For Wilson Chandler, it was a tough month-and-a-half start to the year. Before sitting out four of six games with a back issue, he was a far cry from the player he was a year ago. After averaging 15.7 points (on 46.1% shooting) and 6.5 rebounds per game in 2016-17, Chandler averaged fewer than 9.5 points and 4.5 rebounds in the months of October and November. Through five games in December, though, he seems to be returning to last year's form.

The Nuggets worked Chandler back in slowly with an average of 25.7 minutes a game in his first three, but he played more than 37 minutes on Sunday and his 27 minutes on Tuesday were only limited because of the team's 19-point win on the front end of a back-to-back. In those two games, Chandler averaged 28.2 FanDuel points and scored 18 points apiece with a total of 12 rebounds, 2 assists, a steal and a block.

Surprisingly, Chandler's price tag has fallen from where it was just 24 hours ago. His tough matchup with the Boston Celtics might be the reason, but even so, he should be rested enough to continue his productive ways on Wednesday.
