The New York Knicks will partake in the draft lottery for the third straight season on Tuesday, May 14. They share the highest odds — 14 percent — with the Phoenix Suns and Cleveland Cavaliers for first overall.
There is a long, recent history of the lottery, which has become a televised spectacle. 14 teams arrive in one place to test their luck and hope for the first chance to choose a player for their next roster.
The odds don’t always result in a team’s favor, however, so the Knicks hold no guarantees for the first overall pick.
