New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Josh Richardson is in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Toronto Raptors.
Richardson is replacing Trey Murphy in the lineup to make his first start in a Pelicans uniform. Dyson Daniels (ankle) is still out, so there are additional minutes available in the rotation. Richardson played 34 minutes in his Pelicans debut and then was ejected in the last game before the break.
numberFire's models project Richardson for 22.9 minutes and 18.5 FanDuel points on Thursday, and he has a $5,900 salary on the Main slate. Per numberFire's NBA Heat Map, the Pelicans’ implied total (110.0) is the lowest out of 18 active teams today and the game total (226.0) is second-lowest on the board.
