ROTATION: G Mario Chalmers, G Dwyane Wade, F James Jones, F Udonis Haslem, C Jermaine O'Neal. Bench -- F Michael Beasley, F Jamario Moon, G Daequan Cook, C Jamaal Magloire, C Joel Anthony, G Chris Quinn, F Yakhouba Diawara, C Mark Blount, F Dorell Wright, G Luther Head.
PLAYER NOTES: --F Michael Beasley went 5-for-12 from the field for 18 points in Game 5. They were meaningless points, but coach Erik Spoelstra seemed encouraged, saying his rookie is developing a feel for the playoffs.
--G Dwyane Wade ended with 29 points in 40 minutes in Game 5. Wade said his back began to loosen in the second half, and he is hopeful he'll be OK in Friday's Game 6.
--C Jermaine O'Neal ended with 14 points on 6-for-11 shooting. He was hardly the force he has been in past games because, with Dwyane Wade ailing, the Heat couldn't use O'Neal as effectively in its inside-outside offensive attack.
MEDICAL WATCH:
--G Dwyane Wade has been bothered by back spasms during the first-round playoff series.
--F Jamario Moon is out for the rest of the playoffs because of a sports hernia.
--G Luther Head is out with a broken left hand.
