The team with the worst record in the NBA will have a 64.1% chance of having a lottery pick in the top three. If the Lakers’ pick falls out of the top three, that pick will go to the Philadelphia 76ers. The Lakers originally gave up the pick, with protections, in the 2012 trade for Steve Nash. The Lakers play a road game against the Clippers on Saturday at 12:30, while Oregon will play North Carolina at 5:49 p.m. in Glendale, Ariz. If Oregon makes it to the championship game, they’ll play Monday evening — an off night for the Lakers.
