Bulls' Nick Richards: Impresses in loss
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.
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.

Bulls' Nick Richards: Ready for Chicago debut
Richards (recently traded) is off the injury report for Saturday's game against Denver.
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.

Bulls' Nick Richards: Rerouted to Chicago
Richards was traded to the Bulls on Thursday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
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.

Bucks' Nick Richards: Shipped to Milwaukee
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.
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.

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

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

Suns' Nick Richards: Woeful season continues
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.

Suns' Nick Richards: Goes scoreless in loss
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.
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.

Suns' Nick Richards: Starting sans Williams
Richards will start Saturday against the Nuggets.
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.

Suns' Nick Richards: Headed to bench
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.

Suns' Nick Richards: Starting vs. Rockets
Richards is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Houston, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.
Richards will join the first unit with Mark Williams (knee) sitting out Monday. Richards has made one other start this season, finishing with four points, one rebound and one block in 15 minutes Nov. 13 against the Pacers.

Suns' Nick Richards: Coming off bench Sunday
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.

Suns' Nick Richards: Starting Thursday
Richards is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game versus the Pacers, Shane Young of Forbes.com reports.
Mark Williams (rest) is taking the night off, so Richards will draw his first start of the season and will be joined by Devin Booker, Grayson Allen, Dillon Brooks and Royce O'Neale in the first unit. Richards is capable of racking up the boards and blocks when given the minutes, so he could be someone to consider streaming Thursday with just three games on the slate.

Suns' Nick Richards: Could see increased role Thursday
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.

Suns' Nick Richards: Scoreless in 12 minutes
Richards accumulated zero points (0-1 FG), two rebounds and one steal in 12 minutes during Wednesday's 114-113 loss to the Grizzlies.
Richards has appeared in all five games for the Suns, but he continues to see scraps off the bench with an average of 10.0 minutes per contest. Mark Williams seems to have found his stride, and the Suns are going to try and find minutes for rookie Khaman Maluach whenever possible. Richards' fantasy appeal is quite limited for the time being.

Suns' Nick Richards: Suiting up for season opener
Richards (rest) is available for Wednesday's season opener against Sacramento, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
After resting for Phoenix's preseason finale, Richards will be back in uniform Wednesday. The big man is lined up for a timeshare alongside Khaman Maluach as the backup center behind Mark Williams, meaning Richards has minimal fantasy upside to open the new campaign.
