Mario Chalmers

Grizzlies' Mario Chalmers players 30 minutes in spot start on Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Mario Chalmers finished with 8 points, 6 assists and 4 rebounds in 30.1 minutes of action as the Grizzlies fell to the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday.

What It Means:

Chalmers was making a spot start with Mike Conley (ankle) sidelined, and those 30 minutes were a season-high. Rio is averaging 8.0 points, 3.5 assist, 2.7 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 23.4 minutes per game this season.

Accounting for Conley returning, numberFire's models project Chalmers for 10.6 points, 3.7 boards and 2.1 assists in 26.0 minutes of action at home against the Houston Rockets on Saturday.
