Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro will miss a second consecutive game due to a groin injury.

Smart previously missed Game 1 with a mid-foot sprain, but returned for Game 2 and Game 3.

Robert Williams is available once again after missing Game 3 due to left knee soreness, but played in a Game 4 win to tie the series 2-2.
