Unlike their NBA brethren, the draft lottery has occasionally been kind to the Minnesota Lynx. In 2006, the franchise was awarded the No. 1 overall pick and selected superstar Seimone Augustus.

In Thursday’s lottery however, luck won’t be needed nearly as much. Thanks to an earlier trade, the Lynx hold New York’s 1st rounder and are assured of landing two of the top 5 picks in the 2010 draft.

According to the Lynx Media Relations department, here are the possible combinations:

Picks               Pct
1-2                  11.13
1-3                 15.49
1-4                 15.26
1-5                   0.92
2-3                 19.57
2-4                 17.70
2-5                   0.77
3-4                 15.21
3-5                  0.63
4-5                  3.32
