The 2024 NBA Draft Lottery determined the top picks for the 2024 draft. The Atlanta Hawks won the No. 1 pick in the lottery, with Washington, Houston, and San Antonio drawing No. 2–4 in some order the night of the event (the lottery results and the finalized top-14 order were published by multiple outlets). For reference, the official event took place in May 2024 and led to the June 2024 draft in Brooklyn and New York City.[1][3][4]

Odds and context in 2024: Pistons and Wizards led the field with strong chances to land No. 1, with other contenders including the Hornets and Trail Blazers also in the mix; the top picks’ outcomes were widely reported in real time across sports media during May 2024. These odds and the eventual No. 1 selection were covered by outlets like Sporting News, CBS Sports, and the NBA’s own coverage.[3][4][5]

How the 2024 order was determined: the lottery determined the first four picks via a drawing, with the remaining top-14 positions set by inverse order of regular-season records, and tiebreakers applied where applicable. The official statements and explanations from the NBA outlined this process and the results announced on the lottery night.[1][3]
