NBA draft lottery odds: Which team has the best shot at the No. 1 pick in 2023?

The 2022-23 NBA season is over, and for 14 teams, that means the draft — from the lottery to the night in which one franchise will have the chance to take phenom Victor Wembanyama — is now in their sights.

Of course, there’s a lot of other talent — including Scoot Henderson — who will be available. Per our latest mock draft from Bryan Kalbrosky, the G League Ignite star could go second overall, followed by Overtime Elite talent Amen Thompson.

That, of course, depends on which teams are drafting now. And on May 16, we’ll find out that info.

For now, here are the lottery odds for the No. 1 pick:
