NBA draft lottery brings its annual wave of intrigue Monday (7 p.m. ET, ESPN), with the entire league descending on Chicago and offseason proceedings fully underway for most every franchise. With Cooper Flagg as the consensus projected No.

The Nets' full reset became complete when they traded Mikal Bridges for draft picks. The timing made sense before a hyped 2025 draft class. Winning the lottery would obviously justify their moves and strategy. They'll have the sixth-best odds at 9.0 percent to add Cooper Flagg, who'd receive top-option reps for a rebuilding roster.

Boston went into the night with an 8.5 percent chance of landing the No. 1 overall pick. The franchise hasn’t had the top selection since 1997, when it picked Joe Thornton.
