Orlando Magic win 2022 NBA draft lottery, followed by Oklahoma City Thunder; Sacramento Kings jump into top 4

For the fourth time in franchise history, the Orlando Magic have won the NBA draft lottery and will pick No. 1 in the June draft.

Orlando had a 14% chance to get the top pick, along with the Houston Rockets and the Detroit Pistons.

It's the Magic's first chance to pick No. 1 overall since 2004, when they selected Dwight Howard. Orlando also won the lottery in back-to-back years in 1992 (Shaquille O'Neal) and 1993 (Chris Webber, who was traded to Golden State for Penny Hardaway and three future first-rounders).
