NBA’s unlucky losers hope to hit the jackpot in the draft lottery
NBA Deputy Commissioner Mark Tatum at the NBA draft lottery. Tuesday's event starts at 8:30 p.m. By Candace Buckner Candace Buckner National Basketball Association with an emphasis in covering the Washington Wizards. Email Bio Follow May 14 at 5:30 AM The NBA draft lottery is Tuesday night in Chicago, and it may be the most consequential event of its kind in years, thanks to a potential league-altering talent at the top of the board.
Depending on their placement, picks for the Grizzlies and Mavericks could transfer to the Celtics and Hawks, respectively. The Kings’ pick will go to the Celtics if it is not No. 1. Duke forward Zion Williamson rampaged through college basketball this season.

He is almost universally considered a lock to go No. 1 overall, so whichever team wins Tuesday night’s drawing will have much cause for celebration.
Okay, what about the Wizards? The Washington Wizards have a 9 percent chance in landing the top pick in the draft, the first step toward the team’s recovery from a 32-50 record. But with the sixth-highest odds, the Wizards have almost as good a chance at getting the first selection as they do the fourth .
