Battier Logs 34 Minutes

Well, yesterday's question about Shane Battier's playing time seems to have been answered tonight. After playing just 22 minutes yesterday, Battier logged 34 minutes today and tallied 15 points (on 5-for-7 shooting), two threes, eight boards, and a steal. It looks like his PT is not going to take a permanent hit...especially if he keeps shooting as well as he has in his last four games. In fact, this might be a great time to buy low on the unheralded fantasy producer, as he seems to have finally emerged from a lengthy slump.
