Beast of the Night: Wilson Chandler put up 27 points, 7 boards, 6 assists and 1 turnover in the league’s only game last night. He chipped in a three-pointer and shot 52 percent (11-21) from the field and 100 percent (4-4) from the line. He’s in a groove and should be nice to own for the rest of the season.

Notable lines:
Stephen Jackson – 10-26 FG (39%), 4-6 FT (67%), 2 3ptm, 26 Pts, 7 Reb, 3 Ast, 3 Stl, 1 Blk, 2 TO

Boris Diaw – 5-12 FG (42%), 2 3ptm, 12 Pts, 6 Reb, 6 Ast, 1 Stl, 1 TO

Gerald Wallace – 6-12 FG (50%), 1 3ptm, 13 Pts, 9 Reb, 1 Ast, 2 Stl

Danilo Gallinari – 6-14 FG (43%), 5 3ptm, 17 Pts, 6 Reb, 3 Ast, 1 Stl, 1 Blk, 2 TO
