The Milwaukee Bucks host the Miami Heat in Game 1 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs at Fiserv Forum on Saturday afternoon.

The Bucks (46-26 in the regular season) won the Central Division and ended the regular season as one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference, though they ended the season with a 118-112 loss to the Chicago Bulls while posting a 3-2 record over their last five contests. Milwaukee's biggest strength this season was their scoring power, though, as they scored a league-high 120.1 points per game. In fact, Milwaukee had seven players who averaged at least 10 points per game, including two that surpassed the 20-point-per-game mark in Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton. Antetokoumpo averaged 28.1 points and 11.0 rebounds per game -- those numbers were not near his previous two campaigns where he won the MVP award, but he was the Bucks' best player in the regular season by a wide margin. Milwaukee also posted a 26-10 mark at home.

The Heat (40-32 in the regular season) were not as dominant as the Bucks, but they still ended eight games above the .500 threshold and should be a complicated team come playoff time. Their star duo of Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo should do most of the heavy lifting, with Butler averaging 21.5 points and 7.1 assists per game while Adebayo produced 18.7 points and 9.0 rebounds per tilt -- both carried Miami to a second-place finish in the Southeast Division. One area where the Heat must improve is their offensive play, however, as their mark of 108.1 points scored per game ranked as the sixth-worst in the NBA despite having at least eight players scored at least 10 points per game throughout the campaign. Miami also posted a 19-17 mark on the road, so they're far from being dominant when playing on enemy soil.
