NEW YORK (TICKER) — The WNBA on Thursday announced the set order for Tuesday’s draft lottery.

The five teams who did not advance to the playoffs this past season will be eligible for lottery positions one, two, three, five and six. The Atlanta franchise, announced this week as the league’s 14th team, will be assigned the fourth pick in the 2008 draft.

The Los Angeles Sparks, who posted a regular-season record of 10-24 in 2007, have the best opportunity to secure one of the top three picks in the draft. The Minnesota Lynx have the second best chance after also finishing 10-24 and narrowly edging the Sparks in the standings.

The Houston Comets (13-21) and Chicago Sky (14-20) have the next best chances, respectively, while the Washington Mystics (16-18) round out the lottery-eligible teams.

The date for the 2008 draft has yet to be determined.
