The Heat wrapped up the regular season in decent form as they won four of their final five outings.
A 129-122 home win against Dallas was followed up by a 118-105 win in Detroit and a 129-101 victory in Philadelphia.
Miami then rebounded from a 114-108 loss in Washington with a 123-110 home win against Orlando.
The Heat suffered a 116-105 home defeat to Atlanta in the first round of the Play-In, but bounced back on Friday night with a 102-91 success against Chicago.
Milwaukee Bucks Form
Milwaukee put together a 58-24 regular season record that secured top spot in the Eastern Conference.
The Bucks went on a good run of form between late March and early April as they won eight times in 10 games to wrap up top spot.
That run included a 117-104 home victory over rivals Philadelphia, while the two defeats came against two of the NBA’s best, Denver and Boston.
Milwaukee were able to rest their star performers over the final couple of games and that resulted in a couple of defeat.
The Bucks fell to 137-114 defeat when they hosted Memphis, and were then beaten 121-105 in Toronto.
