The Dallas Wings won the 2025 WNBA Draft Lottery Sunday, giving them the opportunity to select first overall and this year's top prospect, UConn's Paige Bueckers. The Los Angeles Sparks were given the second pick, followed by the Chicago Sky at third and Washington Mystics fourth.

Los Angeles had the best odds to win the lottery at 44.2%, followed by both Dallas and Chicago at 22.7% and Washington with a 10.4% chance. To make things interesting, though, Dallas owned the right to swap first round picks with Chicago after a 2023 trade which sent Marina Mabrey from Dallas to Chicago. The pick swap gave the Wings implied odds of 45.4% to win the No. 1 pick, just above the high chance the Sparks had to win the lottery.
