2026 NBA Draft Lottery: Odds, Date, Top Prospects

The defending NBA champion Oklahoma City Thunder could even win the lottery, as they own the Los Angeles Clippers' pick from the Paul George trade. This lottery may be the last in its current format, as the NBA likely implements a new system next season to reduce tanking for better odds. mieszalniakolorado.pl

Fourteen non-playoff teams are eligible, with the Wizards, Pacers, and Nets sharing the highest odds at 14% each. The lottery will be broadcast on ABC and coincides with the draft combine. Recent years have seen teams like the Mavericks jump from bottom of the lottery to top three, including last year's winner who selected Rookie of the Year Cooper Flagg.
