The Hawks have a 10.5 percent chance of landing the NBA’s No. 1 draft pick tonight. It’s not a great chance, obviously, but it is … a chance.
For whatever it’s worth as a reference point, the Hawks’ odds of winning the NBA draft lottery are much better than the Falcons’ odds of winning next season’s Super Bowl or the Braves’ odds of winning this year’s World Series. The odds of those things happening are only 3.33 percent, according to Vegas Insider.
The Hawks’ odds of winning the draft lottery, also known as the Zion Williamson Sweepstakes, are about the same as the odds of the Braves winning the National League pennant this season (10/1) and better than the odds of the Falcons winning the NFC championship next season (15/1).
