The 2017 NBA draft lottery will be held on Tuesday, May 16.

Where could the Suns be picking?

With that lottery approaching, the Heat Index decided to take a look at Phoenix’s (as well as other teams’) odds at getting the No. 1 overall pick in the June 22 NBA draft (odds through April 11 games).

The Suns finished their season with the second worst record in the league, so they have the second-best odds in the NBA draft lottery.

The Lakers are locked in at the third-best odds.

Take a look at the odds of where each team could end up picking in the draft now. Percentages courtesy of tankathon.com.
