Chalmers didn't start the game, but he still totaled heavy minutes on Sunday. He finished with 12 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three points, two assists, and four steals in 31 minutes.
It wasn't the best game Chalmers could have had, but he was able to make the most of it by posting four steals. He's been regularly getting around 30 minutes, while he's been offering a nice combination of threes, steals and assists to make him worth owning. While he may not be an elite point guard, he remains a solid player for fantasy purposes.

Chalmers will make the start at point guard Wednesday.
Norris Cole is out with an illness, allowing Chalmers to step back into the starting lineup, making him a strong play in daily leagues. Shabazz Napier will handle the backup duties.
Wed Nov 26 201412:31Chalmers left Wednesday's practice early due to illness
Chalmers left Wednesday's practice early due to an illness, the South Florida Sun Sentinel's Ira Winderman reports.
The Heat are off until Sunday when they travel to New York to play the Knicks, so it would seem likely that Chalmers will be healthy enough to take the court by then.

Chalmers scored 22 points (5-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 11-13 FT) to go along with three rebounds, five assists and two steals in 34 minutes Monday against the Nets.
Don't look now, but Chalmers is averaging 21.0 points over his last three games. He has seen increased playing time of late with Dwayne Wade (hamstring) out of action, but Chalmers has put together some nice games even when Wade is healthy. He's not an elite fantasy option by any means, but he can be serviceable.

Chalmers will start in place of Dwyane Wade (hamstring) on Sunday against the Bucks.
This will be Chalmers' first start of the season as he's normally been the first man off the bench for Miami. Wade sat out Friday's came against the Hawks but James Ennis made the start. Coach Erik Spoelstra decided to make a change Sunday however, and Chalmers will likely be in line for a bump in playing time.

Chalmers came off the bench and scored 23 points (7-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 8-8 FT) and passed for 11 assists in 40 minutes against the Hawks Friday.
James Ennis started for the injured Dwayne Wade (hamstring), but it was Chalmers who saw all the extra court time. Ennis played only six minutes, while Chalmers had probably his best game of the season. Even though Chalmers is coming off the bench behind Norris Cole this season, both point guards are averaging similar workloads, and both are reasonable fantasy options in most formats. Because neither guard is a consistently strong scorer, both are under-owned considering their abilities to contribute across multiple categories.

Chalmers came off the bench again adding 12 points, 3 assists and 5 rebounds.
Chalmers also had 5 turnovers, but this is the second game where he has come off the bench and has been more effective than starting point guard, Norris Cole. This is also a game where Chalmers has received more minutes than Cole. Chalmers is still productive, and this performance makes it seem like his role off the bench does not affect his mentality at all.

Chalmers provided 20 points (6-9 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 6-10 FT) with two rebounds, four assists, and four steals in 25 minutes off the Heat bench in the win over the 76ers on Saturday.
Chalmers is backing up Norris Cole, but the former Jayhawk was more effective against Philadelphia. He has played 25 minutes in both games, but it appears his production will be inconsistent, depending on the opponent.

Chalmers went 3-of-7 from the field for 8 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists in their victory over the Wizards on Wednesday.
Chalmers lost the starting job to teammate Norris Cole, but his offensive production remains relatively efficient. Miami's guard play will allow their point guards to generate offensive stats, but if Chalmers' minutes remain around 25, expect these numbers to become the norm for him.

Chalmers returned to action over the weekend after battling a hip injury last week.

He also played in Saturday's win over San Antonio, contributing 11 points (4-6 FG, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and three steals.

Chalmers left Saturday's preseason game against the Cavaliers with a hip pointer injury and will not return, Turner Sports reports.
Prior to exiting, Chalmers recorded three points on 1-of-2 shooting, with one rebound, one assist and two steals in 11 minutes. The team may just being taking precaution by holding him out for the remainder of the game, but Chalmers should be considered questionable to play Tuesday until the team elaborates.
