As the NBA’s regular season concluded, the Bucks captured the NBA East’s three seed. They will face an opponent they may like to forget, the Miami Heat. The first round will be a revenge series against the sixth seed, who beat the Bucks in five games in the conference semifinals in 2020. The Heat went on to fall to the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA finals.
Milwaukee ended the regular season with a 46-26 record in the seventy-two-game season. For last season's runner-ups, they ended up with a 40-32 record. The winner of this series will play the winner of the first-round matchup between Brooklyn and Boston. The first game of the Bucks and Heat series is on Saturday.
