With the Dallas Mavericks and their fans analyzing ping-pong ball odds — rather than NBA playoff matchups — for the first spring since Luka Doncic’s rookie...
In bad-luck scenarios: Dallas will send any pick at No. 11 or below to the New York Knicks as final payment for the January 2019 trade to acquire Kristaps Porzingis.
On the evening of May 16, NBA officials, representatives from each of the 14 teams that failed to make the playoffs, representatives from accounting firm Ernst & Young and select media members will turn over their phones and laptops and enter an isolated room at McCormick Place for the drawing. Inside, an official will place 14 ping-pong balls, numbered 1 through 14, into a lottery machine and conduct four drawings of four balls apiece. One thousand possible combinations of any four of those 14 balls will be distributed among the lottery teams — with the three worst teams receiving the most options.
The Mavericks will have a 3% chance of those 1,000 four-ball number combinations to move up to No. 1, a 3.3% chance at No. 2, a 3.6% chance at No. 3 and a 4% chance at No. 4. For the No. 1 pick, the lottery machine will mix the 14 ping-pong balls for 20 seconds before the first is removed.Rinse and repeat for balls No. 3 and 4.
