NBA Draft Lottery delivered one of the most shocking outcomes in recent memory, as the Dallas Mavericks — who held just a 1.8% chance of winning — secured the No. 1 overall pick.

The Dallas Mavericks have officially won the 2025 NBA Draft Lottery in the latest stunning turn of events for the franchise after trading superstar Luka Dončić to the Los Angeles Lakers just three months ago.

Unbelievably, Dallas experienced the ultimate lucky break of drawing the No. 1 pick and consensus top selection Cooper Flagg of Duke. This marked the first time in 17 draft lottery attempts that the Mavericks vaulted to a higher pick than the odds projected.
