NBA Draft Lottery delivered one of the most shocking outcomes in recent memory, as the Dallas Mavericks — who held just a 1.8% chance of winning — secured the No. 1 overall pick.

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.

The Dallas Mavericks win the 2025 NBA draft lottery and the chance to pick Duke's Cooper Flagg at No. 1 overall. The ping-pong balls have spoken: Cooper Flagg might be headed to Dallas to start his NBA career and a fan base that lost Luka Doncic this season might have a new star to cheer for.
