Hardaway logged 17 points (5-11 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-5 FT) and six rebounds in 27 minutes during Friday's 134-133 win over Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Hardaway provided a spark off the bench for Denver, leading the second unit in points. The veteran swingman has scored in double figures in six straight games, shooting 41.9 percent from beyond the arc during that span. He also chipped in a season-high six rebounds Friday. While it's encouraging to see Hardaway contribute on the glass, he rarely provides much fantasy value outside points and three-pointers.

Hardaway closed with 23 points (8-14 FG, 7-11 3Pt) and three rebounds over 27 minutes during Saturday's 130-112 win over the Suns.

EDGE Analysis

Hardaway caught fire in the win, connecting on a season-high seven three-pointers. The 23 points also matched his season high, marking the fourth game in his past five in which he has scored in double digits. As per usual, Hardaway offers nothing outside of points and threes, making him a streaming candidate and nothing more.

Hardaway posted 13 points (5-10 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one block in 27 minutes during Monday's 125-115 victory over the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

Hardaway continues to offer very little outside some sporadic scoring, tallying fewer than 15 points for the fifth straight game. Despite an unexpected opportunity due to injuries to other players, Hardaway has been largely underwhelming, averaging 10.6 points and 2.0 three-pointers in 24.8 minutes per game over the past eight contests.

Hardaway accumulated 12 points (5-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds and two assists over 31 minutes during Friday's 112-109 win over the Rockets.

EDGE Analysis

Hardaway played a season-high 31 minutes, stepping into a larger role after Aaron Gordon was forced from the game due to a hamstring injury. With Christian Braun (ankle) also on the pine, it could be Hardaway who steps into the starting lineup, starting Saturday against the Kings. Despite the looming uptick in playing time, Hardaway remains a viable option only for those needing threes.

Hardaway will come off the bench Monday night against the Bulls.

EDGE Analysis

Hardaway drew a rare start Saturday against the Timberwolves and performed at a high level, but he'll return to his typical bench role Monday with Cameron Johnson (biceps) returning to the court. Hardaway is averaging 11.0 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.6 assists per contest over 11 games off the bench this season.

Hardaway is in the Nuggets' starting lineup against the Timberwolves on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Hardaway will make his first start of the 2025-26 regular season Saturday and will likely stay in the Nuggets' starting five for as long as Christian Braun (ankle) is sidelined. Hardaway is averaging 11.0 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.5 threes over 22.8 minutes per game this season.

Hardaway racked up six points (2-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 24 minutes during Tuesday's 122-108 victory over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Hardaway saw a sizable workload in the win, but he couldn't get much going offensively. Despite this dud, Hardaway has been a viable fantasy asset in deeper formats thus far. Through 10 games, he holds regular-season averages of 10.9 points, 1.9 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.5 three-pointers in 23.0 minutes per contest.

Hardaway registered 18 points (7-12 FG, 4-9 3Pt) and three rebounds over 24 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 122-112 win over Miami.

EDGE Analysis

The four made three-pointers tied Hardaway's season high. The veteran wing has hit for at least one trey in all seven games to begin the campaign, averaging 11.3 points, 2.4 threes, 1.6 boards and 1.1 assists in 23.3 minutes a contest as a key part of the Nuggets' second unit.

Hardaway recorded five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal over 23 minutes during Monday's 130-124 victory over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Hardaway has posted modest production through six games, averaging 7.5 points and 2.2 three-pointers in 23.2 minutes. His limited usage on a loaded Nuggets team makes him primarily relevant in deeper fantasy leagues.

Hardaway closed with 20 points (7-11 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and three assists over 32 minutes off the bench during Monday's 127-114 victory over Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran forward topped 30 minutes for the first time in three games as a member of the Nuggets, and Hardaway's 20 points and four made threes were more than he produced in the first two games combined. The elevated usage came in part as a result of Cameron Johnson (shoulder) checking in and out of the lineup before finally calling it a night in the fourth quarter. If Johnson winds up missing additional time, Hardaway should see a bigger workload and could move into the starting five.
