Wed Apr 16 2014 | 18:26 | Mario Chalmers won't play on Wednesday |
Mario Chalmers (rest) will not play on Wednesday against the Sixers. |
He's just getting some rest and had a great season in his sixth year. Chalmers had a career-high 45.4 percent from the field while adding some nice steals and triples for his fantasy owners. Expect Norris Cole and Toney Douglas to play point guard vs. a soft Philly D. |

Tue Apr 1 2014 | 00:28 | Mario Chalmers (quad) plays 37 minutes |
Mario Chalmers returned from a quad injury on Monday vs. the Raptors, playing 37 minutes for 12 points, three boards, four assists and three 3-pointers. |
After missing two games, Chalmers' playing time launched beyond his season average of 29.5 minutes per game in tonight's win. Chalmers isn't exactly the type of player to carry a fantasy team with his 9.4 points per game, but he's held ninth-round value on the season and could finish strong with Dwyane Wade (hamstring) likely to see plenty of rest. |

Mario Chalmers will start vs. the Raptors on Monday. |
Chalmers should be busy with Toney Douglas sliding over to over to shooting guard. He's not the type of guy to put up big lines, but not having Dwyane Wade (hamstring) makes Chalmers a very viable option in standard leagues tonight. Norris Cole takes a hit. |

Mon Mar 31 2014 | 18:01 | Mario Chalmers expected to return on Monday |
Mario Chalmers (quad) is expected to return for Monday's game vs. the Raptors. |
He's missed two games with his quad bruise and should be busy tonight with Dwyane Wade (hamstring) and Ray Allen (illness) out. Chalmers logged 40 minutes on Wednesday night and has a good chance to crack double-digit points with some dimes, steals and triples. |

Mon Mar 31 2014 | 11:08 | Mario Chalmers (quad) game-time vs. Raptors |
Mario Chalmers (bruised quad) went through Monday's shootaround but he's a game-time decision vs. the Raptors. |
Toney Douglas has been playing heavy minutes in Chalmers' absence, averaging 11.0 points, 0.5 threes, 7.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.0 steals in the past two games. With Ray Allen (illness) doubtful to play on Monday there should be solid minutes for Douglas regardless of Chalmers' status. |

Sat Mar 29 2014 | 19:14 | Mario Chalmers out again on Saturday night |
Mario Chalmers will not play against the Bucks on Saturday due to his quad injury. |
His injury popped up on Friday and the team will hold him out again. Toney Douglas will likely start again and could have a decent game after logging 30 minutes on Friday. Norris Cole will anchor the second-unit scoring. |

Mario Chalmers (quad) will not play against the Pistons on Friday. |
He suffered a minor injury on Wednesday vs. the Pacers and it may have caused some soreness. Chalmers has been healthy for two months and this injury doesn't sound serious. Toney Douglas and Norris Cole will get some extra run tonight. |

Thu Mar 27 2014 | 00:21 | Mario Chalmers quiet in loss to Pacers |
Mario Chalmers hit just 2-of-10 shots for five points, five rebounds, two assists and a steal in Wednesday's loss to the Pacers. |
He suffered some sort of hip injury that hobbled him for a short time, but he was able to play through it. He also dinged up his knee on Monday, and if Erik Spoelstra is paying attention, he could decide that it's time for Rio to get a night off. Just a hunch. |

Mon Mar 24 2014 | 23:35 | Chalmers survives knee scare on Monday |
Mario Chalmers survived a scare when he briefly left Monday's game due to a knee injury, but returned to finish with 11 points on 5-of-9 shooting (including a three) with six rebounds, three assists and three steals in 31 minutes. |
That's as good as it gets when a guy goes down clutching his knee and we'll let you know if anything else comes of it, but for now owners can keep him in most lineups. |

Mario Chalmers suffered a tweaked right knee and he is expected to return. |
It was a scary injury as he grabbed his knee, but he sounds like he's fine. Chalmers has been an under-the-radar player to own in standard formats. |

Sat Mar 22 2014 | 23:04 | Mario Chalmers scores 19 points vs. NO |
Mario Chalmers scored 19 points vs. the Pelicans on Saturday with two boards, seven assists, one steal, one block and three 3-pointers in 36 minutes. |
He's been a bit up and down, but he finally had a great game tonight. His 19 points tonight were a season high and his 12 shots attempts matched his highest total all year. Chalmers hasn't really busted out with Wade out up until now, but he's still holding solid value in standard leagues. |

