Cleveland Plain-Dealer article on the lottery odds in the upcoming draft:

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Cleveland Cavaliers and New Orleans Hornets finished in a tie for the third-worst record in the NBA - meaning each will pick no lower than seventh in the 2012 NBA Draft.

The precise odds will be determined after the NBA breaks the tie through a random draw. But the chances for each team landing the top pick will look about like this:

•No. 1 pick - 13.8 percent.

•No. 2 pick - 14.2 percent.

•No. 3 pick - 14.4 percent.
