But we now see more clearly<\/a>with the results of the play-in, and the qualification of the Heat and the Grizzlies.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.basketusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Capture-decran-2025-04-19-a-08.56.37.png\")
<\/p>\n
And the big winners of the evening at the draft are the Thunder<\/strong>THE Spurs<\/strong> and Wizards<\/strong>.<\/p>\nThanks to the qualification of the Heat as a playoff, Oklahoma City recovers the 15th choice of Miami, which was only protected if Miami missed the playoffs. Thanks to the elimination of Hawks, San Antonio obtains another choice, in addition to his, in the “Lottery”. Even if the chances he ends up in the top 4 are almost zero …<\/p>\n
The qualification of Grizzlies in Playoffs also offers a choice of draft in the first round to the Wizards, as part of the transfer of Marcus Smart. Even if it will be necessary to wait to know who won the “tiebreaker” between the Warriors, the Bucks and the Grizzlies (which all finished with 48 victories) to know the position of this choice.<\/p>\n
As a reminder, the “Lottery” will take place on May 12, on the side of Chicago.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
