2024 NBA draft lottery: Date and time for pre-draft event
NBA draft season is here.
One and a half months before the 2024 NBA Draft, the 14 teams that missed this year's playoffs will participate in the NBA draft lottery to determine which one will hold the draft's No. 1 overall pick.
Odds for the draft lottery are not distributed evenly between all 14 teams. Instead, teams that finished with the worst regular season records have significantly better odds at receiving the No. 1 overall pick than teams that narrowly missed the playoffs.
The Detroit Pistons, Washington Wizards, Charlotte Hornets and Portland Trail Blazers are the four teams with the best odds this year.
