The first-round playoff series is a rematch from the first round of the 2024 Playoffs, in which the three-seed Bucks were upset by the six-seed Pacers. In that series, Indianapolis took Game 2 in Milwaukee, then won all three of their home games to advance to the next round.

The Bucks have not made it out of the first round of the playoffs since the 2021-2022 season, where they beat the Bulls in five games but then fell to the Boston Celtics in seven.
