The NBA announced Tuesday night that if the Miami Heat close out their series against the Philadelphia 76ers either in Wednesday night's Game 5 at AmericanAirlines Arena or a potential Friday night Game 6 in Philadelphia, then an Eastern Conference semifinal series against the Boston Celtics would open Sunday at AmericanAirlines Arena.

The Heat lead the best-of-seven opening-round playoff series against the 76ers 3-1.

For the Heat, it ups the stakes in Wednesday's 7 p.m. game. With a loss, it could leave the Heat returning early Saturday morning from a possible Game 6 victory in Philadelphia and then having a single day to prepare for Boston, which has been idle since closing out a 4-0 first-round sweep Sunday against the New York Knicks.

Should Heat-76ers go to a Sunday Game 7 at AmericanAirlines Arena, then Game 1 of a possible Heat-Celtics series would open next Tuesday at AmericanAirlines Arena.
