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.

Hardaway finished Thursday's 137-131 overtime loss to the Warriors with 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal across 22 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Hardaway saw a solid role off the bench in his Denver debut, and he logged more minutes than Peyton Watson (16) and Bruce Brown (19). Hardaway doesn't offer much upside outside of points and three-pointers, however, so his fantasy value is likely going to be limited to deeper formats.

Hardaway tallied 13 points (4-7 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist over 22 minutes during the Nuggets' 94-91 preseason loss to the Thunder on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Hardaway was moved into the Nuggets' starting five for Friday's preseason finale due to the absence of Christian Braun (rest). Hardaway reached double-digit points for a second straight game, and his four triples were tied with Julian Strawther for most on the Nuggets. Hardaway signed a one-year contract with the Nuggets in the offseason after spending the 2024-25 campaign with the Pistons, and the veteran guard figures to serve in a rotational role off the bench for the 2025-26 regular season.

Hardaway will start in Friday's preseason game against the Thunder, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Christian Braun (rest) sitting out the team's preseason finale, Hardaway will step into the starting five. The veteran swingman is expected to compete for minutes off the bench with Julian Strawther and Bruce Brown in the 2025-26 campaign.

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.

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.
