Washington was followed by the Utah Jazz (tied for the fourth-best odds) at No. 2, the Memphis Grizzlies (sixth-best odds) at No. 3 and the Chicago Bulls (ninth-best odds) at No. 4.

That meant the two other teams tied with the Wizards for the best lottery odds -- the Indiana Pacers and Brooklyn Nets


fell to fifth and sixth in June's draft, respectively. However, that also meant the Pacers' pick was sent to the LA Clippers, as part of a trade that saw Indiana land center Ivica Zubac at February's trade deadline.

Indiana will now get its 2031 pick back instead, as the Pacers were going to keep their pick in this year's draft only if they moved into the top four spots in the lottery.

Wow, that's super unlucky for the Pacers. My condolences
