Chalmers

Chalmers won’t have fantasy value this year regardless of where he’s playing.

Chalmers has scored two points in four games this season.

The Heat also defended Wade, calling him “the type of player, along with other players on our roster, that defenses take privileges with.” For what it’s worth, we certainly thought the kick looked deliberate and in the end, a one-game ban isn’t that big of a deal. Look for Shane Battier to have a bigger role with Wade out against the Pistons. Mario Chalmers could also see a one-game boost.

We warned you about the Heat resting their big guns, and that’s exactly what will happen once again on Tuesday with LeBron and Wade both sitting out. The Heat will rely on Chris Bosh to carry the load, and the team will start Norris Cole, Mike Miller, Udonis Haslem, Rashard Lewis and Bosh against New York.

He has no fantasy value, but he played well tonight, despite hitting just 3-of-12 of his shots.

He could eventually sign a 10-day contract for a team in need of a point guard.

The game briefly stopped when DeShawn Stevenson, Udonis Haslem and Mario Chalmers got into a brief scuffle at mid-court, but apparently the league didn’t see anything to warrant any suspensions.

He never saw any action in the preseason due to a sprained ankle.

Atlanta also signed Cedric Bozeman, Andre Brown, Kaniel Dickens, Matt Freije and Andreas Glyniadakis. Chalmers averaged 3.1 PPG in 36 games for the Clippers a couple years ago.
