New lottery rules: you can't win by losing anymore

Under the NBA's new lottery rules, the 4th- through 10th-worst teams get flat odds and the three worst teams fall into a "relegation zone" with worse odds. All of the first 16 picks are drawn, and no team can win back-to-back lotteries or pick in the top five in three straight drafts. Last season had a record 281 games decided by 20 or more points.
