Fresh off an Eastern Conference finals berth, the New York Knicks are in search of a new head coach.
The Knicks fired head coach Tom Thibodeau on Tuesday after five seasons.
And with that, the hiring process begins in the Big Apple.
Let’s check out the odds for who will land the job at DraftKings Sportsbook as of June 5.
Knicks next head coach to start 25-26 regular season
Johnnie Bryant: -140 (bet $10 to win $17.14 total) Michael Malone: +275 (bet $10 to win $37.50 total) Jay Wright: +800 (bet $10 to win $90 total) Jason Kidd: +1300 (bet $10 to win $140 total) Dan Hurley: +1400 (bet $10 to win $150 total) Jeff Van Gundy: +1500 (bet $10 to win $160 total) Steve Nash: +1500 (bet $10 to win $160 total) Taylor Jenkins: +2500 (bet $10 to win $260 total) John Calipari: +2500 (bet $10 to win $260 total)
Under Thibodeau, the Knicks made four playoff appearances in five seasons, including that trip to the East finals this season, where they lost in six games to the Indiana Pacers.
The Knicks had not made it to the Eastern Conference finals since the 1999-2000 season, where they also lost to the Pacers in six games.
Thibodeau had an overall regular-season record of 226-174 as head coach of New York. He was 24-23 in the postseason.
When the odds opened, at the top of the oddsboard to replace Thibodeau was Michael Malone, who most recently coached the Denver Nuggets but was fired on April 8, with three games left in the 2024-25 regular season.
However, he’s since been overtaken by Cleveland associate head coach Johnnie Bryant, who was reported to be one of two finalists to land the head coaching job in Phoenix.
That job instead went to Cavs assistant coach Jordan Ott, and with that, Bryant moved from +400 to -140.
Bryant served as associate head coach for the Knicks from 2020-2024.
