The NBA Play-In Tournament wrapped up, and the 2026 draft lottery standings are set. The selection order isn’t finalized yet, but the field is locked in.

The Orlando Magic punched their ticket as the Eastern Conference’s No. 8 seed, while the Charlotte Hornets landed in the final lottery spot at No. 14 with a 44-38 record.

Over in the West, the Phoenix Suns will take on the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder. That result locked the Golden State Warriors into the No. 11 position. Phoenix’s victory also shifted the Thunder’s pick from the Los Angeles Clippers to the twelfth-best lottery odds.

A couple of tie-breakers still need sorting out. The Utah Jazz and Sacramento Kings sit tied at No. 4. The Atlanta Hawks and Dallas Mavericks are knotted up at No. 7. Both decisions are scheduled for April 20, right after the NBA Playoffs tip off.

The projected shifts might seem small, but history shows otherwise. Dallas landed the top pick a few years back despite long odds, proving that even slim chances can shake things up.
