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.

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.
