Thu Jun 13 2013 | 14:13 | Report: Mike Miller may start Game 4 Thursday |
Heat coach Erik Spoelstra is considering starting Mike Miller in Thursday's Game 4, sources told ESPN's Brian Windhorst. |
Windhorst reports Miller would likely replace Udonis Haslem, which would definitely help Miami spread the floor better. Miller is red hot in the Finals, hitting 10-of-11 from 3-point range. He's also shooting a ridiculous 50 percent from beyond the arc over the course of the postseason. We won't know anything official until around warmups, but we tend to believe what Windhorst writes considering his access to the team. The Heat are trying to avoid going down 3-1 in the series. |

Mike Miller had the wind knocked out of him during Friday's loss to the Pacers, but he is healthy and ready to play in Game 3. |
Miller didn't return after being injured in the first half, which prompted concerns, but we now know that it wasn't serious. The veteran swingman has played a total of six minutes in Miami's previous five games. |

Mike Miller suffered an injury at the end of the first half on Friday. |
He hit a huge 3-pointer at the buzzer to end the half and was grimacing in pain as the Heat went to the locker room. It's unclear what happened, but he didn't appear to roll an ankle and perhaps he tweaked something in his troublesome back. Check back for updates. |

Sun Apr 21 2013 | 21:38 | Mike Miller doesn't get off bench in Game 1 |
Mike Miller didn't get off the bench in Sunday's easy win over the Bucks. |
Miller was on fire down the stretch of the regular season while LeBron James and Dwyane Wade were getting rest, but Erik Spoelstra chose to give him the night off. This is a concern for those of you who drafted him in playoff leagues, but he could easily bounce back and hit some threes in Game 2. |

Thu Apr 18 2013 | 00:03 | Mike Miller hits six 3-pointers |
Mike Miller hit six 3-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Magic, scoring 21 points with two boards, six assists and one steal in 31 minutes. |
It's hard to believe, but there are going to be a lot of fantasy championships won thanks to Mike Miller. He hit 3.2 triples per game in his nine April contests while hitting an impressive 51 percent of his field goal attempts. Miller might be a factor in the rotation as the Heat make a run at an NBA title. |

Sun Apr 14 2013 | 17:17 | Mike Miller scores 11 in start vs. Chicago |
Mike Miller continued his productive April on Sunday in Miami's 105-93 win over Chicago, scoring 11 points with six boards, four assist, two steals and three 3-pointers in 29 minutes. |
His April averages include 11.0 points, 5.0 boards and 2.9 triples in seven games. LeBron James and Dwyane Wade are both unlikely to play on Monday and Miller should be good for double-digit scoring and a couple threes against Cleveland's soft defense. It's worth noting that Miller was out of the rotation in March and he's probably earned some playoff minutes for the top-ranked Heat. |

Fri Apr 12 2013 | 23:01 | Miller goes cold in Friday's win over BOS |
Mike Miller went hitless on six shot attempts and finished with zero points, one rebound, four assists and a steal in 24 minutes of action on Friday. |
Owners knew better than to expect big games on the nights the Big Three played, but this was the downside risk Miller presented in a nutshell. The good news is that the Heat are likely to rest their guys some more, giving Miller a bit better chance of succeeding than he had tonight. |

Mike Miller will start in Friday's game against the Celtics. |
Udonis Haslem (ankle) remains sidelined, but Miller doesn't have the spot-start appeal he used to. LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh are all starting. |

Wed Apr 10 2013 | 22:42 | Mike Miller scores 14 in another start |
Mike Miller started for the depleted Heat again on Wednesday and hit 5-of-7 shots and four 3-pointers for 14 points and eight rebounds in a tough win over the Wizards. |
Miller had struggled over his last couple games, but with the Big 3 out for the Heat tonight, you could see this one coming. The Heat clinched home court all the way through the playoffs with tonight's win, so Miller could continue to see heavy minutes as the Heat get him in game shape for the playoffs. |

Tue Apr 9 2013 | 23:25 | Mike Miller quiet in another win |
Mike Miller hit just 2-of-5 shots for five points, four rebounds, four assists and a 3-pointer in 21 minutes on Tuesday. |
He's been playing solid minutes and getting some starts with the Heat so banged up, and now that their magic number for homecourt all the way through the playoffs is down to just 1, Miller could continue to see serious run as he prepares to get into gameshape for the playoffs. He had 26 last Friday, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him play well over the Heat's remaining five games. |

Fri Apr 5 2013 | 23:51 | Mike Miller hits seven 3s; posts 26-5-4 line |
Mike Miller scored a season-high 26 points on 9-of-15 shooting (including seven threes) with five rebounds and four assists in Friday's win over the Bobcats. |
Miller could be a sneaky pickup with the Heat resting players, but it should only be done if owners are willing to accept the risk that his production is sporadic. Chris Bosh added 18 points, eight boards, six assists, a steal, a block and a three in the win. |

Tue Apr 2 2013 | 23:29 | Mike Miller scores 18 points in full line |
Mike Miller had his best game of the season on Tuesday with 18 points, eight boards, four assists, one steal, two blocks and four 3-pointers in 37 minutes against the Knicks. |
He was the primary perimeter option for the Heat on Tuesday with LeBron James (hamstring) and Dwyane Wade (ankle) sitting out for the second game in a row. Miller hit four 3-pointers on Sunday and he's someone worth watching should Wade and LeBron sit out on Friday against the Bobcats. Although, there's a good chance they won't be resting much longer with a week of down time. |

Mike Miller started for the injured Mario Chalmers on Friday, scoring six points with six boards, two assists, one steal and one 3-pointer in 22 minutes. |
He caught an alley-oop dunk and he played well in his seventh start of the season. Miller doesn't have value in the vast majority of leagues. On a side note, he has more Rookie of the Year awards than Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade combined. |

Sun Mar 24 2013 | 20:48 | Mike Miller fills in at SG for ailing D-Wade |
Mike Miller made his fifth start of the season on Sunday, scoring six points with two 3-pointers, three rebounds, four assists and one steal in a win over the Bobcats. |
Dwyane Wade (knee) was a surprise scratch tonight and his status for Monday's game is unclear -- if he sits out again, Miller would be a worth spot-starter for anyone in need of 3-pointers. |
