Stat line: 15 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals on 28.6 % shooting

After scoring 16 points in the win against the Bucks, Richardson was once again in his elements as he put together a double-double scoring 15 points and 10 rebounds in the win against the Magic.

At 10:59 mark, he knocked down a three-pointer to extend the Heat's lead to 16 points. He went on to score six straight points for the team and tallied 9 points in the second quarter. However, the 25-year-old struggled from the field as he only shot 4-for-14, including 2-for-8 from the three-point line.

Despite his shooting struggles, he managed to find ways to score and was also efficient on the defensive end as he finished the night +21. This was his first double-double of the season.
