Following Game 4 loss to the Boston Celtics when LeBron James and Dwyane Wade were unable to come through in the clutch for the Heat, the focus transitioned to the Miami Heat's third wheel.

According to an ESPN report, the Heat plan to activate Chris Bosh for Game 5 on Tuesday, barring any setbacks in workouts or practices prior to the game. Bosh strained a muscle in his lower abdomen in the Heat's first-round series against the Indiana Pacers and has been out indefinitely since. An abdominal strain typically requires four to six weeks to heal.
After the Heat's 93-91 overtime loss to the Celtics in Game 4, which evened the series up 2-2, immediate intrigue has now turned to Bosh's health. The All-Star forward's return could provide Miami with an immediate boost. Or it could alter the team's chemistry. The Heat's offense has been focused around James and Wade more in Bosh's absence.
Before the game, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said there was no update on Bosh, who has been listed as out indefinitely.
Could the return of the Big 3 help or hurt the Heat at this point? That question won't be answered until Tuesday, if Bosh suits up as planned.
