Bulls' Nick Richards: Flirts with double-double
Richards closed with 11 points (3-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), eight rebounds and one block in 26 minutes during Monday's 132-124 victory over the Rockets.
Although he was unable to carve out a steady role during his time with the Suns, Richards has taken on a key role in the frontcourt since joining the Bulls. The 28-year-old big man has averaged 10.1 points, 7.6 rebounds and 0.9 blocks in 23.7 minutes per tilt across his last eight games (three starts), shooting 50.8 percent from the floor over that stretch.

Bulls' Nick Richards: Starting vs. Cleveland
Richards will start Thursday's game against the Cavaliers.
With Jalen Smith (calf) unavailable, Richards will get the starting nod in the second leg of this back-to-back set. The big man's lone start with Chicago came in Friday's loss to the Clippers, when he posted 10 points (3-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, three blocks and one assist over 30 minutes.

Bulls' Nick Richards: Good to go Monday
Richards (back) will play Monday against the Grizzlies.
Richards was added to the injury report due to lower-back tightness, but the issue won't prevent him from taking the floor Monday night. He'll presumably fall back to a bench role with Jalen Smith returning from a calf injury that held him out of Friday's game.

Bulls' Nick Richards: Won't start Monday
Richards (back) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.
Richards will be active despite previously being listed on the injury report with lower-back tightness, though he'll operate off the bench Monday after starting Friday's contest. The big man has come off the bench in 39 of his 42 appearances this season between the Suns and Bulls, averaging 5.6 points and 4.9 rebounds in 13.9 minutes per contest as a reserve.

Bulls' Nick Richards: Probable for Monday
Richards has lower back tightness and is probable for Monday's game versus Memphis.
Richards was a late addition to the injury report, but he intends to play through this minor setback. Over his last six games, he's averaging 11.0 points, 9.5 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in 26.2 minutes per contest.

Bulls' Nick Richards: Blocks three shots in spot start
Richards registered 10 points (3-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and three blocks over 30 minutes during Friday's 119-108 loss to the Clippers.
Richards moved into the starting lineup for the first time since joining the Bulls, filling in for Jalen Smith, who was given the night off as part of his injury-management plan. Richards has now tallied double-digit points in four straight games, averaging 11.3 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.5 blocks during that time.

Bulls' Nick Richards: Starting Friday
Richards is in the starting lineup for Friday's matchup with the Clippers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Richards will draw his first start in a Bulls uniform, and it'll be Josh Giddey, Tre Jones, Matas Buzelis and Leonard Miller joining Richards in the first unit for Friday's game. The big man is capable of racking up the boards and blocks when given the minutes, so he's on the radar as a potential streamer in deep leagues.

Bulls' Nick Richards: Another strong line
Richards provided 15 points (7-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 26 minutes during Thursday's 142-130 loss to the Lakers.
Richards continues to play an expanded role for a Chicago team that is dealing with several injuries. He's been a solid low-end streaming option over his last six games, posting averages of 11.2 points, 9.3 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 25.7 minutes per contest.

Bulls' Nick Richards: Logs solid result in loss
Richards closed with 10 points (3-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-7 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and one block in 21 minutes during Sunday's 126-110 loss to the Kings.
Richards recorded his third double-double of the season, outplaying spot starter Guerschon Yabusele. Jalen Smith (calf) appears to be the heir apparent following Nikola Vucevic's departure, but Richards has years of experience as a starter for Charlotte and Phoenix. He will be used liberally as Smith works back up to 100 percent, but due to his limited workload, Richards is likely outside the realm of fantasy viability at this juncture.

Bulls' Nick Richards: Double-double off bench Tuesday
Richards registered 12 points (6-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 13 rebounds and one steal over 23 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 116-108 loss to the Thunder.
The 28-year-old center has only two double-doubles on the season, but they've both come in the last three games. Richards is handling a larger role than expected in the Chicago frontcourt due to injuries, and in 10 games since coming over from Phoenix, he's averaging 9.5 points, 7.5 boards and 0.9 blocks in 21.9 minutes a contest. With Jalen Smith (calf) set to return soon, however, Richards' role will likely shrink.

