The Charlotte Hornets received another gift of lottery luck. Since they finished tied with the Blazers for the third worst record in the league, a random drawing was done to see who would slot in at the third slot and fourth slot in the lottery. The winner of that drawing was your very own Charlotte Hornets.
NBA Draft tiebreaker results:
No. 3 pick: Charlotte Hornets
No. 4 pick: Portland Trailblazers— Jonathan Givony (@DraftExpress) April 22, 2024That gives the Hornets ever-so-slightly better odds to win the lottery (13.3% vs 13.2%), but more importantly, it means the Hornets would pick ahead of the Blazers should neither team get their lottery balls drawn.
