The NBA draft lottery takes place in Chicago on Tuesday, May 15 at 7:30 p.m. EST.

The Phoenix Suns will have the best odds at landing the top pick after going 21-61 this season for the worst record in the NBA. Along with the Suns, the Grizzlies, Mavericks, Hawks and Magic make up the other teams with the five best odds at getting the No. 1 pick.

The Nets, Lakers and Pistons are all in the lottery but will lose their picks because of various trades each team made. The Lakers pick will go to the 76ers if it falls at No. 1 or between 6-30 and will go to the Celtics if it lands somewhere between 2-5. The Nets pick will go to the Cavaliers and the Pistons pick will go to the Clippers.
