The Heat are moving forward Michael Beasley into the starting lineup, while shifting Udonis Haslem to the bench.

Haslem is out of the starting lineup for the first time in six seasons.

Miami coach Erik Spoelstra called it a "difficult and uncomfortable" decision.

"I understand where he's coming from," Haslem told the Associated Press. "I've been behind him and this organization 100 percent since I've been here, and this is another situation where I'm behind him again. My role is going to be different, but pretty much still the same."
