Wilson Chandler-Denver Nuggets (5,600): Chandler played 37 minutes last night against the Warriors and had 21-4-2 on his way to 31.8 fantasy points. He has at least 30 fantasy points in four of his last seven games and remains a volatile play with lots of upside for the Nuggets. Chandler has been used in a variety of ways this year in Denver, but he has been a fantasy factor in almost all of them.∗∗
Jae Crowder-Boston Celtics (5,000): Crowder doesn’t have the upside that Chandler brings on a nightly basis, but he is a very consistent contributor for Boston with 20-30 fantasy points almost every night. He had 21.4 fantasy points on Friday with 9-2-6 and a steal, and he could play even more minutes tonight with Marcus Smart unlikely to play. Crowder will likely have the tough job of slowing down Gordon Hayward, but he should be able to get some fantasy points of his own in his extended run.∗∗∗
Matt Barnes-Sacramento Kings (3,800): Barnes has been playing more minutes for the Kings while Rudy Gay has been out and has turned in at least 20 fantasy points in three of his last four games. He had 20-8-3 against his former team from Memphis on Saturday for 33.1 fantasy points showing he still has upside in the right matchup. Tonight, he faces the Nuggets in a favorable matchup, but the Kings may be ready to roll with younger players meaning he may not consistently get the 25+ minutes he has played in six of his last eight.∗∗
