You've got to hand it to the Bucks -- they beat the odds.

The odds favored the Bucks staying in the No. 7 spot in the NBA Draft Lottery Tuesday night, but they slipped from seventh to eighth. Bucks coach Scott Skiles' former team, the Chicago Bulls, jumped over the field to grab the top spot.

The Bucks have been in the lottery 10 times and have moved up twice and down four times. The two times they moved up, they grabbed the top overall pick.

Here is the draft order for the first round:

1. Chicago Bulls
2. Miami Heat
3. Minnesota Timberwolves
4. Seattle Supersonics
5. Memphis Grizzlies
6. New York Knicks
7. L.A. Clippers
8. Milwaukee Bucks
9. Charlotte Bobcats
10. New Jersey Nets
11. Indiana Pacers
12. Sacramento Kings
13. Portland Trail Blazers
14. Golden State Warriors
15. Atlanta (To Phoenix)
16. Philadelphia
17. Toronto
18. Washington
19. Cleveland
20. Denver
21. Dallas (To New Jersey)
22. Orlando
23. Utah
24. Phoenix (To Seattle)
25. Houston
26. San Antonio
27. New Orleans
28. L.A. Lakers (To Memphis)
29. Detroit
30. Boston
