The Dallas Mavericks land the 2025 NBA Draft Lottery with 1.8% odds, the 4th-lowest to win the drawing since it was instituted in 1985.

The Dallas Mavericks pulled off the near-impossible on Monday night when they won the NBA Draft Lottery on a 1.8% chance. They jumped all the way up from 11th, becoming the team with the lowest odds to win the lottery since the NBA changed the lottery odds in 2019.

It was a surprising turn of events because the Mavs were slotted 11th in the NBA Draft lottery order. They moved up 10 spots, which according to CBS Sports Research is the biggest jump by any team in lottery history. The 1.8% is the 4th-longest odds by winner since lottery began in 1985. Here is the full 2025 NBA Draft order.
