Analysis:

Chalmers has been dealing with a sore ankle the past few days and will miss his first game with the injury Thursday. It is unclear how long he will be out but it is unlikely this injury will keep him out for an extended period of time. Look for Tyler Johnson and Justise Winslow to pick up a good deal of minutes in place of Chalmers.
