The Dallas Mavericks land the 2025 NBA Draft Lottery with 1.8% odds, the 4th-lowest to win the drawing since it was instituted in 1985.

The Dallas Mavericks pulled off the near-impossible on Monday night when they won the NBA Draft Lottery on a 1.8% chance. They jumped all the way up from 11th, becoming the team with the lowest odds to win the lottery since the NBA changed the lottery odds in 2019.

Much like its NHL counterpart, the NBA draft lottery ended with a completely shocking result. One week after the Islanders got the No. 1 pick in the NHL draft lottery with a 3.5 percent chance, the Mavericks did the same on Monday night with even smaller odds at 1.8 percent.
