How to Watch 2022 NBA Draft Lottery Live on May 17 Without Cable

As the 2022 NBA Playoffs head into the Conference Finals, teams that didn't qualify for the postseason will have a chance to secure their future at the 2022 NBA Draft Lottery. Eligible teams will be hoping that their ping pong ball is drawn out of the lottery machine, which will decide which selection they'll have in the 2022 NBA Draft. This year, the lottery returns to normal as an in-person event, taking place at the McCormick Place Convention Center in Chicago.
