The lottery system is how the NBA determines the draft order for the teams that don’t make the playoffs. It only determines the first 14 picks of the draft and has no impact on the second round. The first four picks are determined by the lottery, and picks 5-14 are determined by the reverse standings of whoever is left.

The Blazers will have a 3.7% chance of winning Monday night's draft lottery, 18 years after doing so with a 5.3% chance in 2007.
