Chandler’s strong play continues: With the Knicks missing Amar’e Stoudemire, C Tyson Chandler stepped up on Wednesday, scoring a season-high 25 points on 7 of 12 shooting against the Wizards. Chandler developed a rapport with new starting point guard Jeremy Lin early, who found him at the rim for easy buckets and fouls, the latter of which contributed 11 of his 25 points. He also grabbed 11 rebounds and had a block and a steal as the Knicks defeated Washington 107-93. (Updated 02/08/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Chandler and Lin took advantage of a lost Wizards’ defense, abusing them with simple pick and roll sets. This was Chandler’s eighth double-double of the season, and he is on the verge of averaging a double-double for the season, with 11.4 points and 9.9 rebounds per game. He is also shooting an absurd 69.7 shooting from the field, as he has been everything the Knicks had hoped when they signed him as a free agent this offseason. Chandler remains a top-20 Fantast center in all Formats and should be started in the majority of leagues. (Updated 02/08/2012).

02/03/2012 23:13 Pierce, Celtics add to Knicks' woes
Paul Pierce scored 30 points and Ray Allen had nine of his 14 in the final quarter to lift the Boston Celtics to a 91-89 win over the struggling New York Knicks on Friday night.
Tyson Chandler's first season in Dallas was one of his most productive seasons of his career. Coming off a year during which he averaged just 6.5 points and 6.2 rebounds per game with the Bobcats, he fell just half-a-rebound per game shy of averaging a double-double for the year for a second time in his career. Much like he did in his best days in New Orleans when he was partnered up with Chris Paul, Chandler took advantage of great looks from the likes of Jason Kidd to put in easy finish after easy finish. The result was a career-best 65.4 shooting percentage that Fantasy owners can get plenty of use out of in Rotisserie and category formats. Expect another season of nine-plus boards and over a block per game as long as he can stay healthy, qualifying him as a solid No. 2 center. (Updated 8/28/11)
