Yes. Confirmed rumor now. Utah Jazz beat Boston Celtics.
(1/2) Ties broken with random drawing to determine lottery chances: Jazz won tiebreaker with Celtics, Nets won tiebreaker with Wizards.

This just means if no teams win the lotto, we will pick ahead of the Celtics. Boston can still jump over Utah depending on what happens during the lotto.
Updated Lotto odds from Chad Ford:
NBA Draft order: 1. Bucks 25% to win lottery. 2. Sixers 19.9% 3. Magic 15.6% 4. Utah 10.4% 5. Celtics 10.3% 6. Lakers 6.3% 7. Kings 4.3%

Note: This are different than the "normal" odds because it's a 0.1% difference between Utah/Boston tied. And again, Boston are just as likely to draft ahead of us as we are to draft ahead of them. They can jump us still.
