The 2025 NBA Draft conversation is heating up with the College Basketball season in the rearview mirror and the 82 game regular season wrapped up in the NBA. Now, all sights turn to the NBA Draft Lottery in May.

The Pre-Lottery pick slots will be refined this week at the conclusion of the NBA Play-In Tournament. One thing that will not change is that the Utah Jazz –– who finished the regular season with a league-worst 17-65 record –– will have the best lottery odds with a 14% chance to land the top pick and the lowest they can tumble being fifth.
