-point line (4.4 of his 5.1 field goal attempts per game). Luckily for fantasy owners, he's one of the more accurate long range shooters in the league (43 percent success rate this season). | | |

Description: Miami small forward Shane Battier (illness) will play Tuesday versus Atlanta, according to Brian Windhorst of ESPN.com. | Insight: Battier is making 1.9 threes, but his 6.5 ppg and 2.3 rpg aren't enough to warrant much attention from fantasy owners. | | |

Neither does Rashard Lewis, Mike Miller, Udonis Haslem or anyone else on Miami not named LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh or Ray Allen. | | |

He's made 18-of-42 (.429) from behind the arc in his last seven games but doesn't offer much production elsewhere because he took just six of his shot attempts from inside the arc during that span. | | |

SOURCE: Ira Winderman, South Florida Sun-Sentinel | Insight: Battier will likely miss a few games. The forward is averaging 2.1 3-pointers per game but little else. He's more important to his own team than your fantasy team. | | |

Description: Shane Battier won't play Monday night against New Jersey. Battier is dealing with pain in his back and neck. | Insight: It looks like Miami is locked into the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference so Erik Spoelstra is using the rest of the regular season to get his stars healthy. James Jones should see more playing time in Battier's absence Monday night. | | |
| 4/30/2011 5:16:00 PM |
Description: Shane Battier figures to be a bigger part of Memphis' plans against OKC. | Insight: Battier wasn't a huge part during the first series, but that should change quickly once the Grizz realize they're going against the league's best scorer. Allen has played well on the offensive side, but that might be for naught with Durant in the house. | | |
| 2/25/2011 1:00:00 AM |
Description: Battier went back to the team that originally drafted him when the Rockets dealt him to Memphis on Thursday. | Insight: The veteran was averaging just 8.6 points and 4.8 rebounds a game despite playing nearly 31 minutes a night in Houston. Memphis presents more of a crowd at his swing position, which won't help his stat line. (RapidDraft.com) | | |
