With about one quarter of the NBA season left, it’s time to start looking at end season awards with plenty of places where you can cash in.

The 2020 Coach of the Year award has some nice value to it, as oddsmakers aren’t ready to commit to a heavy favorite.

PointsBet has some intriguing odds for this year’s Coach of the Year award, with Nick Nurse (+125) at the very top. Is Nurse worth the bet though?

Nick Nurse Has A Case For Coach of the Year

Nurse is a great bet for the award at this point in the season. The Raptors lost one of the best players in Kawhai Leonard and possibly one of the best spot-up shooters Danny Green. Who replaced these two? Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, Cameron Payne, and Stanley Johnson.

At the 55-game mark this year the Raptors are 40-15. Last year at this mark, they had only won 39 games. Oddsmakers set their win total at 46.5 before the season started and SB Nation had them going 49-33. They are also coming off of a 15-game winning streak.

With the emergence of Paskal Siakam and Fred Van Fleet along with the addition of Marc Gasol, the Raptors should finish the year strong. What Nurse has done with this club given the circumstances is nothing short of spectacular.

Spolestra Coach of the Year Dark Horse

After signing Jimmy Butler, of course Miami is a better team from last year. However, Miami did lose Hasaan Whiteside and legend Dwayne Wade. Erik Spoelstra should get some love at +600.

With Bam Adebayo averaging 16 points and 10 rebounds per game, Heat fans aren’t missing Whiteside terribly. Also, Kendrick Nunn and Tyler Herro provide great young talent.

Coach Of The Year Odds

The Heat are an astounding 22-3 at home this year. You may say he has the pieces to get it done, hurting his chances to win the award. Spoelstra is working with a lot less talent though, and has them competing at a high level every night. If Miami makes a run to close out the season, Spoelstra can very well pass Nurse in the odds and win the award.
