ESPN Analytics has unveiled a 2026 NBA draft lottery simulator that enables fans to simulate the lottery process for the 14 teams that did not qualify for the playoffs. The actual lottery event is scheduled for May 10, 2026, at 3 p.m. ET, and will be broadcast on ABC and the ESPN App. The simulator provides real-time updates on the odds for teams to secure the No. 1 pick and allows users to experiment with various scenarios using a 'user picks' mode. Each team's odds for the top pick are as follows: Washington Wizards, Indiana Pacers, and Brooklyn Nets each have a 14% chance; Utah Jazz and Sacramento Kings have 11.5%; and the Memphis Grizzlies have an 8% chance, among others. The draft itself is set for June 23-24, 2026, at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, with Round 1 airing on ABC and Round 2 on ESPN.
