The NBA Draft order is set after the lottery. The Dallas Mavericks fell out of the first round. Here is a look at the order.

NBA Draft night takes place on June 20. Dallas Mavericks fans got a bit of disappointment on May 14. They did not move up in the lottery. Dallas is now forced to send their first-round pick to the Atlanta Hawks to complete the Luka Doncic trade from last year.

By spreading out the lottery odds, the NBA saw plenty of chaos in the top four. Three teams moved up including the Lakers that were 11th prior to the lottery. Here is the set 2019 NBA Draft order.

2019 NBA Draft order

1. New Orleans Pelicans

2. Memphis Grizzlies

3. New York Knicks

4. Los Angeles Lakers

5. Cleveland Cavaliers

6. Phoenix Suns

7. Chicago Bulls

8. Atlanta Hawks

9. Washington Wizards

10. Atlanta Hawks (via Dallas Mavericks)

11. Minnesota Timberwolves

12. Charlotte Hornets

13. Miami Heat

14. Boston Celtics

15. Detroit Pistons

16. Orlando Magic

17. Brooklyn Nets

18. Indiana Pacers

19. San Antonio Spurs

20. Boston Celtics (via LA Clippers)

21. Oklahoma City Thunder

22. Boston Celtics

26. Cleveland Cavaliers (via Houston Rockets)

27. Brooklyn Nets (via Denver Nuggets)

28. Golden State Warriors

29. San Antonio Spurs (via Toronto Raptors)

30. Milwaukee Bucks

The Dallas Mavericks lost their first-round pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, but they still have the 37th overall pick in round two. The Mavs will be looking to add a solid rotation piece with that selection as they did last year by choosing Jalen Brunson.

Final thoughts

The NBA Draft order is set. Expect to see some movement before draft night, though. There are always trades that alter the order between the lottery and the actual draft. Stay tuned for news on that front.

The Dallas Mavericks will now be shifting their focus to free agency to improve their roster. They have Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis, but they need pieces to push them into the playoffs in a difficult Western Conference.
