MIAMI -- Heat star Jimmy Butler has been ruled out of Game 5 of Miami's first-round series against the Atlanta Hawks because of right knee inflammation, the team announced Tuesday afternoon about three hours before tipoff.

Butler woke up Tuesday feeling soreness in the knee and is considered day-to-day moving forward, a team source told ESPN.

Butler had been dominant in the series thus far, averaging 30.5 points on 54.3% shooting (43.8% from 3), 7.8 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 2.8 steals as Miami built a 3-1 lead over the Hawks.

Miami is also without Kyle Lowry, who has yet to return from a left hamstring strain suffered in Game 3 and has been ruled out for Game 5.

The Heat handled the Hawks 110-86 in Game 4 with backup point guard Gabe Vincent posting 11 points and four assists in Lowry's place.

Coach Erik Spoelstra will have a variety of options to pick from to plug in for Butler, including Sixth Man of the Year candidate Tyler Herro and Duncan Robinson, the sharpshooting wing who scored 27 points off the bench in Game 1.
