The Miami Heat went on the road and dropped two games in a row to the Philadelphia 76ers and now head back home with the series tied 2-2. Game 5 on Tuesday is absolutely massive for this squad and they'll be poised to respond after a couple of atrocious performances in the City of Brotherly Love.

That being said, here are 3 bold predictions for Game 5 versus the Sixers.

3 bold Heat predictions for Game 5 vs. Sixers

Butler shows out for 25+ points

The most reliable player in the playoffs for the Heat has been Jimmy Butler. In Philly, he was about the only one actually producing, scoring 40 points in Game 4 and 33 in Game 3. Butler is averaging 29 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 5.5 assists in the postseason thus far and continues to prove he's capable of delivering when the Heat needs it.

The Sixers had no answer for Jimmy Buckets defensively. He's getting whatever he wants on the offensive end, whether the Heat star is getting to the cup and finishing or pulling up mid-range and draining jumpers. There is no doubt the supporting cast must rise to the occasion for Miami, but Butler playing at a high level is extremely important as well. He'll do just that in Game 5 and pour in another 25+ points.

Oladipo and Herro step up

No Kyle Lowry means both Tyler Herro and Victor Oladipo will see even more minutes on Tuesday. Herro is struggling in the postseason, shooting only 29% form deep on 14.7 points per night. But, we've seen what the guard can do when the lights shine brightest. This is essentially a must-win game for the Heat and at home, Herro will ball out and play a key part in the outcome.

As for Oladipo, he is one of the best feel-good stories of these playoffs. The veteran is likely going to slot into the starting five in place of Lowry and the last time he did that, Oladipo scored 23 points in the series clincher against the Hawks. Oladipo is a baller and very capable of still consistently putting up solid numbers. He's shooting the ball well from all over and will continue to do so here. Don't be surprised if Oladipo goes off for 20+ to give Butler some much-needed first unit help.

Heat find their shooting, grab a much-needed win

Miami has relied on their three-point shooting all season long. They ranked first in the Association with a 37.9% clip from downtown. However, across the last two games, the Heat are draining a putrid 21% of their triples. The plethora of shooters on the roster makes it hard to comprehend this, but it's simply because the rotation is just ice cold. The likes of Herro, Max Strus, Oladipo, and Gabe Vincent, among others, are getting good looks, they're just not landing.

However, it will change on Tuesday. Erik Spoelstra should be getting Duncan Robinson more involved after a couple of DNPs because he is a fantastic shooter from anywhere on the floor. With the FTX Arena faithful behind them, the Heat are going to break out of their cold streak and shoot the lights out in Game 5. It will be the difference-maker in taking a 3-2 series lead. A team like Miami which thrives from long range can only struggle for so long. This is the night the flip switches.
