NBA Daily Notes: The Rockets seem to be back to their best; Top fantasy picks for January 8th

SF 2 - Josh Richardson (Miami Heat):

The Miami Heat have been playing some really good basketball of late. They are finally in playoff contention and are sitting pretty at the 6th spot in the Eastern Conference. They have a 19-19 record and have won 7 of their last 10 matches. The breakout of Josh Richardson was on hold, but it seems to be resuming again now that he seems to have found his shot.

Miami Heat are playing really well as of now

Richardson is averaging 18 points per game with 4 assists and 4 rebounds. He had started off the season really well, having a breakout campaign. But then, he lost his form and was trending downwards until recently, when he rediscovered his form.

In the latest game against the Atlanta Hawks, he scored only 11 points with at 36% shooting, with 4 assists and 3 rebounds.

The Heat will be hoping it was just a one game blip and Richardson will be playing at the highest level against the Denver Nuggets tomorrow.

Alternate pick: Kawhi Leonard (Toronto Raptors)
