The top three teams on the board and worst three teams in the league this season — the Houston Rockets, Orlando Magic and Detroit Pistons — each carried 14% odds to secure the No. 1 overall pick into lottery. Orlando won the top overall pick for the first time since 2004, when the Magic selected Dwight Howard.
The Pistons, who will pick fifth this year, won the lottery a year ago and selected Cade Cunningham No. 1 overall in 2021.
The Oklahoma City Thunder, meanwhile, own two lottery picks — the second thanks to the play-in loss by the LA Clippers — and three total first-rounders to go along with the No. 34 pick in the second round.
