The lottery will take place at 3 p.m. ET on Sunday, May 10 at Chicago's McCormick Place convention center and will be broadcast on ABC. This could be the final lottery in its current format before the league implements a new system to reduce tanking for better odds. Fourteen non-playoff teams are eligible, with recent history showing teams can jump from the bottom of the lottery into the top three positions.
