Determining the NBA Draft Order

     1  All teams missing the playoffs are in the Lottery
     2  Teams with worse records get more chances at winning a top four pick (more ping pong ball combos)
     3  The 1st overall pick is awarded by a drawing of ping pong balls
     4  The 2nd overall pick is awarded by a drawing of ping pong balls
     5  The 3rd overall pick is awarded by a drawing of ping pong balls
     6  The 4th overall pick is awarded by a drawing of ping pong balls
     7  Remaining lottery teams, sorted by record, fill out picks 5-14
     8  Playoff teams, sorted by record, are assigned picks 15-30 - playoff seeds and outcomes have no impact
     9  Random drawing decides who picks first between teams with same record
   10  Tied lottery teams split their ping pong balls evenly, and any odd remainder and the better draft order position are given to the random
         drawing winner
   11  Second round is ordered by record without playoff consideration
   12  Second round ties are in reverse order of the teams' first round picks

  This looks like a mock scenario; if the teams were to finish and pick in the same draft order.  We'll see, what happens after the actual draft.

How will NBA draft lottery tiebreakers be decided?

The Oklahoma City Thunder are among teams who will have to wait to know exactly what odds they'll have in the draft lottery. They are tied with the Cleveland Cavaliers for the fourth-worst record in the NBA.

 

Oklahoma City, Cleveland and the other teams who have a record that is equal to another team's will have their draft or lottery spot determined by a coinflip, according to ESPN's Jonathan Givony.  Givony tweeted that the coinflips will take place on May 25 early in the day.

Thunder win pre-draft tiebreaker over Cavs, jump to 4 spot https://www.koco.com/article/thunder-win-pre-draft-tiebreaker-over-cavs-jump-to-4-spot/36536514

The teams finished with identical records this season, prompting a "coin flip" that didn't go the Cavs' way. The drawings were conducted by NBA executive vice president Kiki VanDeWeghe at the league office in Secaucus, New Jersey, and overseen by the accounting firm Ernst & Young.

The league decided five other teams among those with identical regular-season records: Chicago (31-41) won a tiebreaker with New Orleans and Sacramento; Charlotte (33-39) won a tiebreaker with San Antonio; New York Knicks (41-31) won a tiebreaker with Atlanta; Dallas Mavericks won a tiebreaker with the Lakers and Portland Trail Blazers; and the Clippers (47-25) won a tiebreaker with Denver.

The draft lottery is set for June 22, 2021 & The draft is July 29, 2021
