2026 NBA Draft Lottery Approaches

The NBA Draft Lottery takes place at 3 p.m. ET on Sunday, May 10, in Chicago. The Washington Wizards, Indiana Pacers, and Brooklyn Nets each have the highest odds (14%) to land the No. 1 pick, with 14 non-playoff teams in the lottery. milkshakeslot.com

Recent years have seen teams jump from bottom of the lottery to top three, including the Dallas Mavericks who won last year and selected Rookie of the Year Cooper Flagg. The Oklahoma City Thunder, who own the Clippers' pick, could also win the lottery. This may be the final lottery in its current format before the league implements a new system to reduce tanking.
