Mario Chalmers, PG, Memphis Grizzlies

DraftKings Salary: $4,700

Mario Chalmers has taken over as the starting point guard for the Memphis Grizzlies with Mike Conley out and has looked pretty competent. He's averaged 26.9 DraftKings points in his past three starts, which is plenty at a price tag that requires just 23.5 of him.

Tyreke Evans has also been one of the largest beneficiaries of Conley's absence, but he is questionable for this game. If Evans is forced to sit, Chalmers and Dillon Brooks ($4,100) would become the primary ball handlers for Memphis, while the halfcourt offense would run completely through Marc Gasol ($8,100). The pace of play in this game is concerning -- it has the lowest over/under on the slate -- but Chalmers does draw a terrific individual matchup against Damian Lillard. Lillard ranked 60th among qualified point guards in defensive real plus-minus last year.

On such a large slate, you don't need to target players in a game with such a low over/under. However, if Evans is out, some Grizzlies players will become intriguing tournament plays in expanded roles.
