Forsberg: Time Lord's availability might be the biggest hurdle to facing the Celtics
Williams was a major contributor to Boston's 102-82 win over Miami in Game 4. The 24-year-old tallied 12 points, nine rebounds, and two blocks in 19 minutes. Smart missed Game 4, but the Defensive Player of the Year has been key to Boston's success throughout their playoff run. Their presence should go a long way toward helping the C's take a 3-2 series lead back to Boston.
As for the Heat, they'll be without Sixth Man of the Year Tyler Herro for the second consecutive game.
