Today is the day. The outcome of the 2021 NBA Draft Lottery will hold massive implications for the future of the Golden State Warriors. What are the best and worst-case scenarios tonight?

It’s here. The 2021 NBA Draft Lottery takes place tonight and the Golden State Warriors will be hoping for the best-case scenario.

This year’s lottery is a little more complicated than others. Unlike last year, the Warriors potentially have two picks in the lottery. It all depends on where the Minnesota Timberwolves’ pick falls, as the Dubs obtain the rights to this selection so long as it isn’t in the top three.

As for their own pick, the Warriors sit at the back of the lottery with the worst odds of winning. Nonetheless, there is a slim possibility they pull off a miracle. To be exact, there’s a roughly three percent chance the Dubs get a top-three pick via their own first round selection.

Regardless, there are a few ways this lottery could go. One route provides the Warriors with more than enough assets to retool their roster over the summer while the other puts them in a tough situation. Let’s break down the best and worst-case scenarios tonight.
