Jason

Richardson

He originally hurt his hand against Utah on Nov. 5 and because it gets hit every time he plays, it’s bothered him in every game since. At times, he has had his fingers taped up to help stop the pain. The results of the exam will be known later today and he is questionable for Saturday’s game against Memphis.

Richardson can play while the tendon heals -- as long as he can tolerate the pain. We’d say he tolerated it pretty well last night when he went for 26-12-7. Get him active.

However, it’s still extremely puffy and he can’t put any pressure on it. With Mickael Pietrus also out, Calbert Cheaney will see a lot of minutes.

He’s missed eight games with his ankle injury, and it looks to become at least nine. It’s no coincidence Golden State has lost eight in a row. The Warriors are the Expos of the NBA. Players leave there and have much success. The Wizards alone are thriving with former Warriors Antawn Jamison, Larry Hughes, and Gilbert Arenas.

He’s calling himself 75%, which means he’s very iffy for Monday’s game, although he should definitely be playing again by the end of the week. His ankle sprain was very similar to Kobe Bryant’s.

He practiced slightly Sunday and is listed as questionable. Activate him only if you need to take the chance and don’t have any better options playing more games.

The knee has bothered him for a year and the “cleanup” procedure is not thought to be serious and he should be ready to go for training camp.

“I haven’t tested myself in a competitive situation to say whether or not I’m 100 percent,” Redick said. “But I’m feeling great. I really am. I don’t know what percentage I’m at, but I’m really, really, really happy with where I’m at right now.” Redick might be a sleeper pick in fantasy now that he’s healthy, and not only is Vince Carter out of the way (Phoenix), but Jason Richardson is an unrestricted free agent.

Redick, when in his groove this year, has produced this type of line on most nights whether he’s starting or coming off the bench. He hasn’t been fully consistent, though, so he’s only worth a look if you’re hunting 3-pointers, especially with Jason Richardson (virus) back in the fold.

At least he got back onto the court, giving owners some peace of mind heading into the break. Our take is that the virus is a non-issue going forward, so owners should continue evaluating him as a must-own player in 8/9 cat, 12-team formats. Ryan Anderson had an off-night with 10 points on 4-of-13 shooting (including two threes) with five rebounds, one steal, and one block, and Dwight Howard went for 12 and 12 with two steals and five blocks.
