There have been some changes to the 2025 NBA Draft order as the two-day event nears.
The latest trade involving picks in this year's draft featured the Houston Rockets winning the Kevin Durant sweepstakes. Houston reportedly landed the league's eighth all-time leading scorer from the Phoenix Suns in exchange for guard Jalen Green, forward Dillon Brooks, the No. 10 pick, the No. 59 pick and four future second-rounders.
The 2025 first-round pick that the Suns received is their own selection that they originally used to acquire Durant from the Brooklyn Nets in 2023. Phoenix now owns two picks in the first (Nos. 10, 29) and second (Nos. 52, 59) rounds.

Who has the first pick in the 2025 NBA Draft?
The Dallas Mavericks are picking first overall thanks to one of the most unlikely draft lottery wins in NBA history. Months after controversially trading Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers, Dallas moved up 10 spots in the order to No. 1 despite boasting 1.8% lottery odds.
The Mavs are widely expected to kick off the draft by taking Duke forward Cooper Flagg, the consensus top prospect in this year's class.
