Daily Fantasy Basketball Game Scripts to Target on 1/17/17

Wilson Chandler, SF, Denver Nuggets

FanDuel Price: $5,800

Wilson Chandler's role in the rotation has been fluctuating recently, which makes him a risky option. However, with Gary Harris not expected to play, Chandler could be looking at more minutes on the wing against a Lakers team which has allowed the third-most FanDuel points to opposing small forwards.

We just discussed what a great spot Russell and the Lakers are in, but on the other side of the ball, Chandler's Nuggets find themselves in an almost equally juicy spot with a 113.3 point implied team total.

Over the past three seasons, Chandler has averaged 32.5 FanDuel points when playing with at least a 113.3-point implied team total, which is up from his 25.2-point average in all other games. He's played in only one game with a 228-point over/under, but Chandley has averaged 35 FanDuel points in games with at least a 220-point over/under.

If Chandler is again coming off the bench tonight, he is too risky to consider in cash games. However, his historic splits in shootouts such as what is expected tonight make him worth a shot in tournaments.
