NBA Draft Lottery Order: Regular-Season Standings Tiebreakers, Traded Picks, Lottery Odds

The NBA draft lottery will not take place until May 15 in Chicago, but before any ping-pong balls are drawn to determine the order of the top-three picks, the lottery odds for each team must be established.

While the Suns locked up the league's worst record and the Grizzlies are alone at second-worst, the Mavericks and Hawks finished tied at third and a tiebreaker on Friday will determine which team will have the third-best lottery odds and which team will have the fourth-best chance at securing the top pick. The Kings and Bulls are tied for the league's sixth-worst record and will also have a tiebreaker.
