The NBA Draft Lottery has arrived. Some time between 8 and 8:30 p.m. ET, Detroit Pistons fans will know if watching their team win fewer than 25 games for the third consecutive season paid off.
Detroit enters the night, to be broadcast on ESPN, with the third worst record and even odds to nab a top-4 pick. They can also fall, of course, and have roughly a 60% chance of picking from 4-7 and a 40% chance of picking 1-3.
More specifically, the odds look like this, per Tankathon.

Of course, last year the Pistons had the second-worst record in the NBA and despite just a 14% chance of landing the first pick, they nabbed it for the first time in 50 years and selected Cade Cunningham.
