Hardaway agreed to a one-year deal with the Nuggets on Tuesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hardaway spent the 2024-25 campaign with the Pistons, playing and starting in 77 games. The veteran sharpshooter averaged 11.0 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game while shooting 40.6 percent from the field and 36.8 percent from deep. Denver will be the fifth team Hardaway has played for during his NBA career.

Hardaway closed with seven points (3-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and one steal across 33 minutes during Thursday's 116-113 loss to the Knicks in Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

EDGE Analysis

Hardaway was unable to get anything going on the offensive end, bringing to an end what has been a somewhat disappointing season for the veteran. Despite starting for the entire campaign, his numbers took a hit compared to the past few seasons. Hardaway closed with averages of 11.0 points and 2.2 three-pointers in 28.2 minutes per game.

Hardaway had 14 points (5-16 FG, 4-13 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 37 minutes during Sunday's 94-93 loss to the Knicks in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

EDGE Analysis

Hardaway had a chance to win this game for Detroit, but a controversial no-call on a three-pointer attempt went in New York's favor with footage showing Josh Hart making contact with the sharpshooter. Now the series will shift back to New York with the Knicks holding a 3-1 advantage. Hardaway has struggled with his shot in this series, hitting 38.0 percent from the field and 35.9 percent from beyond the arc for 14.3 points in 30.3 minutes.

Hardaway produced 24 points (7-13 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 36 minutes during Thursday's 118-116 loss to the Knicks in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

EDGE Analysis

Hardaway delivered a bounce-back performance after shooting 0-for-8 from the floor and scoring zero points during Monday's Game 2 win. The sharpshooter knocked down a game-high seven triples on Thursday, and he tied Cade Cunningham for the team-high mark in points. However, Hardaway struggled in the second half, shooting just 2-for-7 from the field and scoring six points. He's averaging 14.3 points, 3.3 three-pointers, 1.7 rebounds and 1.0 assists across 28.3 minutes per game during the first round.

Hardaway contributed zero points (0-8 FG, 0-6 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across 21 minutes during Monday's 100-94 win over the Knicks in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

EDGE Analysis

Hardaway had a rough night in Game 2 in New York, going scoreless for the fifth time in his career during the NBA playoffs. This is a drastic change from the veteran's performance in Game 1, when he finished with 19 points on 7-for-13 shooting. However, the result was different for Detroit this time around, as they were able to even up the series at one game apiece Monday.

Hardaway recorded 19 points (7-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 28 minutes during Saturday's 123-112 loss to the Knicks in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference quarterfinal-round series..

EDGE Analysis

Hardaway had a solid performance in the Game 1 loss to the Knicks, finishing with an efficient 19 points. However, it wasn't enough for Detroit to get the win in New York, as the up-and-coming Pistons lost by 11 to get their first-round playoff series underway Saturday.

Hardaway closed Monday's 127-117 loss to Sacramento with 19 points (6-15 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and two assists in 35 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Hardaway's fantasy lines usually rely on his ability to score and knock down three-pointers. Over his last seven appearances, Hardaway has been a fifth-round value in nine-category formats with averages of 19.7 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 3.7 three-pointers in 33.1 minutes per contest.

Hardaway provided 23 points (8-14 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 119-103 loss to the Thunder.

EDGE Analysis

Hardaway had another impressive showing and extended his streak of games with at least 20 points to three straight outings. He's shooting 50 percent from the floor and 53.6 percent from three-point range over that stretch, and with both Tobias Harris (Achilles) and Cade Cunningham (calf) sidelined, Hardaway should continue to operate as one of the Pistons' go-to options on offense, especially as long as he continues to ride a hot hand.

Hardaway finished with 20 points (5-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 7-8 FT), four rebounds, one block and one steal in 30 minutes during Sunday's 123-104 loss to the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

Hardaway was unable to repeat the 32-point performance he delivered against the Cavaliers, and while his shot wasn't falling as much as it did Friday, the veteran still posted a solid line in this 19-point defeat. He's certainly taking advantage of the absences to Cade Cunningham (calf) and Tobias Harris (Achilles). Hardaway has scored in double digits in eight of his last 10 games and is doing a good job as one of the Pistons' primary offensive weapons, averaging 12.7 points per game over that stretch.

Hardaway finished Friday's 133-122 win over the Cavaliers with 32 points (10-18 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three assists and one rebound over 33 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Hardaway entered Friday's contest having shot just 37.4 percent from the field and 30.3 percent from three-point range since the beginning of March. He came out firing in the first quarter with 13 points while connecting on three triples, and his 10 points in the third quarter helped the Pistons extend their lead to 18. Hardaway's 32 points were a season high, and he'll look to carry the hot hand into Sunday's interconference clash against the Timberwolves.