Bulls' Nick Richards: Decent line off bench
Richards registered 11 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-4 FT), seven rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 27 minutes during Sunday's 120-97 victory over the Bucks.
Richards continues to see an expanded role for the Bulls with so many injuries in the frontcourt. Guerschon Yabusele is holding down the fort as the starting center, but Richards is getting enough burn with the second unit to make an impact in deeper fantasy formats.

Bulls' Nick Richards: Nabs first double-double of season
Richards recorded 14 points (4-7 FG, 6-6 FT), 10 rebounds and one assist across 27 minutes during Thursday's 121-112 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Richards provided solid contributions off the bench and secured his first double-double of the 2025-26 campaign in the process. The big man saw an uptick in playing time Thursday with Jalen Smith (calf) sidelined, and that trend should continue with Smith ruled out for at least the next week.

Bulls' Nick Richards: Pulls down season-high 13 boards
Richards ended with nine points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 13 rebounds and one block across 23 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 105-99 loss to New York.
Jalen Smith (calf) left the game in the third quarter and didn't return, giving Richards an opportunity to post a new season high in boards. If Smith ends up sidelined for any length of time, Richards would likely be the biggest beneficiary. Over six games since being acquired from the Suns, the 28-year-old center is averaging 8.7 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in 20.0 minutes.

Bulls' Nick Richards: Will play Sunday
Richards (foot) will play Sunday against the Knicks, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.
Richards will continue to operate as Jalen Smith's primary backup Sunday evening. Through five games with the Bulls this season, Richards has mustered averages of 8.6 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per contest.

Bulls' Nick Richards: Questionable for Sunday
Richards is questionable for Sunday's game against the Knicks due to right foot soreness.
Richards could hit the sidelines for the second leg of this back-to-back set, which might open up some additional minutes for Guerschon Yabusele and Patrick Williams. Check back closer to tipoff for official word on Richards' status.

Bulls' Nick Richards: Only 12 minutes in loss
Richards amassed six points (2-2 FG, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and one block in 12 minutes during Thursday's 110-101 loss to Toronto.
With Jalen Smith returning from a calf injury, Richards was limited to just 12 minutes, the fewest he has played since joining the Bulls. While he was able to cobble together some intriguing performances in his first two games for Chicago, his two most recent appearances have been far less inspiring. For now, he should only be rostered in deeper formats.

Bulls' Nick Richards: Impresses in loss
Richards had 12 points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals in 26 minutes during Monday's 123-115 loss to the Nets.
Richards was productive for the second straight game, continuing what has been a strong start to his career in Chicago. With Jalen Smith sidelined due to a calf injury, Richards has assumed the role of backup center behind Guerschon Yabusele. In two games since landing with the Bulls, Richards has averaged 13.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3.5 combined steals and blocks in 22.5 minutes per contest. He is worth considering for streaming purposes, at least until Smith is cleared to return.

Bulls' Nick Richards: Ready for Chicago debut
Richards (recently traded) is off the injury report for Saturday's game against Denver.
Richards is set to be available off the bench for his Bulls debut Saturday. The 2020 second-rounder offers Chicago some frontcourt depth, but considering he last appeared Jan. 7 for the Suns, Richards would likely need Jalen Smith (calf) to be out in order to see significant minutes.

Bulls' Nick Richards: Rerouted to Chicago
Richards was traded to the Bulls on Thursday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Richards, who'd fallen out of favor in Phoenix, was traded, along with Nigel Hayes-Davis, to the Bucks on Thursday in exchange for Cole Anthony and Amir Coffey. However, the Bulls swept in right before the deadline to swap Ousmane Dieng for Richards. Jalen Smith was set for a long runway after Chicago traded Nikola Vucevic to the Celtics, but Richards' presence as a quality backup may hinder Smith's fantasy ceiling moving forward. Richard can be considered questionable for Saturday's game against Denver while the deal finalizes.
