Writing Opportunities at The Lottery Mafia

Are you interested in writing about the NBA’s lottery teams and the draft? We are looking for writers!

Are you interested in bringing a media spotlight to those teams outside of the playoffs? If you’re bored of hearing the same old stories about the big market playoff teams, then The Lottery Mafia is the place for you! The Lottery Mafia focuses on the rebuilding franchises of the NBA and is the only website that exclusively covers the NBA’s lottery-bound teams. Sam Hinkie is to us what LeBron James is to ESPN (a flawed analogy, but you get the picture). Due to the importance of the NBA draft to lottery teams, we also have a team of writers dedicated to covering the draft process.

We are looking for exciting young writers who want to expand their portfolio of work. Previous members of our staff have used their experience to go on and work for Bleacher Report, the Charlotte Hornets and RotoWire. If you aren’t already convinced, below are a number of benefits writing for our site provides.
