Richardson scored 21 points (7-14 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT) while adding five rebounds and five assists in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 126-125 win over the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

Miami beat Golden State at its own game, draining 18 three-pointers to the visitors' 17 -- with Richardson tying Dwyane Wade for the Heat lead in that category on the night. The 25-year-old wing is now averaging 17.9 points, 4.7 assists, 3.0 boards and 2.3 threes through 11 games in February.

Richardson recorded seven points (2-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine assists, six rebounds, and one steal in 37 minutes during Monday's 124-121 loss to the Suns.

EDGE Analysis

Richardson struggled with his shot but matched his career high in dimes. He has substantially increased his scoring (from 12.9 to 17.4) and assist average (from 2.9 to 4.0) while limiting turnovers (1.8 per game this season compared to 1.7 per last season). The 25-year-old wing is a strong candidate for Most Improved Player, as he continues to round out his game quite nicely.

Richardson totaled 22 points (8-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds and two assists over 36 minutes in the Heat's loss to the Pistons on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Richardson led the team in scoring in a losing effort, and he posted his highest point total since scoring a career-high 37 on Feb. 10. He's averaging career highs in points (17.5), assists (3.9) and rebounds (3.5) this season.

Richardson totaled 37 points (14-22 FG, 8-11 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five assists, one rebound and one steal across 37 minutes in the Heat's 120-118 loss to the Warriors on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The scoring tally was a career high for Richardson, who paced the Heat in shot attempts during the narrow loss. The 25-year-old helped Miami go on a shocking 24-2 run in the first quarter and drained a season-best eight three-pointers, the latest sign that he's left a recent shooting slump firmly behind. After going six straight games in which he failed to shoot better than 38.9 percent, Richardson has now shot at least 60.0 percent in three consecutive contests.

Richardson contributed 18 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals across 34 minutes in the Heat's 118-108 win over the Trail Blazers on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Richardson's production served as an ideal complement to the offensive exploits of Hassan Whiteside (28 points) and Dwyane Wade (22 points). The 25-year-old completed his emergence from a multi-game shooting slump in significant fashion, as his 66.7 percent success rate from the floor was his best since Jan. 19. Richardson had worked his way back up to 42.9 percent shooting in his most recent contest Saturday against the Pacers, but he'd failed to top 38.9 percent in any of the six games prior to that contest. The fourth-year wing is enjoying a career-best campaign overall, with his points (17.3), assists (3.8) and rebounds (3.7) all representing new high-water marks.

Richardson totaled 14 points (3-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 7-8 FT), three assists and two rebounds over 36 minutes in the Heat's loss to the Pacers on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Richardson turned in another solid performance in Saturday's loss in line with his season averages. His point total was modest but as Miami's leading scorer at 17.3 points per game, he's a threat to go off on any given night.

Richardson accumulated 16 points (5-14 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, five assists and a steal in 36 minutes Wednesday against the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

Richardson scored in double-figures for the third-straight game, and overcame a rough shooting night to produce a solid line. Although his efficiency has dipper over the course of the season, Richardson remains a candidate for most improved player as the fourth-year guards averaging 17.8 points, 3.9 assists, 3.8 rebounds, 2.5 threes and 1.1 steals in 34.4 minutes per game.

Richardson tallied 11 points (4-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt), four steals, three assists and one rebound across 32 minutes in Monday's 107-99 loss to the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

Richardson scored the most points of any Heat starter in the game, so the loss can be attributed to a lack of scoring from the starters. Richardson's defensive ability and shooting confidence from deep make him a viable guard asset for the Heat.

Richardson recorded 26 points (10-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, and two assists in 30 minutes during Saturday's 117-103 win over the Bulls.

EDGE Analysis

Richardson returned to the lineup following a one-game absence with an illness to deliver an extremely efficient scoring performance. He didn't provide his usual well-rounded line, contributing sparingly in the other categories. Nevertheless, Richardson has been among the league's most improved players and is maintaining career-high averages in points, rebounds, assists, made threes, and minutes per game.

Richardson (illness) will play Saturday against the Bulls, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Despite missing Friday's game against Detroit and recently being downgraded to questionable, Richardson will give it a go Saturday. He'll likely return to his role in the starting lineup and approach his averages of 17.7 points, 4.0 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 34.6 minutes.
