NBA Hot Seats: Sixers' Doc Rivers favored to be first coach fired

Philadelphia embarks on a four-game road trip beginning with games at Toronto on Wednesday and Friday before traveling to Chicago and Washington.

The Nets are 1-2, with losses to New Orleans and Memphis sandwiching a victory at home against Toronto. Nash's predicament is further complicated by a tumultuous offseason in which superstar Kevin Durant first requested a trade and then relented.

However, the team continually finds itself embroiled in drama involving stars Durant, Kyrie Irving and Ben Simmons.

Third on the list is Detroit's Dwane Casey (10-1), who isn't blessed with nearly the depth of talent Rivers and Nash have at their disposal.

Lakers first-year coach Darvin Ham is already feeling the heat of Hollywood's bright lights. His team remains winless at 0-3 with upcoming road games at Denver and Minnesota.
