Jason Richardson had another nice game on Saturday, dropping 17 points, three 3-pointers, six rebounds, five assists and one block in a win over the Pacers. J-Rich hasn't been very good this season, but it seems resting his knee for a few days has worked wonders. Pick him up if he's on the waiver wire, but don't expect him to keep up this surge for very long.

Jason Richardson (knee) returned to action and started at shooting guard on Friday after a two-game layoff, scoring 19 points on 7-of-12 shooting (including three treys) with four rebounds, a steal, and a block in 28 minutes. We'll be watching to see if he had just enough juice to be explosive for one game, but he looked night-and-day different after lugging around his knee for the past few weeks. If he was dropped in your league he has enough upside to be considered a must-add player, while J.J. Redick (23 minutes) shrunk in Richardson's return game with an absolute bagel in the box score.

Jason Richardson (knee) did not practice Thursday and is questionable for Friday's game against the Cavs. Richardson has sat out two straight games to rest his sore knee. In 17 starts this year, he's averaging 9.9 points in 28.3 minutes. J.J. Redick has started six games and averaged 14.2 points in 31.9 minutes. We'll know more about Richardson's status after Friday's shootaround.

Updating a previous item, Jason Richardson (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Wizards. The J.J. Redick show continues for his owners, and it's been a fun one to watch since he's been starting this season. redick has averaged 12.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.0 treys in five starts this season and will earn another one on Wednesday with Richardson still out of the lineup.

Jason Richardson (knee) is expected to return to action on Wednesday against the Wizards. Richardson missed Monday's game due to weakness in his knee, but he's apparently feeling better and Stan Van Gundy expects him to play. Richardson is having a disappointing season, averaging just 9.9 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.1 treys on 41.4 percent shooting.

Jason Richardson (knee) will not play against the Sixers on Monday. Richardson hasn't had a setback, but he admitted his knee is weak. The Magic are on a back-to-back, so they'll use this as an opportunity to rest J-Rich. Look for J.J. Redick to get the nod as a high-quality spot-start in fantasy. In four starts earlier this year, Redick averaged 13.5 points and made 1.8 3-pointers per game.

Any Magic basketball player not named Dwight Howard struggled on Friday in their blowout loss to a losing Hornets squad. There's no rhyme or reason to picking Jason Richardson to file this blurb, though he may be dealing with a knee injury that is bringing him down. Howard yelled at his team after the game, saying they're not trying hard, but it's likely his trade situation that is the culprit. Richardson (two points, five boards), Jameer Nelson (11 minutes, injury), Hedo Turkoglu (three points, one assist, six turnovers), Glen Davis (four points, two boards), and J.J. Redick (nine points, three treys) need a Howard trade badly.

Jason Richardson scored 13 points on 5-of-12 shooting (including a three) with no rebounds, no assists, and three steals in 31 minutes on Thursday against the Celtics. Richardson could barely elevate to dunk in the open court early in the game, and when he landed on the play he was noticeably in pain. Chances are his knee is still not 100 percent and we wouldn't be surprised to learn that he aggravated it tonight, though there hasn't been a single mention of it anywhere so far. Richardson is still worth owning in 12-team leagues, but his leash is getting shorter every day.

Jason Richardson hit just 1-of-6 shots for two points, two rebounds and two assists in Tuesday's win. J.J. Redick came off the bench for 15 points, a 3-pointer, steal and block, and you have to wonder if Stan Van Gundy is considering a lineup change. JRich had five points in his previous game, but it may take him a few more games to get back in the flow after missing three games with a knee injury. Bench him until he gets it going, and keep an eye on the position battle between him and Redick.

Jason Richardson (knee) returned to action on Friday against the Lakers, scoring 12 points on 5-of-11 shooting (including two threes) with four rebounds and one assist in 30 minutes. Richardson started with J.J. Redick in a three-guard lineup tonight due to Hedo Turkoglu's absence, and while we've heard nothing to the effect of Richardson being ushered to the bench, there is an ever-so-slight chance he could be moved to the bench. For now, owners should be cognizant of the risk but not panicking over it.
