The 31st annual edition of the NBA Draft Lottery will determine the order of selection for the first 14 picks of the 2015 NBA Draft.
Fourteen ping-pong balls numbered 1 through 14 will be placed in a drum. There are 1,001 possible combinations when four balls are drawn out of the 14, without regard to their order of selection. Prior to the lottery, 1,000 of those 1,001 combinations will be assigned to the 14 participating lottery teams.
The Minnesota Timberwolves finished the season with the NBA’s worst record (16-66), so they will be assigned the first 250 combinations.
