2011 NBA Draft Lottery Odds

The NBA Draft Lottery will be held on May 17th. Be sure to check out our Mock Draft right after, as we'll be updating the order and adjusting the mock if there are any changes that need to be made.

Odds of winning the 2011 NBA Draft Lottery are listed below. Team rankings based on standings as of the end of the regular season. If teams finish the season with the same record, they are given the average between the two. If three teams ties, add the 3 odds together then divide by 3. The draft lottery drawing only determines the top 3 positions, the remaining 4-14 picks are the inverse order of the final standing for the non-playoff teams.
