The Miami Heat are currently slotted in at the 14th pick in the NBA draft, but the 2017 NBA draft lottery gives them a chance to get a top three pick. It’s a tiny, microscopic chance, but a chance nonetheless.
The Heat have a 98.2 percent chance of keeping the 14th pick, but a 1.8 percent chance to land a top-three pick and a 0.5 percent chance to get the first overall pick.
The draft lottery determines the order of selections for the first 14 picks of June’s NBA draft. The lottery results will be televised on Tuesday, May 16, at 8 pm ET on ESPN.
