Daily Fantasy Basketball Game Scripts to Target on 1/3/17
Wilson Chandler, SF, Denver Nuggets
FanDuel Price: $5,600
Wilson Chandler has been providing solid production for the Denver Nuggets all season, especially as of late. Over his past three games, Chandler has averaged 28.8 FanDuel points and has played at least 36 minutes each game.
Tonight, Chandler and the Nuggets are projected for a slate-leading 108.5 points against the Sacramento Kings. This game also has the highest over/under on the slate (215.5 points) by a fairly wide margin, meaning there should be plenty of fantasy goodness to be found in this potential shootout.
As you can see laid out in the chart below, no Denver player has benefited more from playing in spots similar to this as much as Chandler has over the past two seasons. The "In Split" displayed on the chart is games the Nuggets played with over a 108.5-point implied team total while "Out of Split" displays all other games.
| Player | In Split | Out of Split |
|---|---|---|
| Emmanuel Mudiay | 24.7 | 24.4 |
| Will Barton | 24.9 | 26.4 |
| Danilo Gallinari | 28.8 | 29.5 |
| Wilson Chandler | 37.5 | 25.5 |
| Nikola Jokic | 23 | 23.9 |
Chandler's FanDuel average jumps all the way to 37.5 in games over the past two years that Denver has had a high implied team total like they do tonight. To be fair, he's played just 21 games over that span. However, expanding the sample size to 2014 through 2016 (99 total games), shows Chandler still has been much better in these scenarios, averaging 30.1 FanDuel points, as opposed to 23.5 in all other games.
