On Friday, the NBA finalized the order for the league's 2016 draft, and along with it, the odds that each lottery team will have at landing the number one pick.

How were the 76ers affected?

In respect to their own draft slot, nothing changed, nor was it eligible to change. By virtue of the Sixers' 10-72 finish, the franchise was assured of having the most ping pong balls - 250 out of 1,000 - of any club. While there is no certainty that the Sixers will indeed choose first overall, they are guaranteed to select no lower than fourth.

What Friday's announcement did definitively settle was the status of one of the Sixers' two additional first-round picks.

Via an August 2014 three-way trade that involved the Cleveland Cavaliers and Minnesota Timberwolves, and centered around the moving of Kevin Love, the Sixers obtained the rights to the Miami Heat's 2016 first-round selection. Following a series of tiebreakers performed Friday, it was determined that the Heat's slot will fall 24th in the first round. So, the Sixers will go there.

The Sixers' third first-round pick will come two slots later, 26th overall, thanks to them having secured the Oklahoma City Thunder's choice in a February 2015 transaction that included the Denver Nuggets as well.

Also of note is that the Sacramento Kings won a tiebreaker for the eighth spot in the lottery. They will subsequently be allotted 19 ping pong balls. The Sixers, though, have the right to swap first-round positioning with Sacramento, due to a condition of last July's trade that netted the Sixers Nik Stauskas and Carl Landry.

The Los Angeles Lakers have the second-highest odds at the top selection; however, if they end up slipping to the fourth slot, the Sixers can claim their pick, too, as a result of the February 2015 Michael Carter-Williams deal. The Milwaukee Bucks and Phoenix Suns were part of that transaction.

The Sixers do not currently have a second-round pick.

The NBA Draft Lottery will be conducted in New York City on Tuesday, May 17th.
