Digest more
There's likely no surprise at the top, but as we get deeper into the lottery, teams will have some choices to make.
NBA fans are saying the draft lottery is rigged after the Mavericks got the No. 1 pick, securing the right to draft Cooper Flagg.
Just three months after trading Luka Doncic to the Lakers, the Mavericks will have the chance to draft a new franchise player in top prospect Cooper Flagg.
Three months after the most stunning, incomprehensible trade in NBA history sent Luka Dončić from the Dallas Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers, the Mavs cashed in on a 1.8 percent (one. point. eight. percent.) chance to land the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.
The Dallas Mavericks won the lottery. Entering the day with a 1.8% chance of landing the top pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, they overcame the odds and earned the right to pick Duke star Cooper Flagg next month, beating out more favored teams like the Utah Jazz, Washington Wizards and Charlotte Hornets.
The Sixers have a 42.1% chance of moving into the top four and a 10.5% chance of landing the No. 1 overall pick. However, they also have a 26.7% chance of falling to seventh and losing their pick.
