The Golden State Warriors will pick in the lottery after failing to make the NBA playoffs for the fourth time in the last seven years. Following a Play-In Tournament defeat, the Warriors are most likely to land the 11th pick in the upcoming 2026 NBA Draft.
As it stands, Golden State has a 77.6% probability of picking in the 11th spot and a 12.6% chance of picking 12th.
That said, what are the odds that the Warriors win the lottery?
Golden State’s lottery odds
Golden State has a 2% chance to earn the No. 1 overall selection, and in total, they have a 9.4% chance to pick in the top four.
However, if the Warriors do end up with a top selection, there’s a good chance it may be used as trade bait in order to make another championship push as Stephen Curry enters the final year of his contract.
