The 2025 NBA Draft Lottery is set for Monday at 7 p.m. ET in Chicago, with expectations high for Duke's Cooper Flagg to be the top pick. The lottery's new format now gives three teams—Utah Jazz, Washington Wizards, and Charlotte Hornets—an equal 14% chance for the coveted No. 1 overall selection, thanks to their dismal records last season. Following them are the New Orleans Pelicans, Philadelphia 76ers, and Brooklyn Nets with lower odds.

The Brooklyn Nets have appointed head coach Jordi Fernandez as their official lottery representative, marking a significant event after the team's struggles post their superstar era, which featured Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. Many believe Flagg, at only 18 years old, holds the potential to be a franchise-changing player, having averaged 19.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 4.2 assists during his freshman year.

The Oklahoma City Thunder prepare to face the Cleveland Cavaliers in a highly anticipated matchup dubbed 'The Rematch' after their recent regular season clash. Unfortunately for the Thunder, they face significant challenges with injuries to key players.

Despite these setbacks, the betting line remains relatively stable, now favoring the Thunder by only two points. This slight decline in favor reflects the uncertainty surrounding their injury situation, leaving fans curious about Vegas's perspective. The Thunder are eager to avoid a season sweep at the hands of the Cavaliers, adding to the stakes of this intriguing matchup.
