1.8% probability! The Mavericks won the No. 1 pick in a surprise, and the three giants Flag + Davis + Irving are here!

The 2025 NBA lottery ceremony was officially held in Chicago. The Dallas Mavericks, whose probability of winning is only 1.8%, won the No. 1 pick for the first time in history. This is the lowest No. 1 pick probability since the NBA's current lottery rules began in 2019. Looking at the history of the NBA, this is also the fourth lowest probability of winning the No. 1 pick in history.

In addition, the San Antonio Spurs won the top draw, the Philadelphia 76ers drew the Tanhua lottery, and the Charlotte Hornets, the Utah Jazz and the Washington Wizards, who had a 14% chance of winning, had not won the top three draws, and the three bad teams became the biggest losers in the lottery draw this year.

Talented Duke Blue Devils forward Cooper Flag has basically secured the No. 1 pick in this draft, and the Mavericks will use the No. 1 pick to bring Flag back to Dallas if nothing unexpected happens. After using Luka Doncic to trade Anthony Davis in the middle of the season, the Mavericks' lineup was hit by injuries and eventually got eliminated in the playoffs.

Nick Harrison's trading Doncic has made him a laughing stock, but after drawing the No. 1 pick, Harrison will be able to form the three giants of Flag, Davis and Irving next season. The Mavericks will rise again after falling for half a season. If Davis and Irving can stay healthy next season, the Mavericks will no longer be a fantasy to return to the playoffs and even enter the championship echelon.
