Suns' Tyson Chandler: Turns in second double-double of season in Sunday's loss

Chandler scored 10 points (5-6 FG) while adding 15 rebounds and two blocks in 38 minutes during the Suns' 120-114 loss to the Nuggets on Sunday.

Analysis:

After returning from an eight-game absence due to personal reasons and playing 11 minutes off the bench in Friday's loss to the Timberwolves, Chandler was moved into the starting lineup on Sunday in place of Alex Len. However, Len also played 29 minutes, as coach Earl Watson opted to pair the two big men together in an effort to match up with Denver's size down low. This was just the second time through 10 games that Chandler has double-doubled or scored 10 points or more, but the veteran center is grabbing 12.0 rebounds per game. With that being said, he is not producing much else besides boards, with meager averages of 7.3 points, 0.5 blocks, 0.4 assists, and 0.4 steals in 27.1 minutes per night.
