Center Tyson Chandler is expected to miss a minimum of two games after spraining his ankle at the end of the first quarter in Tuesday’s 101-93 win in Philadelphia.
Chandler has averaged 10.4 points and 9.4 rebounds in 57 games this season, all starts. But he’s taken his production up a notch with six double-doubles during the month of February and All-Star consideration.
With the 7-1 Chandler sidelined, the Mavs depth will be a huge asset. This is Brendan Haywood’s chance to prove his value. For the season, he has averaged 4.3 points and 4.7 rebounds per game, but like Chandler, his numbers were up in February. Last month, Haywood got 5.9 points and 5 boards per game. Ian Mahimni can provide the toughness needed by some game situations.
