I think that is it. When the playoffs first start, they want to keep the news cycle focused on that when it's all new and exciting. Then once there is a little bit of dead space, they throw in the draft lottery to make a bit of a news item. They do the same thing when announcing award finalists. They stretch the news out a little bit for news cycle purposes, but they could just do it all at once if they wanted.
