Richards amassed six points (2-2 FG, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and one block in 12 minutes during Thursday's 110-101 loss to Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

With Jalen Smith returning from a calf injury, Richards was limited to just 12 minutes, the fewest he has played since joining the Bulls. While he was able to cobble together some intriguing performances in his first two games for Chicago, his two most recent appearances have been far less inspiring. For now, he should only be rostered in deeper formats.

Richards had 12 points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals in 26 minutes during Monday's 123-115 loss to the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

Richards was productive for the second straight game, continuing what has been a strong start to his career in Chicago. With Jalen Smith sidelined due to a calf injury, Richards has assumed the role of backup center behind Guerschon Yabusele. In two games since landing with the Bulls, Richards has averaged 13.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3.5 combined steals and blocks in 22.5 minutes per contest. He is worth considering for streaming purposes, at least until Smith is cleared to return.

Richards (recently traded) is off the injury report for Saturday's game against Denver.

EDGE Analysis

Richards is set to be available off the bench for his Bulls debut Saturday. The 2020 second-rounder offers Chicago some frontcourt depth, but considering he last appeared Jan. 7 for the Suns, Richards would likely need Jalen Smith (calf) to be out in order to see significant minutes.

Richards was traded to the Bulls on Thursday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Richards, who'd fallen out of favor in Phoenix, was traded, along with Nigel Hayes-Davis, to the Bucks on Thursday in exchange for Cole Anthony and Amir Coffey. However, the Bulls swept in right before the deadline to swap Ousmane Dieng for Richards. Jalen Smith was set for a long runway after Chicago traded Nikola Vucevic to the Celtics, but Richards' presence as a quality backup may hinder Smith's fantasy ceiling moving forward. Richard can be considered questionable for Saturday's game against Denver while the deal finalizes.

The Suns traded Richards and Nigel Hayes-Davis to the Bucks on Thursday in exchange for Cole Anthony and Amir Coffey, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Richards fell out of favor in Phoenix, making only one four-minute appearance in January, but will get a fresh start in Milwaukee. He should slot right into the backup role behind Myles Turner, but with Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) and Bobby Portis (hip) currently banged up, Richards and Turner may see the court together at times. If Richards can't get to Milwaukee in time for Friday's game in Indiana, his next chance to suit up will come Monday in Orlando.

Richards posted four points (2-2 FG), one rebound and one steal in four minutes during Wednesday's 117-98 win over Memphis.

EDGE Analysis

Richards continues to be a non-factor, appearing in a game for the first time this calendar year. He has now suited up in just three of the past 11 games, serving as the third-string center behind Mark Williams and Oso Ighodaro. With averages of just 3.3 points and 3.4 rebounds this season, Richards can be safely ignored in basically every fantasy format.

Richards logged two points (1-8 FG), nine rebounds and three blocks over 17 minutes during Monday's 115-101 victory over the Wizards.

EDGE Analysis

With Mark Williams serving a one-game suspension, Richards saw his largest workload since Nov. 24. The veteran has become expendable in Phoenix, and he's likely to draw some interest from contending teams ahead of the deadline.

Richards logged two points (1-2 FG) and one assist across eight minutes during Friday's 117-98 loss to the Rockets.

EDGE Analysis

Richards is basically an afterthought at this point, having now played fewer than 10 minutes in seven of the past eight games. Even in a blowout loss, he was unable to have any sort of tangible impact, a trend that has seen him drop off the fantasy radar across all formats. In 14 appearances over the past month, he has averaged just 3.2 points and 3.5 rebounds in 10.3 minutes per contest.

Richards posted zero points (0-2 FG) and three rebounds in seven minutes off the bench during Saturday's 130-112 loss to the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

Richards had an opportunity to step things up Saturday, following the announcement that Mark Williams would miss the game due to a calf injury. Despite the lack of center depth, Richards still managed to play only seven minutes, continuing what has been a terrible season thus far. Through 21 games, he is averaging just 3.8 points and 3.4 rebounds in 9.8 minutes per contest.

Richards will start Saturday against the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

With Mark Williams (calf) sidelined, Richards will enter the starting five. In his previous two starts this season, the big man averaged 4.0 points and 6.0 rebounds in 18.5 minutes per contest.
