Shane Battier has played just 11 minutes in the NBA Finals after averaging more than 20 in the previous 15 playoff games, but Erik Spoelstra is adamant the Miami Heat forward is still part of his rotation.

“You get to the playoffs and it’s whatever it takes,” Spoelstra said. “He still has an opportunity to have an impact in this series.

“Where I had Mike (Miller) right here in Chicago and Indiana, that’s where I have Shane. He’s the next man up. There will be his moments in this series."

Battier has missed five of six shots in the series' first two games.
