Despite an exciting and memorable season, the Charlotte Hornets find themselves on the back end of the draft lottery yet again on Tuesday. Even with making the play-in game, by falling to the Pacers and not making the playoffs, Charlotte remains in the lottery.
A tiebreaker earlier in the offseason saw the team land in the No. 11 spot of the lottery. While the Hornets’ odds of winning the lottery are minute at 1.8%, they could jump into the top four picks as happened last year. The probability of that happening is 8.5%.
All of this will take place on ESPN at 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday evening with representatives from each team in attendance. For the Hornets, breakout forward Miles Bridges will represent the team.
