Josh Richardson fills it up again as Heat defeat Wizards
Miami Heat guard/forward Josh Richardson scored 28 points (8-of-21 field goals, 7-of-8 free throws) with 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, 5 3-pointers, and 2 turnovers in 38.4 minutes of a 113-112 win over the Washington Wizards on Thursday.
What It Means:
Richardson has attempted a career-high 21 shots in both games to start the year for a Heat squad that is missing some offensive assets. His 26.1 percent usage rate is tops on the team. Miami hosts the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday.
Richardson scored 44.3 FanDuel points in the second half of the back-to-back, beating out numberFire's projection (27.5 FanDuel points) for the second consecutive game.
