The Heat have a 3-2 lead in the series, so they can close out the Knicks with a victory on Friday.  

That said, the Knicks already avoided elimination in Game 5 (they won 112-103 on Wednesday), so if they can beat the Heat, they will force a Game 7 back at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Monday.  

Despite being the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference, the Heat have one of the best rosters in the league.

They have been to the Eastern Conference Finals in two out of the previous three seasons (and went to the NBA Finals in 2020). 

In the first round, they defeated the Milwaukee Bucks (who were the first seed) in just five games. 

As for the Knicks, they beat the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round (also in five games), which was their first time winning a playoff series since 2013. 

Whoever wins the Knicks-Heat series will advance to the Eastern Conference Finals and face off against either the Boston Celtics or the Philadelphia 76ers (the two teams are tied up at 3-3).
