Andersen (thigh) traveled with the team to Indianapolis on Tuesday, but his status remains day-to-day, the Heat's official site reports.

Analysis:

Andersen missed the Heat's Game 4 win over the Pacers on Monday, and with the team playing so well without him, they probably won't be in a rush to get him back in the lineup. Rashard Lewis was moved into the starting lineup Monday so that the Heat could bring Udonis Haslem off the bench to fill in Andersen's defensive role off the bench. If Andersen has to miss any more games against the Pacers, it's possible Lewis and Haslem will stay in those roles.
