The Orlando Magic won the NBA draft lottery Tuesday and landed the No. 1 overall pick for the first time since they chose Dwight Howard in 2004.

It’s the fourth time lottery luck has struck for the Magic, who won in back-to-back years in 1992 and '93, taking Shaquille O’Neal and then trading the rights to Chris Webber for Penny Hardaway.

Orlando finished with the worst record in the Eastern Conference at 22-60 last season and missed the playoffs for the eighth time in 10 years. But they got a huge win in the lottery, in which they had a 14% chance of landing the top pick.

The draft is June 23 in New York.

Who will be the No. 1 pick? That remains to be seen, but the odds via FOX Bet had Auburn's Jabari Smith as the favorite. Here's how they broke it down.

Jabari Smith (Auburn) -110
Chet Holmgren (Gonzaga) +150
Paolo Banchero (Duke) +250
Jaden Ivey (Purdue) +5000
AJ Griffin (Duke) +5000

Oklahoma City got the second pick, followed by Houston and Sacramento. The Kings moved up from the No. 7 spot entering the lottery.

The lottery, with 14 ping-pong balls numbered 1 through 14 placed into a hopper, sets the first four picks. The remainder of the non-playoff teams go in reverse order of finish.

The Magic are committed to building through the draft after trading veterans Nikola Vucevic and Aaron Gordon in March 2021 for first-round draft picks in 2023 and '25. But last season they were missing two of the young players they are trying to build around, with Jonathan Isaac and Markelle Fultz recovering from knee injuries.

Following the lottery, which pertains only to the first round, here is the complete draft order for 2022.

1. Orlando Magic

2. Oklahoma City Thunder

3. Houston Rockets

4. Sacramento Kings

5. Detroit Pistons

6. Indiana Pacers

7. Portland Trail Blazers

8. New Orleans Pelicans

9. San Antonio Spurs

10. Washington Wizards

11. New York Knicks
