This Sunday, three teams—the Washington Wizards, Indiana Pacers, and Brooklyn Nets—will be sitting on the edge of their seats with the highest hopes of landing the No. 1 overall pick. While the lottery might seem like a complicated math experiment involving ping-pong balls and secret rooms, it’s actually a system designed to balance fairness with a bit of luck. Here is everything you need to know about how we got here, how it works, and why it matters.
