The 2025 NBA Draft Lottery will take place on Monday in Chicago, which will be the beginning of the end of the Cooper Flagg sweepstakes. The Duke superstar is the odds-on favorite to become the No. 1 overall pick next month, and the winner of the lottery drawing will have the opportunity to change the direction of their respective franchise by drafting one of the best prospects in the modern era.
The first 14 picks of the 2025 NBA Draft — including the No. 1 overall pick — will be determined with the lottery drawing. The lottery will take place in a private room in Chicago and be unveiled live on ESPN at 7 p.m. ET with Utah, Washington and Charlotte owning the best odds (14%) to win the lottery and the right to select Flagg.
The New Orleans Pelicans have a 12.5% chance to receive the No. 1 pick, followed by the Philadelphia 76ers, who have a 10.5% chance of earning the top selection.
Per the NBA, the lottery drawings as usual are conducted for the first four picks, and the other lottery teams will continue to pick in inverse order of their regular season records. The lottery itself has 1,001 possible combinations and 1,000 combinations will be divvied out to lottery teams in advance. The ping-pong balls are then put through the lottery and the numbers on the balls will spit out a combination to determine the order.
