The Milwaukee Bucks will kick off their 2025 NBA playoffs campaign against the Indiana Pacers in Game 1 of the first-round series at noon CT on Saturday, April 19 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. The game will be broadcast on ESPN and FanDuel Wisconsin. The full schedule of the series is yet to be determined, with last year's series featuring games in both Milwaukee and Indianapolis.
In the previous year, the Bucks secured a 109-94 victory in Game 1 against the Pacers despite Giannis Antetokounmpo's absence, with Damian Lillard leading the scoring. However, the Pacers bounced back to win the series in six games. The winner of this series will advance to face either top-seeded Cleveland or their play-in opponent.
