Mario Chalmers

Mario Chalmers starting at point for Grizzlies

Memphis Grizzlies guard Mario Chalmers will start at point guard against the Denver Nuggets on Friday.

What It Means:

Chalmers racked up 23 points, eight rebounds and nine assists in 39 minutes on Wednesday, and he's a very appealing daily option tonight. Mike Conley (Achilles) and Courtney Lee (hip) are both out of commission tonight, so Chalmers should get all the minutes he can handle despite the recent signing of Elliot Williams to the back court.

Our models project Chalmers to have 14.9 points, 4.3 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 1.4 three-pointers against the Nuggets tonight. His nERD sits at 2.0, ranked 61st in the league.
