The Heat come into the night trailing the series 3-1 after losing both Games 3 and 4 on their home floor in Miami, Florida.  

Therefore, a loss would result in the Nuggets winning the 2023 NBA Championship. 

If the Heat are able to pull off the upset, Game 6 will be back in Miami on Thursday night. 

Herro has been out for nearly two months with a hand injury, but ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports that the former Kentucky star will likely make his return to action. 

Via Wojnarowski: "Miami's Tyler Herro -- who was upgraded to questionable -- is expected to suit up for Game 5 and attempt a return tonight, sources tell ESPN."

During the regular season, the 23-year-old shooting guard averaged 20.1 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.2 assists per contest while shooting 43.9% from the field and 37.8% from the three-point range. 

The Heat are the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference and have defeated the Chicago Bulls (play-in tournament), Milwaukee Bucks (first seed), New York Knicks (fifth seed) and Boston Celtics (second seed). 

They have been to the Finals two times in the previous four seasons but won their last title in 2013.
