Complete 2019 NBA Draft Lottery Odds. Who Lands the No. 1 Pick?

This is one of the most important NBA draft lotteries in the past 10 seasons. Zion is the clear favorite to go No. 1 with Murray and Barrett likely following. Any team that lands a Top 3 pick would likely be happy but after that no player has really shown enough to get excited about 4.

Traded/Protected Picks Via ESPN

There are three protected or traded picks to know about in the lottery, along with projections from ESPN’s Basketball Power Index on where they land:

Mavericks-Hawks
The Mavericks owe their pick to the Hawks if it falls outside the top five. If not conveyed, the pick remains top-five protected in 2020, falls to top-three protected until 2022 and becomes unprotected in 2023.
Chances Dallas keeps its pick: 26.2 percent
Chances Atlanta gets a top-eight pick from Dallas this year: 29.4 percent

Grizzlies-Celtics
The Grizzlies owe their pick to the Celtics if it falls outside the top eight. If not conveyed, the pick falls to top-six protected in 2020 and then becomes unprotected in 2021.
Chances Memphis keeps its pick: 55.6 percent
Chances Boston gets a top-10 pick from Memphis this year: 43.2 percent

Kings-Celtics-76ers
The Kings owe their pick to the Celtics unprotected, but the 76ers will get the selection if this becomes the No. 1 pick. In that scenario, Boston would get Philadelphia’s pick.
Chances Philadelphia gets the No. 1 pick from Sacramento: 1.0 percent
Chances Boston gets a top-four pick from Sacramento: 3.8 percent

Some of these are confusing as hell. 76ers getting the No. 1 Pick from the Kings (1%) or Boston getting a No. 2-4 Pick (3.8%) are really the only things that would effect the whole league. If the Mavs get Zion, Doncic, and Porzingis (6.0% assuming he goes No. 1) the NBA is cancelled for the next 10 years.

The Lottery kicks off at 8:30 tonight on ESPN.
