NBA Draft Lottery 2024 format

The NBA draft Lottery started in 1985 when the NBA Board of Governors voted to adopt a lottery system among the non-playoff teams. This was done to determine the top order of picks, while the rest were done in inverse ranking system.

With few changes over the period, The NBA Board of Governors adopted a new system that allows three teams with the worst win-loss record to have equal chances of landing the top spot. The teams with the worst record would ensure a pick from the top 5 prospects.

The three teams with the worst regular-season records will have a 14% chance of winning the lottery. Only the top 4 picks are drawn through the lottery and later the teams will continue to pick in inverse order of their regular-season record.
