Richardson has averaged 14.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.5 three-pointers and 1.2 steals in 31.2 minutes per game over his last six games.
EDGE Analysis
Though Richardson has been consistently providing offensive support behind stars Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis of late, he hasn't delivered any truly eye-popping scoring lines of late, topping out at 17 points during that six-game span. It's worth noting that Porzingis missed three of those contests and Doncic was sidelined for Wednesday's 87-78 win over the Thunder with lower-back tightness, so Richardson is probably more likely to see his production decrease from this level once both Doncic and Porzingis are back to full health. Even though Richardson was unable to fully take advantage of Doncic's absence Wednesday, he at least supplemented his 16 points (on 5-for-14 shooting) with a season-high four steals.

Richardson went for 13 points (5-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and six rebounds over 32 minutes during Thursday's 111-97 loss to the 76ers.
EDGE Analysis
Richardson and Luka Doncic (19 points) were the only starters to score in double figures. Thursday marked the second time in four games that he had failed to drain a shot from distance and his fifth time overall this season. While Richardson has scored at least 10 points in nine of 11 February games, his production otherwise has been hardly noticeable. He has nearly as many turnovers (22) as assists (38) and he's managed to grab two or less rebounds in five of the 11 contests.

Richardson had 16 points (7-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds and an assist across 30 minutes in Tuesday's win over the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
Richardson was the only other starter to score in double digits alongside Luka Doncic, but he didn't do much aside from surpassing the 15-point mark for the second straight contest -- and for the fourth time in his last seven appearances. He is usually able to contribute in more ways than just scoring, but his output was rather limited this time around and he delivered a subpar outing aside from his scoring figures.

Richardson delivered 17 points (6-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two steals across 35 minutes in Monday's win over the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
Richardson has been battling with left hip soreness but that doesn't stop him from putting up his highest-scoring output since Feb. 8, when he scored 18 points against the Timberwolves. Richardson has scored in double digits in seven of his last nine contests, so he's been a reliable scoring source for the Mavericks even when he doesn't have a starring role on offense.

Richardson (hip) will play in Monday's game against Memphis.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Richardson, who's battling left hip soreness, will take the court for a 12th straight matchup. Over those past 12 games, the guard is averaging 11.5 points, 3.5 assists and 2.9 rebounds while playing 31.1 minutes.

Richardson is listed as probable for Monday's game against Memphis due to tightness in his left hip.
EDGE Analysis
The issue doesn't look to be anything overly concerning, but it's something to keep an eye on as the Mavericks return to play after an eight-day break due to postponements. Richardson struggled in his last appearance (Feb. 14 vs. POR), finishing with just six points, three assists and two rebounds in 25 minutes. Prior to that game, he'd scored in double figures in four straight, averaging 14.0 points, 5.0 assists and 2.0 made threes in that span.

Richardson had 10 points (3-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five assists and two rebounds in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 118-117 win over Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
It was a relatively quiet performance, but Richardson still managed to score in double-digits for the fifth time in the past six games. The 27-year-old is averaging 14.8 points, 4.2 assists and 3.5 rebounds over 33.3 minutes during that six-game stretch.

Richardson scored six points (2-9 FG, 2-7 3Pt) and added five assists, one rebound and one steal in the Mavericks' 147-116 loss to the Warriors on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Coming off of a rough shooting game last time out, Richardson's struggles continued Thursday. Richardson, who missed some time due to COVID-19 safety and protocols still has yet to play with any consistency this season. Currently, in his first season with the Mavericks, he is not a reliable player in most fantasy formats.

Richardson scored 14 points (3-11 FG, 1-7 3PT, 7-8 FT) to go along with six rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks across 36 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
Richardson went cold with his shot from the field, struggling particularly from three-point range. He picked up his performance from the free-throw line, highlighted by surprising volume. The other encouraging aspect of Richardson's performance was his defensive stats, as it was the first time this season that he managed multiple steals and blocks in the same contest. Early on with Dallas, Richardson's defensive stats have fallen below his career norms, though as he continues to recover from a lengthy absence caused by the COVID-19 health and safety protocols his numbers may continue to improve.

Richardson registered 24 points (9-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two steals across 37 minutes in Monday's loss against the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
Richardson has been underwhelming during most of the season, but he delivered one of his best performances of the campaign Monday -- he surpassed the 20-point mark for the second time and also ended a streak of three straight games scoring fewer than 10 points. This game should boost Richardson's confidence, but he needs to show an adequate level of consistency to be reliable across most formats. Right now, his numbers aren't strong enough to make him a valuable asset barring some specific formats.
