Analysis:

Richardson, who recently returned from a two-year absence, will be held out on the second night of a back-to-back after playing 26 minutes against the Pacers on Sunday. With Robert Covington also out, JaKarr Sampson will move into the starting lineup at shooting guard. Barring a setback, expect Richardson to be back in the mix Wednesday.
