How to Watch the 2021 NBA Draft Lottery Live For Free Without Cable
For four teams, the dream of a Larry O’Brien trophy is still a possibility, as the Clippers, Suns, Hawks, and Bucks are still in it to win the 2021 NBA Championship. Then there were other playoff teams who made the tournament but couldn’t finish.
For the teams who didn’t even get invited to the dance, there’s still a chance they’ll walk away with something pretty valuable — a top draft pick. Who will have a chance at projected #1 overall pick Cade Cunningham from Oklahoma State? What about talented players like USC’s Evan Mobley, the Ignite’s Jalen Green, or Gonzaga’s Jalen Suggs? We’ll find out this Tuesday, starting at 8:30 PM ET.

What Is a “Protected” Pick?
When a pick is “protected,” it means that it cannot be traded if it lands within the pick rights. For example, if Minnesota draws the third pick in the draft, they will maintain their pick and it will not be traded to Golden State — a future pick will be traded instead. However, if Minnesota lands at the 4th spot and upward, Golden State will take this year’s pick instead.
Background
This year’s draft will feature many stars of the 2021 NCAA Tournament, including Oklahoma State guard Cade Cunningham, Gonzaga’s Jalen Suggs, and Davion Mitchell of the national champion Baylor Bears. Also populating the top of mock draft boards are multiple G League players, including Jalen Green and Jonathan Kuminga, each of the G League Ignite. The Ignite is an exhibition team made up of veterans and high school players who skipped college to play pro basketball.
