The five-team WNBA draft lottery has been set for Nov. 23 and the half-hour proceedings will be televised on ESPN.
The Dallas Wings, Minnesota Lynx, Seattle Storm, Washington Mystics, and Chicago Sky will vie for the top pick. The Lynx acquired their lottery position from the Chicago Sky, the Storm got theirs from the Los Angeles Sparks and the Sky obtained theirs from the Connecticut Sun.
Draft odds were calculated by the overall records of lottery-eligible teams over the past two seasons.
The Wings have a 42.0% chance of landing the top pick, followed by the Lynx (26.1%), Storm (16.7%), Mystics (9.7%) and Sky (5.5%). The Wings are guaranteed of at least the No. 3 pick.
The WNBA’s 25th draft in league history will take place April 13.
The Las Vegas Aces defeated the Phoenix Mercury in a four-game sweep in the most recent WNBA Finals to earn the franchise’s third title in the last four seasons.
