The NBA Draft Lottery is tonight, and we’ll finally get to see who won the sweepstakes for Zion Williamson.

We are over a month away from the NBA Draft, but the drama is going to go up a notch tonight when we finally find out the official draft order. Zion Williamson is the expected No. 1 pick, but the question is what team will have the right to take (or trade) him?

Here’s everything you need to know about tonight’s lottery:

Odds

New York Knicks – 14.0%
Cleveland Cavaliers – 14.0%
Phoenix Suns – 14.0%
Chicago Bulls – 12.5%
Atlanta Hawks – 10.5%
Washington Wizards – 9.0%
New Orleans Pelicans – 6.0%
Memphis Grizzlies – 6.0%
Dallas Mavericks – 6.0%
Minnesota Timberwolves – 3.0%
Los Angeles Lakers – 3.0%
Charlotte Hornets – 1.0%
Miami Heat – 1.0%
Sacramento Kings – 1.0%

Pick Swap Scenarios

There are a number of different ways teams can move around in the lottery depending on where a pick lands. Here are all of the scenarios from previous trades that could move a team up or down the order:

  • Cleveland Cavaliers will send their pick to Hawks if it’s not in top 10.
  • Memphis Grizzlies will send their pick to Celtics if it’s not in top 8.
  • Dallas Mavericks will send their pick to Hawks if it’s not in top 5.
  • Sacramento Kings will send their pick to Celtics (if it’s more favorable than Sixers’ pick and not No. 1). Otherwise it goes to the Sixers.
