Do teams with considerably worse records get a better chance at #1, or are they all weighted equal relative to their finish?
I.E. Does it matter if Charlotte finishes with 15 wins or 18 as long as they still have the worst record?
We need Orlando to stage a serious rally so we can at least get to the second most ping pong balls.

After winning the lottery last year, I think we'll kind of pay for it this year by ending up with 5th or so pick. That would probably put us with Otto Porter, Shabazz Muhammad or Alex Len.

Just as long as they have the worst record they have the best chance.

For some reason, the worst team doesn't end up with number one. It's almost always one of the "better" teams.
Being in the bottom four would be for the best though...

No, chances are based solely on finishing order. There are a total 1000 possible combinations.
250 combinations are assigned to the worst team
199 combos to 2nd worst
156 to 3rd
119 to 4th
88 to 5th
63 to 6th
43 to 7th
28 to 8th
17 to 9th
11 to 10th
8 to 11th
7 to 12th
6 to 13th
5 to 14th
If two teams have the same record, they average the two slots they cover (if two teams tie for 6th, they each get 53 combos).
