The 2025 NBA Draft lottery will be different from all the ones before it. Yes, there will still be 14 ping-pong balls for each lottery spot, and certain teams have better odds than others to land the No. 1 pick.
But this year, the draft lottery winner will get dibs on phenom Cooper Flagg. The 18-year-old forward from Duke, a potential generational prospect, will almost certainly be the top overall pick when the 2025 NBA Draft rolls around on June 25.
Before that, though, the draft order still needs to be set. The NBA Draft lottery, which begins at 7 p.m. ET, will determine which teams get the first 14 picks in the draft.
Follow along with us as the results come in from Chicago on Monday night.
Which NBA teams have a chance of getting the No. 1 pick?
Although the lottery consists of 14 spots, only 13 teams have a shot at the No. 1 pick this year. That’s because the Atlanta Hawks‘ pick goes to the San Antonio Spurs, who are already in the lottery pool.

The Utah Jazz, Washington Wizards and Charlotte Hornets lead the way with the best odds to win the lottery at 14% each. The New Orleans Pelicans have the fourth-best odds, at 12.5%. The Philadelphia 76ers have probability of getting the top pick is 10.5%, but if two teams with a lower probability jump them, they lose the pick to Oklahoma City.
The Brooklyn Nets have a 9.0% chance and the Toronto Raptors have a 7.5% chance at winning the lottery. The Spurs, who won the lottery in 2023 to select Victor Wembanyama, have a 6.0% chance at getting the first pick with their own first-rounder.
Next is the Houston Rockets at 3.8%. Despite ending 52-30, with the second-best record in the Western Conference, they have the rights to the Phoenix Suns‘ first-round draft pick regardless of where it lands. The Portland Trail Blazers sit just below the Rockets at 3.7%, and while neither of them are expecting to win Monday’s lottery, there is some hope as the Hawks carried a 3% chance into the 2024 NBA Draft lottery, and won it.

The Dallas Mavericks find themselves in the lottery a year after making the Western Conference Finals for obvious reasons — the Luka Doncic trade — and have a 1.8% chance at winning the lottery, and with it, their fanbase’s support.
The Chicago Bulls‘ probability of winning the lottery is 1.7%, while the Sacramento Kings have a 0.8% chance. The Spurs’ second first-rounder, which they acquired from Atlanta in the Dejounte Murray trade, has the worst odds of jumping to No. 1, at 0.7%.

Trent Alexander-Arnold and Liverpool fans: A sensible conversation about booing
Liverpool’s game against Arsenal on Sunday should have been a party — glorious weather, no pressure and a full house at Anfield to salute the new Premier League champions.Instead, the mood was soured by a hostile reception for Trent Alexander-Arnold in his first match since he confirmed he was leaving the club at the end of the season on a free transfer.AdvertisementThere has been a vociferous debate ever since about the rights and wrongs of the reaction. In an effort to cut through the noise, we are offering edited versions of that debate — first, as it played out on our dedicated Liverpool podcast Walk On between Liverpool writers James Pearce and Simon Hughes, and host Tony Evans; and also in the comments section of James’ article on Anfield’s reaction to Alexander-Arnold, published on Monday.Tony Evans: Did you see it […]
Jason Puncheon: ‘You have one chance to be part of history at a club. This is Palace’s’
For three glorious minutes, Jason Puncheon allowed himself to dream of winning the FA Cup for his club, the team he grew up supporting and whose ground was a stone’s throw from his home.His sumptuous volley thumped beyond David de Gea and into the back of the Manchester United net had put Crystal Palace ahead 78 minutes into the 2016 final. The finishing line was within sight. Then Juan Mata’s equaliser and Jesse Lingard’s extra-time winner turned euphoria into despair, dreams into dust.AdvertisementNine years on from that day and Puncheon, now a manager in the Cypriot league, still remains synonymous with the FA Cup for Palace fans. His attention will be drawn away from preparations for life in Cypriot First Division by Wembley again and Saturday’s 2025 final, where Palace confront Manchester City. The Eagles will be trying, once again, […]
Rafaela Pimenta interview: Sexism in football, the game’s ‘hostage’ problem and doing the Haaland deal
Rafaela Pimenta is wearing a beige splint over her left wrist. She tore the ligaments in her fingers and thumb playing, ironically enough, football.“It’s so stupid,” she says, understandably frustrated she cannot do daily tasks such as tying up her hair or typing on her laptop and phone.But what irks her far more is some people’s reaction, even today, when she tells them she is a football agent. As she sat down to see the doctor about her recent hand injury, he asked what she did for work.Advertisement“I’m a football agent,” said Pimenta. The doctor stopped writing. “That’s not possible,” he said.That triggers her.“Why?” she replied.“But you’re a woman?” he said.“He really said this to me!” Pimenta tells The Athletic. “He didn’t mean it badly (but) he was looking at me as if I had fallen from space.“I was so […]
Xabi Alonso made Bayer Leverkusen and the Bundesliga better. That’s some legacy
Before Xabi Alonso and after Xabi Alonso are distinct periods. For Bayer Leverkusen, but perhaps even for German football more broadly.Leverkusen first, because it’s simpler.The magnitude of what Alonso accomplished speaks for itself. Prior to 2024, Leverkusen had never been German champions in their 120-year history, either before the Bundesliga era started or after it began in 1963. To complete an unbeaten domestic double was not just unprecedented for the club, but also a feat unmatched by any team in German football history.AdvertisementAnd Alonso was one game away from winning a European trophy, too, which would have installed him and his players in the sport’s pantheon. Atalanta and Ademola Lookman ultimately put paid to that, but Alonso’s influence remains inarguably profound.In the first instance, because the group of players he inherited were only theoretically capable of what they accomplished. Leverkusen […]
