These are the percentages of each franchise to have a top-3 pick in the NBA Draft 2026

The 2026 NBA Draft is approaching, filled with talent and players destined to make a mark on an era and change franchise dynamics. This is the reason behind the tanking that has been taking place, and it's worth reviewing how that has translated in terms of the odds prior to the Draft Lottery. The ultimate desire of every franchise is a pick in the top-3.

Great expectations surround Dybantsa, Peterson, and Booze, seen as key pillars of a future project aimed at glory. The goal of many NBA franchises for months has been to lose games in order to have the best possible chance of securing a top-3 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. As the regular season has concluded, we can see the efforts of several franchises have paid off.

Indiana Pacers, Brooklyn Nets, and Washington Wizards are the teams with the highest chances of landing one of the top three picks, all sitting at 40.1% of possibilities. Utah Jazz and Sacramento Kings follow closely behind (34.1%), completing a top-5 that excludes teams in dire need, like the Dallas Mavericks. The Mavericks hold a respectable 21.1%, which could potentially pair one of these young talents with Flagg.

Current odds to land a top-three pick in the 2026 NBA Draft:

Pacers: 40.1%
Nets: 40.1%
Wizards: 40.1%
Jazz: 34.1%

Especially noteworthy is that the Oklahoma City Thunder have a slight chance, 5.1%, of landing a top-3 pick. If a top-3 pick ends up with the Thunder, it would significantly alleviate the challenges they will face in the summer with important player contracts. Furthermore, if logic prevails and the Pacers secure one of the top three selections, their project could become a strong title contender if Haliburton returns in good form.
