When is the 2024 NBA Draft Lottery?
Mark your calendars for May 12, 2024, as the 2024 NBA Draft Lottery, presented by State Farm, will take place in Chicago.
Which teams will participate in the 2024 Draft Lottery?
The 14 teams that miss out on the NBA Playoffs will be eligible for the Draft Lottery. Final odds for each team will be determined once regular season tie-breakers are settled.
What are the odds for each team in the Draft Lottery?
The odds for each team vary based on their regular-season performance, with the worst-performing teams having higher odds for the top pick. Here are the default odds for each team:

What is the format for the Draft Lottery?
The revamped format, introduced in 2019, ensures that the team with the worst record will receive no worse than the fifth pick. The odds at the top are leveled, with the three worst teams having a 14 percent chance each of winning the lottery.
How specifically does the Lottery work?
The lottery process involves a meticulous drawing of ping-pong balls to determine the order of selection. Each ball represents a combination assigned to participating teams. The process is overseen by a representative from Ernst & Young to ensure fairness and transparency.
