How do the odds work if we tie with a team? I see that right now Washington has a 26% chance of Top 4 while we have a 20% chance. If we tie, does that mean both teams end with the same odds? I understand that the coin flip would decide who picks first if neither moves up.
Yes, the odds are split evenly. Both teams would have 23% odds.
If you had told me early in the season that the Mavericks would miss the play-in tourney entirely, I wouldn't have believed it.
23.3% for each team
Are the Twolves lottery odds and pick dependant on where they finish after the regular season? Or after the play in results?
Draft order is determined by regular season record for everyone, including the teams that don't advance from the play-in. The play-in strictly determines who makes the playoffs (and the games basically only exist in some weird dimension/purgatory/void where they almost didn't occur).

I would have thought only with a major luka injury
Jazz weren't tanking for a while and slowly turned the tanking dial. They have only been full out tanking for the last few games or so
Coming back to this. I remember Golden State was trying at the trade deadline to get their pick back and even before the lottery there was discussions because Golden State wanted to get rid of the top-8 protections before the lottery happened. That sucked bad for us. No top-8 pick and we didn’t get anything extra either.
