Richard chipped in 10 points (3-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and five steals over 35 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 141-127 overtime loss to the Raptors.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie second-round pick had just four total steals over his prior eight games combined, but Richard was very busy at the defensive end as he set a new career high in the category, while also setting a new career high in minutes. Richard has regained a spot in the backcourt rotation even with Stephen Curry healthy, and over the last four games he's averaging 8.8 points, 3.8 boards, 1.5 threes and 1.3 steals in 2.0 minutes as part of the Warriors' second unit.

Richard chipped in 20 points (6-7 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and five rebounds in 19 minutes during Saturday's 119-116 win over the Suns.

EDGE Analysis

Richard scored at least 20 points for just the second time in his career, fresh off three consecutive DNP-CD's. While this was an encouraging performance by the rookie, projecting him to do this again feels like fool's gold. The backcourt rotation in Golden State seemingly changes on a nightly basis, and for fantasy purposes, avoiding it altogether feels like a smart move.
