NBA breaks 6 ties to sort out pre-lottery 2023 draft order

The NBA held random drawings on Monday to break six ties among teams with the same regular-season records, sorting out much of the order for June's NBA draft.

The Houston Rockets won a tiebreaker with the San Antonio Spurs after both teams finished 22-60, the second-worst record in the league.

While both teams still have a 14% probability of winning the No. 1 pick in next month's draft lottery, the Rockets are officially slotted as the No. 2 team as a result of Monday's tiebreaker and can fall no further than sixth overall.
