2023 NBA Draft Lottery Odds

   The 2023 NBA Draft Lottery is set to take place on May 16th at 8pm ET. Under the new system, the team with the worst record will pick no worse than 5th overall, while the bottom 3 teams in the league will all have identical odds at selecting first overall.

   Once the first 4 picks of the draft are determined, the remaining selections will be in the inverse order of the regular season records. Picks 15-30 and the entire 2nd round will also follow the inverse order of the standings.
