A healthy Wilson Chandler definitely hasn’t hurt the Nuggets chances. The former DePaul Blue Demon missed the first six games of the season when the Nuggets went 2-4.  Since Chandler’s return to the lineup, the Nuggets have posted a 8-2 record. Pretty good, right? What does Chandler bring to the table that has helped make the difference? Three-point shooting. The 6’8” small forward has made 1.6 shots per game from downtown. That has helped spread the floor for the Nuggets. Prior to his return, Denver was only scoring 98.6 points per game. Since his return, Denver has put up 108.7 points per contest.
