Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Josh Richardson (COVID-19) could be back at some point this week, per head coach Rick Carlisle.
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.
