NBA Draft Lottery 2014: Odds for the No. 1 pick
By Josh Sanchez
Fans of the non-playoff teams around the league are finally getting something to cheer about with the No. 1 pick in the 2014 NBA Draft up for grabs on Tuesday night. Up until now, we have not known the official order for the upcoming NBA Draft, but all of that is about to change.
The NBA Draft Lottery comes down to the luck of the draw, when ping pong balls are pulled on Tuesday night to determine who will be the owner of the No. 1 pick in the draft, The worse you were a season ago, the better chance you have to bring home the top pick and that is great news for the Milwaukee Bucks.
Outside of the Bucks, the Philadelphia 76ers and Orlando Magic have the best opportunity to claim the top pick. If there is an outside shot at pulling off a shocker, the Utah Jazz and Boston Celtics could hear their name called.
We won’t know our answer for sure until the final pick is announced, and that all begins at 8 p.m. ET on Tuesday night.
