Hardy is not in the Mavericks' starting lineup against the Jazz on Saturday, per Christian Clark of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

Hardy has started in each of the Mavericks' last three games and averaged 13.7 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 3.0 threes over 25.0 minutes per game over that span. He'll retreat to the bench for Saturday's contest while Max Christie enters the Mavericks' starting five.

Hardy is starting Monday's game against the Nets, Christian Clark of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hardy will draw just his second start of the season as the Mavericks have elected to shake up the first unit Monday. His last start dates back to Dec. 23 against Denver, when he finished with 10 points, two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 28 minutes.

Hardy is in the Mavericks' starting lineup against the Nuggets on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Hardy has been a healthy DNP in four of the Mavericks' last nine games, but the 2022 second-rounder will enter the starting lineup Tuesday for the first time this season due to the absence of P.J. Washington (foot). Hardy is averaging 5.7 points, 1.2 rebounds and 1.1 threes over 10.5 minutes per game this season.

Hardy notched four points (1-5 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 11 minutes during Monday's 119-113 loss to New Orleans.

EDGE Analysis

It's worth mentioning that Brandon Williams sprained his right ankle Monday, making his status worth monitoring. If Williams can't give it a go, it's possible Hardy gets a longer look. Hardy has averaged just 8.3 minutes across his last seven appearances.

Hardy supplied 17 points (4-9 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT) and three rebounds across 14 minutes during Monday's 120-96 loss to the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

Hardy paced the Mavericks with a season-high 17 points, though it had little impact in an eventual blowout loss. The young guard's minutes have fluctuated throughout the year, as he's averaged 5.9 points in 10.9 minutes across 12 appearances. One factor that could help him secure a steadier role is his strong three-point shooting, as he's knocking down 45.5 percent of his attempts this season after hitting four from deep Monday.

Hardy finished with zero points (0-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt) and one rebound over 10 minutes during Wednesday's 101-99 loss to New Orleans.

EDGE Analysis

Hardy has not been a consistent figure in the Mavericks' rotation and barely sees the court as the third-string point guard behind D'Angelo Russell and Brandon Williams. Hardy has gone scoreless in two straight contests and will likely see very limited action moving forward.

Hardy produced 11 points (4-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, one assist and two steals over 21 minutes during Monday's 101-94 loss to Oklahoma City.

EDGE Analysis

Hardy played at least 20 minutes for the first time this season, tallying a season-high 11 points. Dallas is struggling to find a winning formula at the moment, having won just one of its four games thus far. While Hardy can provide an offensive boost off the bench, he is largely unproven when it comes to putting up consistent numbers. There is no reason to make him a priority right now, but he is worth keeping an eye on moving forward.

Hardy recorded 13 points (5-15 FG, 3-9 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists and three turnovers in 18 minutes of Monday's 114-101 preseason win over the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

D'Angelo Russell was rested Monday, so the Mavericks opted to start Cooper Flagg at point guard. Hardy made the most of his limited run off the bench, but Ryan Nembhard, who is also vying for rotation minutes, played 26 minutes and had six points, 12 assists and five rebounds.

Hardy produced 12 points (4-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 22 minutes of Monday's 106-89 preseason win over the Thunder.

EDGE Analysis

Mavericks coach Jason Kidd utilized 15 different players Monday, but it was Hardy who led the team in minutes played. Hardy is certainly not shy on the offensive end, and he seems determined to make his case for an early-season role in the absence of Kyrie Irving (knee).

Hardy (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Raptors.

EDGE Analysis

Hardy missed the Mavericks' last two games due to a right ankle sprain, but he's progressed enough in his recovery to play in Friday's interconference clash. Hardy averaged 12.1 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists over 18.8 minutes per game in his nine outings prior to his most recent injury.
