With the NBA regular season officially over, we are one step closer to knowing who will get the No. 1 pick in this year's NBA Draft. The Detroit Pistons and the Washington Wizards have the best odds of winning the No. 1 pick in the NBA Lottery.

The complete 2024 NBA Draft order will be set by the NBA Draft Lottery on May 12, 2024, in Chicago, IL. The top 14 picks are determined by a lottery process involving the teams that did not make this year's NBA playoffs. The rest of the draft is done in order of win percentage.

The 2024 NBA Draft will be held on June 26-27, 2024. The first round will take place on Wednesday, June 26 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York - home of the Brooklyn Nets. The second round will be held at ESPN’s Seaport District Studios in New York on Thursday, June 27.

Below is the projected order for the top 14 picks based on the current NBA lottery odds. The Charlotte Hornets and San Antonio Spurs will be a part of a special draw to determine which receives better odds for the number one pick after tying with the 3rd and 4th worst records this year.
