NBA Draft Lottery Approaches With Top Teams Holding Odds

The NBA Draft Lottery takes place at 3 p.m. ET Sunday, May 10, at Chicago's McCormick Place convention center and will air on ABC. The Washington Wizards, Indiana Pacers, and Brooklyn Nets each have the highest odds (14%) to land the top pick. This may be the final lottery in its current format before the league implements a new system next season.

Fourteen non-playoff teams are eligible for the lottery, with the defending NBA champion Oklahoma City Thunder potentially winning with the Los Angeles Clippers' pick. Recent years have seen teams jump from the bottom of the lottery into the top three, including the Dallas Mavericks who won last year and selected Cooper Flagg. sweetbonanza.qpon
