MANILA, Philippines – The odds turned in favor of the Phoenix Suns.
The Suns landed No. 1 in the 2018 NBA Draft Lottery and maybe they have Josh Jackson to credit for their good fortune as the rookie said he wore his lucky underwear. True enough, it worked!

The Phoenix Suns won the first overall pick for the first time in franchise history, so they have every reason to whoop it up. The team had endured years of bad lottery luck, including losing a coin flip way back in 1969.
Join the party.

Sacramento guard De’Aaron Fox also got all excited as the Kings jumped from 7th to second overall. Well, the Kings needed all the luck they could get following some poor draft decisions and trades the past years.

Holding on to just a 42.6% chance at landing in the top 3, the Atlanta Hawks certaily beat the odds. Maybe that’s why Atlanta had Kermit the Frog expressing their feels on Twitter as the Hawks leapfrogged over several teams.
