NBA draft lottery odds at stake when Suns host Kings
PHOENIX -- Working title for the Phoenix Suns' season: You CAN win for losing.
The ping-pong balls will have the final say, but by losing 25 of their last 26 games, the Suns have positioned themselves with the best chance of the No. 1 pick in the June draft. The math is not final. A few losses still remain.
But as the Suns (19-59) prepare for another game without their top three scorers -- against Sacramento at Talking Stick Arena on Tuesday -- they have all but assured themselves of the best chance to win the NBA draft lottery. Memphis (21-56), Atlanta (22-55) and Orlando (22-54) are the other contenders.
