Full List of 2026 NBA Draft Lottery Team Representatives

Two days away from the 2026 NBA draft lottery taking place, the league has unveiled the list of representatives for each team who will be present for the event.

The list of 14 on-stage representatives includes Vince Carter (Brooklyn Nets), Kon Knueppel (Charlotte Hornets), Alonzo Mourning (Miami Heat) and John Wall (Washington Wizards).

In addition to those appearing on-stage, the league also announced the list of team participants who will be in the drawing room as the lottery takes place.

The Wizards, Nets and Indiana Pacers are tied for the best odds to land the No. 1 overall pick at 14.0 percent, with the Utah Jazz and Sacramento Kings next in line at 11.5 percent.

From that group, the Pacers are the team paying extra close attention to how the results play out. They took a calculated risk at the trade deadline to acquire Ivica Zubac from the Los Angeles Clippers by giving up two draft picks, including a protected 2026 selection.

The protections on that pick range from No. 1 -4 and 10-30, so if the Pacers land between five through nine, it will convey to the Clippers.

Another team keeping a close eye on the lottery results are the Atlanta Hawks. Despite making the playoffs with 46 wins, they have a 40 percent chance to pick in the top four since they will get the most favorable selection between the New Orleans Pelicans and Milwaukee Bucks.

The last team with the best odds that went on to win the lottery was the 2023 San Antonio Spurs, who selected Victor Wembanyama. The last two lottery winners — the Hawks in 2024 and Dallas Mavericks in 2025 —both had significant jumps to get the No. 1 pick.

Dallas entered the lottery last year with just a 1.8 percent chance and the 11th-best odds to pick first. If that same scenario were to play out again this year, the Golden State Warriors would pick No. 1.

Right behind the Warriors are the Oklahoma City Thunder, who have a 1.5 percent chance to win the lottery as they are off to a 6-0 start this postseason in their quest to repeat as NBA champions.

B/R's Jonathan Wasserman has A.J. Dybantsa projected to be the top pick in his most recent mock draft, followed by Darryn Peterson, Cameron Boozer, Caleb Wilson and Darius Acuff Jr. rounding out the top five.

The lottery results will be revealed on Sunday at 3:00 p.m. ET on ABC.
