Who Gets Fired Next?

While the hometown Boston Celtics are currently near the top of DraftKings Sportsbook Massachusetts’ NBA title odds board right now, at +225 (behind the Oklahoma City Thunder at +175), it’s worth wondering which NBA coach will be the next out the door in the 30-team league.  

Right now, we have Willie Green of the Pelicans as our top candidate to get axed next, at +315, narrowly beating out Suns head coach Mike Budenholzer and Chauncey Billups of the Portland Trail Blazers.   

Throw in the Jazz' Will Hardy and NBA champion Nick Nurse of the Philadelphia 76ers and you have the upper end of our NBA coaching firing board covered right now.

Green entered the league’s head coaching ranks with lofty expectations, as the former was a top assistant under Monty Williams with the Phoenix Suns team that came to a win away from an NBA title.

For now, though, the leading candidate to get booted out of the NBA next is the fourth-year Pelicans head coach, with Green sitting on a raging inferno of a hot seat as the NBA season reaches its denouement across the 30-team league's hardwood courts.