Sat Mar 22 2014 | 01:31 | Chalmers scores 14 points in win over MEM |
Mario Chalmers scored 14 points on 4-of-7 shooting (including three treys) with two rebounds, three assists and two steals in Friday's win over the Grizzlies. |
Chalmers is starting to heat up and as a guy with a favorable schedule that profiles to get less rest than some of his teammates, he should be owned in all standard formats. |

Sat Mar 15 2014 | 02:21 | Chalmers scores 16 points with six assists |
Mario Chalmers scored 16 points on 7-of-11 shooting (including two threes) with four rebounds, six assists and two steals in the Heat's 111-107 home loss to the Nuggets on Friday. |
Chalmers has been struggling with his shot lately and tonight's solid showing in that department only pushed him up to 34.5 percent in his last eight games. He's still a late-round value over that span and should be owned in most formats, especially considering the Heat's favorable playoff schedule. |

Sun Feb 23 2014 | 18:37 | Mario Chalmers plays very will sans LeBron |
Mario Chalmers logged 40 minutes against the Bulls on Sunday with 12 points, one board, nine assists, two steals, one block and one 3-pointer. |
It wasn't just the Dwyane Wade Show on Sunday as the Heat ran plenty of isolation and pick-and-roll plays for Chalmers. He usually has better games when Wade sits out and he was able to do just that without LeBron James (nose) in the lineup. He's holding seventh-round value this season and is worth owning in standard leagues. |

Mon Jan 20 2014 | 22:24 | Super Nintendo Chalmers: Mario scores 17 |
Mario Chalmers had his best game since returning from an Achilles injury during a loss to the Hawks on Monday, scoring 17 points with five boards, four assists, two steals and two 3-pointers. |
He made 6-of-12 from the field and matched his season high in scoring tonight. Chalmers is a bit of an under-the-radar No. 2 fantasy point guard thanks to season averages of 1.9 steals, 5.1 assists and 1.2 triples. He should be owned in all standard leagues. |

Fri Jan 17 2014 | 22:00 | Mario Chalmers scores 10 in return |
Mario Chalmers (Achilles) played 28 minutes against the Sixers in his return on Friday with 10 points, three boards, five assists, two steals and two 3-pointers. |
Outside of shooting just 3-of-9 from the field, it was a solid game for Chalmers. He was right at his season averages of 28.4 minutes, 9.3 points, 1.9 steals and 5.1 assists per game in the win. The Heat went 1-3 without him, but of course correlation doesn't mean causation. He is a sneaky low-end player to own in all standard leagues. |

Fri Jan 17 2014 | 18:27 | Mario Chalmers will start vs. the 76ers |
Mario Chalmers (Achilles) will start against the Sixers on Friday night. |
He said he was going to play earlier today and the Heat confirmed it with inserting him into the starting lineup. His minutes may be down a little bit in his first game since Jan. 5. Fantasy owners might just want to pick him up and bench him until he proves he's healthy. |

Fri Jan 17 2014 | 14:58 | Mario Chalmers says he's playing tonight |
Mario Chalmers (Achilles) said he's playing against the Sixers tonight. |
He went through shootaround and is technically a game-time decision. Chalmers has missed four games due to his strained Achilles and the Heat might take it easy on him. Interestingly, they went 1-3 in that span despite Norris Cole playing well on offense. Chalmers should be picked back up in most leagues. |

Thu Jan 16 2014 | 16:35 | Mario Chalmers (Achilles) practices Thursday |
Mario Chalmers (strained Achilles) practiced on Thursday and will be re-evaluated prior to Friday's game. |
Miami plays back-to-back games on Friday and Saturday. Chalmers has missed four straight games but he looked good at practice and may be healthy enough to suit up for both, which would send Norris Cole back to the bench. With any luck his status will be announced after shootaround. |

Wed Jan 15 2014 | 11:56 | Mario Chalmers out again w/ sore Achilles |
Mario Chalmers will miss his fourth consecutive game on Wednesday due to a sore right Achilles. |
He remains day-to-day and while Miami's caution is understandable, it's also frustrating for owners who had been relying on Chalmers' 9.3 points, 1.3 triples, 5.1 assists and 1.9 steals per game. Consider him questionable for Friday's road game in Philly. |
