Mavericks' Josh Richardson (COVID-19) could return this week
Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Josh Richardson (COVID-19) could be back at some point this week, per head coach Rick Carlisle.
What It Means:
Richardson has already been ruled out for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets, so his next chance to play will be Wednesday versus the Denver Nuggets. The 27-year-old wing hasn't played since January 7. Carlisle said that, after Richardson, the order to return is Dorian Finney-Smith, Dwight Powell, and Maxi Kleber, though everything remains fluid. Jalen Brunson and Trey Burke should continue to see expanded roles in Monday's matchup.
Brunson is currently numberFire's third-best value on Monday's 10-game slate. He has a salary of $4,300 and our models project him for 25.4 FanDuel points. The Nuggets are allowing the sixth-most FanDuel points per game to the point guard position this season.
