Good morning and welcome to the NBA Daily. Coming up, oof, draft lottery was chaotic. Jason Tatum went down, the Knicks went up 3-1, and the Warriors lose to drop to 3-1 against the Wolves. So we got Anthony Slater here to talk about that. Good morning, everybody. Good morning, S. Good morning. Chaotic. Oh, my God. Chaotic night.
Yeah. I mean, look, this is the NBA. I feel like the Jimmy Butler meme of him being tired during the NBA bubble just because of how much that's happened over the last 24 hours.
I feel like we jinxed Monday by saying that the second round had been a little bit of a letdown because of injuries. Oh, man. Continued, actually, last night.

Back to the actual lottery, the winners of the lottery. And, I mean, this is just a shocking development. The Dallas Mavericks, as you probably know by now, win the lottery. I know that your Raptors –
You were hopeful, but certainly this is at least the more entertaining outcome.
Yeah, look, the Raptors are not the only losers in this draft. I think a lot of the tankers are losers in this draft. You think about the Washington Wizards, the New Orleans Pelicans, the Utah Jazz, the Brooklyn Nets, all of these teams that, especially towards the end of the season, were methodically trying to lose, lost out methodically.
flattened lottery odds more even lottery odds have helped some of these other teams with lower chances to get opportunities to land the number one pick and somehow in a weird basketball gods type of way although you know it just it doesn't make sense how the basketball gods work in this scenario they bless the Dallas mysterious way
