Mario Chalmers

Grizzlies' Mario Chalmers struggles from the field, contributes in other areas in Wednesday's loss

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Mario Chalmers had only 6 points on 2-of-11 shooting on Wednesday, but he also tallied 7 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals in 34.4 minutes of action as the Grizzlies lost to the Dallas Mavericks.

What It Means:

This was Chalmers' fourth consecutive start while Mike Conley (Achilles) has been out, and Rio will continue to play big minutes until Conley returns, which is not expected to be for at least another week.

numberFire's models project Chalmers for 11.6 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 26.4 minutes of action against the Denver Nuggets on Friday.
