NBA Team Wheel
A free spinning wheel with all 30 NBA teams already on it. Open it, press Spin, and the wheel lands on one team. Use it to choose a team to follow, to settle a fantasy draft order or to hand out teams for a game night with friends.
How to use the NBA team wheel
- Open the wheel with the button above. The 30 teams appear in the list on the left and on the wheel.
- Press 1× Spin. The pointer stops on one team and a window shows the result.
- Confirm or spin again. With "Remove winner from list after winning" on, a team that has been picked leaves the wheel, which is what you want when every person needs a different team.
Every slice is the same size and the result comes from your browser's secure random generator, so each team has a 1 in 30 chance on the first spin. Our page on how GoPickaro picks results explains the method.
Give every friend a random team in one spin
This is where the double spin wheel helps. Keep the teams on the outer ring and type your friends' names in the prizes box on the right. Each spin now pairs one team with one person: "Boston Celtics, Maria". Press 5× Spins or 10× Spins and the pairs are drawn one after another, then print the list.
With six friends and 30 teams, you can run the draw five times so everyone ends up with five teams, which works well for a season-long bragging contest or a playoffs party where each guest roots for their teams.
Spin by conference or division
To spin only part of the league, delete the teams you do not want from the list on the left. The table below groups all 30 teams by division, so you can keep the Eastern or Western Conference or a single division in a few seconds.
| Division | Teams |
|---|---|
| Eastern: Atlantic | Boston Celtics, Brooklyn Nets, New York Knicks, Philadelphia 76ers, Toronto Raptors |
| Eastern: Central | Chicago Bulls, Cleveland Cavaliers, Detroit Pistons, Indiana Pacers, Milwaukee Bucks |
| Eastern: Southeast | Atlanta Hawks, Charlotte Hornets, Miami Heat, Orlando Magic, Washington Wizards |
| Western: Northwest | Denver Nuggets, Minnesota Timberwolves, Oklahoma City Thunder, Portland Trail Blazers, Utah Jazz |
| Western: Pacific | Golden State Warriors, LA Clippers, Los Angeles Lakers, Phoenix Suns, Sacramento Kings |
| Western: Southwest | Dallas Mavericks, Houston Rockets, Memphis Grizzlies, New Orleans Pelicans, San Antonio Spurs |
Ideas for game nights and fantasy leagues
- Fantasy basketball draft order: put the league members on the wheel instead of the teams and spin once per draft slot. If you prefer one click, the Instant Draw lists the whole order at once.
- Pick a team to follow: new to the league? Spin once and follow that team for the season.
- Watch parties: each guest spins a team before tip-off, and whoever's team scores the next three-pointer picks the snacks.
- Pickup games: to split players into two sides, the random team generator is faster than a wheel.
