Mason Plumlee

Richards was back in the Suns' lineup after sitting out Friday's win over the Cavaliers with a calf injury. While he wasn't spectacular against the Bucks, Nick did record his ninth double-double since joining the Suns via trade. His return pushes Oso Ighodaro to the bench, with the rookie tallying four points, two rebounds and one steal in 19 minutes. Mason Plumlee, who also was available after missing Friday's game, picked up a DNP-CD. While Richards hasn't been a great fantasy option, he's done enough to merit being rostered in deep leagues.

Richards and Plumlee are available for Monday's game, with the former returning to the starting lineup. Oso Ighodaro will head to the bench, which eliminates what little streaming value he possessed. Who serves as Richards' backup remains to be seen, with Oso offering a higher upside than Plumlee.

Neither Richards nor Plumlee was available for Friday's win over the Cavaliers, resulting in rookie Oso Ighodaro moving into the starting lineup. Playing 44 minutes, Ighodaro tallied six points, 13 rebounds and four assists. If available, Richards will return to the starting five, while Plumlee is not guaranteed the rotation minutes needed to impact fantasy basketball.

Richards reportedly injured his calf during his pregame workout, which is why he is a late scratch after not being on the injury report. With Mason Plumlee out, Oso Ighodaro and Bol Bol should split the center minutes.
