NBA's official injury report
The Heat come into the evening with a 3-1 lead, so they have a chance to close out the series with a victory in Game 5.
That said, the Knicks can force a Game 6 back in Miami on Friday evening (a potential Game 7 would be on Monday).
In the first round, the Heat beat the Milwaukee Bucks (who were the first seed) in just five games.
They are the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference and coming off a season where they made it to Game 7 of the Conference Finals.
Meanwhile, the Knicks are the fifth seed and defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round (also in five games).
They made the NBA Playoffs in 2021 but are coming off a year where they missed the postseason.
Whoever wins the series will advance to the Eastern Conference Finals and face off against either the Boston Celtics or the Philadelphia 76ers (the 76ers have a 3-2 lead in the series).
