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.
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.

Rotowire

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.
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.

Nuggets' Tim Hardaway: Pops for 20 against T-wolves
Rotowire
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.
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.

Nuggets' Tim Hardaway: Notches 10 points Thursday
Rotowire
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.
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.

Nuggets' Tim Hardaway: Sinks four threes in preseason loss
Rotowire
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.
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 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.

The sharpshooter knocked down a game-high seven triples on Thursday, and he tied Cade Cunningham for the team-high mark in 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.

Pistons' Tim Hardaway: Extends hot streak
Rotowire
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.
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.
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.

Pistons' Tim Hardaway: Drains seven threes vs. Cleveland
Rotowire
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.
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.
