A recent hot streak has vaulted Cleveland Cavaliers coach J.B. Bickerstaff up the odds list for NBA Coach of the Year.
Bickerstaff’s Cavaliers have won 18 out of their last 20 games, and Cleveland owns the NBA’s best road record (17-8) with Orlando as of Thursday.
The son of former NBA head coach Bernie Bickerstaff now sits third at +410. He was at +1400 on Feb. 1 and +1000 on Feb. 7.
FOX Sports NBA Analyst Ric Bucher has Bickerstaff’s Cavaliers atop his Power Rankings for the second consecutive week “by continuing to squeeze the life out of opposing offenses.”
