Richards logged two points (1-2 FG) and one assist across eight minutes during Friday's 117-98 loss to the Rockets. 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 will come off the bench Wednesday against the Kings, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports. Richards started Monday with Mark Williams taking a rest day, but Williams will return to the starting lineup Wednesday, shifting Richards back to the second unit. Through 16 games as a reserve this season, Richards owns averages of 4.1 points and 3.5 rebounds in 9.6 minutes per game.

Richards will come off the bench during Sunday's game against the Hawks, Shane Young of Forbes.com reports. Richards will come off the bench due to Mark Williams (rest) returning to the lineup. In his last five games in a reserve role, Richards is averaging 3.4 points and 4.0 rebounds in just 9.4 minutes per contest.

Richards contributed six points (3-5 FG, 0-2 FT), seven rebounds and one assist over nine minutes during Wednesday's 123-114 victory over Dallas. With Mark Williams (ankle/rest) out against the Pacers on Thursday, Richards should see an expanded role in the frontcourt. He could be the starting center, though a potential timeshare with Oso Ighodaro and Khaman Maluach will limit Richards' upside.
