He'll come off the bench for the first time this season, but he should still be available for his usual minutes as a reserve.

Richardson made multiple threes for the third game in a row and did a good job filling the stat sheet Friday, as he recorded at least three tallies in four of the five biggest categories.

He's only averaging 10.7 points per game while shooting 39.1 percent from the field and 30.4 percent from three-point range since the beginning of April.
