Latest next Knicks coach odds reveal new favorite as interviews begin

DraftKings has landed on the former Sacramento Kings’ Coach of the Year as the next Knicks’ coach.

Mike Brown is favored to be the franchise’s next leader, coming in at +125 odds.

The odds imply a 44.44 percent chance that the Knicks hire Brown, who was dismissed by Sacramento during the regular season.

Though the Mavericks denied the Knicks permission to speak with their head coach, Jason Kidd, the door isn’t completely closed on the Hall of Famer returning to the Garden after finishing his playing career there, The Post’s Stefan Bondy reported.

Despite that intel, DraftKings does not have odds for Kidd.

Kidd, who could use the Knicks’ interest to get a contract extension from the Mavs, was previously listed as a -180 favorite by DraftKings, but his absence from the list is a bit puzzling considering it’s been widely reported that the deal for him is not dead.

The second-favorite for the Knicks’ job is Taylor Jenkins, whom the Memphis Grizzlies shockingly fired shortly before the playoffs before being swept in the first round by the top-seeded Thunder.

Jenkins has +175 odds to land the gig (36.36 percent implied).

Meanwhile, former Knicks assistant coach Johnnie Bryant has +400 odds and is the third-favorite to get the nod.

Ex-Nuggets coach Mike Malone sits at +500 odds.

The odds get much longer from there, as nearly no other rumors have been circulating about other candidates.
