But, ahead of the draft lottery Sunday, there is a chance that streak is broken, thanks to the Indiana Pacers.
LA traded center Ivica Zubac to the Pacers at the February trade deadline, receiving Bennedict Mathurin, Isaiah Jackson, two first-round picks and one second-round pick. One of those first-rounders is for this year. It is protected from picks Nos. 1 to 4 and 10 to 30.
