The 2021 NBA draft order is almost set. The NBA completed a series of coin flips to break ties from the regular season, establishing the full order of picks 1-60 heading into the draft lottery, set for June 22 on ESPN.
The lottery will determine the top four picks in the draft, with each of the bottom three teams in the league -- the Houston Rockets, Detroit Pistons and Orlando Magic -- having an equal 14% chance of landing the No. 1 overall pick. This will be a critical draft lottery not only because of the talent at the top, with five potential superstars leading this draft class, but also because of trades of protected picks that might or might not convey, depending on how the lottery goes:
-
The Houston Rockets enter the lottery at the No. 1 spot. They have a 52% chance of remaining in the top four and keeping their pick. If the pick falls to No. 5, the Oklahoma City Thunder can swap Miami's pick (No. 18) for Houston's.
-
The Minnesota Timberwolves enter the lottery at the No. 6 spot. They have a 27.6% chance of moving up into the top three and keeping their pick. Otherwise it goes to the Golden State Warriors
-
The Chicago Bulls enter the lottery at the No. 9 spot. They have a 20.2% chance of moving up into the top four and keeping their pick. Otherwise it goes to the Orlando Magic.
Those spots won't be determined until June, but we now know the order for the Atlanta Hawks and New York Knicks (who tied in the regular season), as well as the three-way tie for the Los Angeles Lakers, Portland Trail Blazers and Dallas Mavericks -- the latter two of whom have already traded their picks (to Houston and New York respectively).
