Richardson posted one point (0-9 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four assists, three rebounds and one steal in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 102-93 loss to the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
After going 6-for-9 from the field and 5-of-5 from deep just two days prior, Richardson crashed about as hard as possible Wednesday. Richardson takes just under half of his shots from three-point land, so when he struggles from deep, it will often result in bad scoring performances. In 10 games this season where he's failed to make a three, he's averaged just 5.9 points. He also isn't providing enough else in those contests -- 3.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists -- to grind out a passable fantasy performance.

Richardson closed with 17 points (6-9 FG, 5-5 3Pt), five rebounds and two assists in 30 minutes during Monday's 111-103 victory over Utah.
EDGE Analysis
Richardson returned to the lineup after sitting out the previous game against the Wizards. It appears as though it was simply a minor concern he was dealing with, and the opposition may have also been a contributing factor. Despite having a solid role for his new team, Richardson has continued to underwhelm this season and should be viewed as more of a streamer than a must-roster commodity.

Richardson (calf) is available for Monday's game versus Utah.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old was upgraded from questionable to probable earlier in the day, so it's not a surprise he'll be suiting up Monday. Richardson should rejoin the starting five after being a late scratch for Saturday's game due to calf tightness.

Richardson (calf) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
Richardson's status is moving in the right direction after he missed Saturday's win over the Wizards with a sore left calf. The Mavs will likely wait until he can test out the calf during pregame warmups, but all signs point to the guard returning to action Monday night.

Richardson (calf) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Utah.
EDGE Analysis
Richardson had to miss Saturday's game against Washington with a left calf injury, which still has him uncertain for Monday's game. Before Saturday's game, Richardson hadn't missed a game since late January.

Richardson is a late scratch for Saturday's game against the Wizards due to left calf tightness.
EDGE Analysis
The flurry of back-to-backs and lack of rest in the second half of the NBA schedule seems to be taking its toll on players, as Richardson is the latest of a string of absences close to tipoff without prior warning. Kristaps Porzingis (knee) and Maxi Kleber (leg) are also out for Dallas. Players who could see extra minutes include Josh Green, Nicolo Melli, Dwight Powell and Tyler Bey.

Richardson had eight points (3-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt), six rebounds, four assists and one block in Wednesday's win over the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
The versatile guard continues to play heavy minutes (39 on Wednesday) for the Mavs, but he's scored fewer than 10 points in three straight games, while shooting a combined 8-of-27 from the floor. In years past, Richardson has been able to offset his so-so shooting numbers with strong assists and defensive contributions, but through 36 games he's averaging only 2.8 assists (lowest since 2016-17) to go with 0.9 steals and 0.4 blocks.

Richardson scored 21 points (8-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and added four rebounds along with three assists across 30 minutes in a 132-92 win over the Trail Blazers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Richardson needed only 11 shots to post 21 points -- second-highest on the team -- in the blowout victory. He is averaging 13.3 points, 3.3 boards and 2.7 dimes across 32 games this season.

Richardson recorded 20 points (6-11 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two steals Saturday in a 116-103 win at Denver.
EDGE Analysis
Richardson benefited from Thursday's absences of Luka Doncic (ankle) and Kristaps Porzingis (knee) by logging his scoring high for the Mavericks. Though they returned Saturday, he still marked his fourth Mavs game with at least 20 points. Richardson had not recorded consecutive 20-point games since January last year. He has been unable to break past serving as their fourth scoring option, behind the aforementioned two players and Tim Hardaway.

Richardson produced 27 points (10-15 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six assists, two blocked shots, a steal and a rebound across 35 minutes in Thursday's 116-108 loss to the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Without Luka Doncic in the lineup, Richardson summoned up some of the magic he produced so often in Philadelphia. The transfer to Dallas has been a mixed bag for the standout guard, and playing second fiddle to Doncic hasn't helped his fantasy value. He needed a Doncic absence to put up his best scoring total in a Mavericks uniform. Richardson is certainly worth a spot on fantasy rosters, but his awesome talent will continue to be overshadowed by the marquee players.
