Richard is a late addition to Monday’s injury report, which puts his status in question against Memphis. Richard’s absence could free up additional playing time for the likes of De’Anthony Melton and Gary Payton II.

Richard is available after initially being listed as questionable. The rookie has started Golden State’s last two games and could make a third straight start, as Jimmy Butler (knee) suffered a season-ending ACL tear during Monday’s win over the Heat.

Even with Butler (personal) back with the team, Richard will make a second consecutive start on Monday. This time, he’s filling in for Draymond Green, who’s out with an ankle injury. The promotion gives Richard a higher fantasy ceiling, but he is not a must-stream player.

Richard was initially probable for Saturday’s game, so the status upgrade was expected. With Jimmy Butler (illness) also available, the rookie will come off the bench after starting Friday’s loss to the Thunder.

Richard was in the starting lineup for Friday’s loss to the Thunder, filling in for Jimmy Butler. Despite dealing with a left heel injury, the rookie appears to be on track to play. Whether he starts depends on Butler, who is considered questionable.

Richard was one of three Warriors to lead the team with 13 points in Friday’s blowout defeat. Given the opposition, it’s unsurprising that the rookie and his teammates struggled to get untracked offensively. With some of the key players who sat on Friday expected to play in Saturday’s game against the Jazz, Richard won’t be worth rostering for Golden State’s final game of Week 11.

On a night when Draymond Green only played eight minutes due to his ejection, Richard stepped up and gave the Warriors valuable contributions off the bench. The rookie’s 20 points were the most in a game for him since November 5, when he dropped a season-high 30. Add in the rebounds, three-pointers and percentages, and this was an excellent showing from Richard. That said, he isn’t someone who should be in fantasy managers’ plans unless the Warriors’ rotation is decimated by injuries.

Warriors head coach Steve Kerr made just one change to his starting lineup, replacing Quinten Post with Richard. The smaller lineup may work better defensively, mainly since the Thunder employs only one big man in their current five (Chet Holmgren). Starting gives Richard a higher fantasy ceiling, but he is not a must-stream in this spot.

With Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler, Draymond Green and Al Horford all unavailable, the Warriors have multiple holes to fill in their starting lineup. Of the five starters, Podziemski and Moody are the safest options for fantasy managers seeking streamers, but Richard has also been solid this season.

Richard has reached double figures in three straight games, which have coincided with Stephen Curry’s absence due to illness. The opportunities haven’t been consistent enough for the rookie to remain rostered in fantasy leagues, but he’s becoming a player who’s at least worthy of a look on nights when the Warriors aren’t at full strength. And another such day may be on the horizon, as Golden State begins Week 4 with a Tuesday/Wednesday back-to-back, and neither game will be nationally televised.

Making his first career start, Richard made the most of his opportunity. One night removed from picking up a DNP-CD in a win over the Suns, the second-round pick dropped a highly efficient 30 points while providing value in rebounds, assists and three-pointers. Richard should not be rostered in fantasy leagues, especially if Stephen Curry is back for Friday’s game against the Nuggets. However, his name should be filed away for the next time the Warriors decide to hold out a few of their vets.
