Richardson is dealing with a sore ankle and is considered doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Kings, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is the first we've heard of the injury for Richardson and while it doesn't appear to be anything overly serious, it is still expected to keep him sidelined for Wednesday's contest. Look for a final confirmation at some point closer to tip-off, though if all goes as planned, he should get the night off. Richardson's absence would likely mean more minutes for guys like Wayne Ellington, Justise Winslow and Rodney McGruder.

Richardson had 16 points (5-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three steals, two rebounds and two assists in 35 minutes during Tuesday's 117-113 loss to the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
In what was an interesting game for the Heat, Richardson delivered his now standard fantasy line. Three of the starters saw under 22 minutes, as the bench kept the Heat relevant. Despite having a team worst -20 in the plus-minus column, he managed to see plenty of court-time, much to the delight of his many owners. The Heat face the 76ers in another crucial Eastern Conference battle on Thursday and Richardson should be front and center for the encounter.

Richardson scored 17 points (7-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) to go with four rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks in 35 minutes during Saturday's 105-96 win against Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
Since shooting 3-of-11 for six points against Philadelphia on Tuesday, Richardson has steadily improved over his last two games. The forward is shooting a combined 43.3 percent from the floor, including 4-of-11 from beyond the arc, for a total of 32 points in his last two games. For the Heat to hold on to the eighth spot in the East, Miami needs players like Richardson to carry the load. If he can start scoring like he did on Saturday, Richardson and the Heat will be in good shape when the playoffs begin.

Richardson scored 15 points (6-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) while adding five steals, three rebounds and an assist in 27 minutes during Saturday's 115-89 win over the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
The steals tied his season high, set Friday in New Orleans. Richardson's offense remains steady -- he's scored in double digits in 21 of 24 games in 2018 -- but his ability to contribute in defensive categories as well has given the 24-year-old a strong fantasy floor as his skills continue to develop.

Richardson finished with 15 points (7-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, five steals, three assists and two blocks in 37 minutes during Friday's 124-123 loss to the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
Richardson tied his season-high with five steals but missed a final second put-back which would have handed the Heat a victory. He continues to be a nice source of defensive stats while contributing in a range of other areas. The return of Dwyane Wade has not had an impact on either his minutes or role and he should clearly be owned in all leagues.

Richardson went for 16 points (6-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and one steal across 30 minutes in Friday's 91-85 win over the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
The third-year forward was once again sharp from the field, as he shot at least 50.0 percent for the fourth straight contest. It was also Richardson's eighth straight double-digit scoring effort, and 15th in his last 16 games overall. The 24-year-old's improvement across the stat sheet has been vast this season, as he was posting career bests in scoring (13.4), shot attempts (11.1) and shooting percentage (45.5) coming into Friday's contest.

Richardson scored 30 points (11-20 FG, 7-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT) to go along with four rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block across 39 minutes during Wednesday's 109-101 loss to the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
Richardson was on fire from beyond the arc in this one as his season-high seven treys helped him reach the 30-point mark for the first time. He was counted on to contribute elsewhere with Wayne Ellington (shoulder) sidelined, and responded with an impressive all-around performance. Richardson has been in a groove of late, averaging 23 points, 4.3 assists and 3.3 made three-point attempts per game over the last three.

Richardson scored 20 points (8-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT) while adding two rebounds, two assists and a steal in 37 minutes during Monday's 111-109 loss to the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
It was his best scoring effort in over a month, but Richardson has been remarkably consistent during that stretch, putting up double-digit points in 13 of the last 14 games while averaging 14.4 points, 3.8 assists, 3.7 boards, 1.9 three-pointers, 1.6 steals and 1.1 blocks. The 24-year-old's ability to contribute in multiple categories gives him a strong fantasy floor in both season-long and DFS formats, and his ceiling in a Miami offense that's usually looking for extra offense can't be ignored either.

Richardson scored 19 points (6-13 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT) while adding five assists, two rebounds, a steal and a block in 34 minutes during Saturday's 95-91 win over the Hornets.
EDGE Analysis
After managing only six points Thursday on 2-for-13 shooting, Richardson bounced back with a solid performance. The third-year wing is prone to occasional duds, but he's scored in double digits in 21 of his last 23 games while making a contribution in almost every fantasy category, giving him a a sturdy floor even if he lacks a high ceiling.

Richardson recorded 12 points (5-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist, one steal, and one block in 37 minutes during Monday's 99-90 loss to the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
Richardson saw heavy minutes once again, as Goran Dragic (knee) and Tyler Johnson (ankle) remained sidelined Monday while Dion Waiters (ankle) underwent season-ending surgery. After a slow start to the campaign, Richardson has turned up in December and January, establishing himself as a jack-of-all trades who can fill up the box score on any given night. He also had 12 single-digit scoring performances through his first 19 appearances in 2017-18, after which he has reached double figures in 26 of the last 28 tilts.
