2026-2027 NBA Futures: Coach of the Year November Odds Update

It may only be November and 10-12 games into this young NBA season, but when it comes to betting on futures, it’s never too early. In fact, it’s usually best to get your futures tickets in early. But it’s also never too late. That’s why we’re taking another look at the early season betting odds for all the top NBA awards.

Here, we take a look at the race for Coach of the Year, which is usually one of the toughest to call in the early stages. That’s why the preseason favourite for this one, Toronto’s Darko Rajakovic, was only at +800 during the summer. But with a few weeks in the bag, these odds have predictably shifted all over the board.

But don’t worry. If you still want to get a futures bet down on the NBA Coach of the Year for 2026-2027, we’ve got you covered with not only the latest NBA betting odds in this awards race, but also a look at how they’ve shifted after the first few weeks of the campaign!

Odds Movement

There may not be a major NBA award that has seen odds movement like we’ve seen in the Coach of the Year race. Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic was the favourite before the season, and while he’s still in the mix at +1,200, Kawhi Leonard’s inability to suit up is really going to hurt Toronto’s–and therefore Rajakovic’s–chances in the long run.

The two biggest surprises so far in this young season are the Memphis Grizzlies and Portland Trail Blazers, who are led by Tuomas Iisalo and Micah Nori, respectively. Both are sitting at 6-3 as of this writing, though we’re not sure either has the staying power to see either of these rookie coaches win the big award in their first year in charge.

Houston’s Ime Udoka, Philly’s Nick Nurse, and L.A.’s J.J. Redick are more experienced coaches who are leading teams that should remain near the top of the standings once we get into the spring months.
