The four teams that did not make the playoffs in 2022 will be in the lottery, and odds are based on their records for the past two seasons.
Indiana (11-57) has 442 chances out of 1,000 to get the first pick, and the Fever are guaranteed to pick no lower than third.
Atlanta (22-46) has 276 out of 1,000 chances, Washington (25-43) has 178 chances out of 1,000 and the Lynx — who have a two-year winning record of 36-32 — have 104 chances.
South Carolina center Aliyah Boston is likely to be the top pick in the April draft.
In a news release, the WNBA said: In the drawing, 14 balls numbered 1-14 will be placed in a lottery machine and mixed. Four balls will be drawn to determine a four-digit combination. The team assigned that four-ball combination will receive the No. 1 pick. The four balls will then be placed back into the machine and the process will be repeated to determine the second pick. The team with the lowest cumulative two-year record whose numerical combinations do not come up in the first two four-ball combinations will select third and the remaining team will select fourth.
The Lynx, who have won nine of their past 10 games, are 3-0 vs. Washington this season.
