The Atlanta Hawks are looking to strike it rich tonight in the 2024 NBA Draft Lottery. With the 10th-worst record in the league in 2023-24, the Hawks earned exactly 3% odds at the number one overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. In addition, they will have just under 14% odds (a roughly 1-in-7 chance) at taking home a top-4 pick in the draft.
For an extended explanation of the machinations of the NBA Draft Lottery, please check out this piece I wrote about the nerdy details of it all.
General manager Landry Fields will attend the draft lottery proceedings in New York (hopefully) as the lucky talisman representative the Hawks need this evening.
