Likely to play Tuesday Hardaway is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Lakers due to a right knee contusion.

Impact The right knee contusion is a new concern for Hardaway, though he's still likely to suit up Tuesday. The veteran swingman has scored in double figures in eight of his nine appearances so far this month, averaging 17.3 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 29.7 minutes per game over that stretch.

Impact Only three Nuggets produced double digits on the night, but Hardaway wasn't even the team's leading scorer, as Jamal Murray went off for 42.

Big line off bench Hardaway recorded 25 points (8-12 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds and two steals in 35 minutes during Sunday's 108-104 win over the Bucks.

He's been trending up over his last seven games, posting averages of 16.4 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 3.4 three-pointers in 29.7 minutes per contest.

Iffy for Wednesday Hardaway is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Celtics due to illness management.

Impact Hardaway may need to sit out consecutive games, considering he missed Monday's win in Philadelphia as well. More playing time would become available for Spencer Jones and Bruce Brown on the wing if Hardaway is out again, with Christian Braun (ankle) also being uncertain for Wednesday.

Tallies 15 points Friday Hardaway recorded 15 points (6-14 FG, 3-9 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists across 28 minutes during Friday's 113-108 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Hardaway continues to log heavy minutes, scoring at least 15 points for the sixth time in the past seven games. Although he has been able to increase his production, Hardaway's overall fantasy value remains limited. He is worth having in standard leagues for now, specifically for anyone needing points and threes.

Coming off bench Wednesday Hardaway is not in the Nuggets' starting lineup against the Raptors on Wednesday, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Hardaway has recently taken on an expanded role in the absence of Cameron Johnson (knee), but the former will operate in a reserve role Wednesday while Jalen Pickett enters the Nuggets' starting five. Over his last five games (three starts), Hardaway has averaged 19.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 4.4 threes over 31.2 minutes per game.

Making most of opportunity Hardaway closed Saturday's 127-126 loss to Orlando with 20 points (6-14 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and two assists across 33 minutes.

Impact Hardaway has moved into the starting lineup due to the absence of Cameron Johnson (knee), and it's safe to say the veteran is making the most of his opportunity. Including starts and bench appearances, this was Hardaway's fourth straight game with at least 19 points while shooting an impressive 20-for-46 from three-point range in that stretch. Hardaway should remain productive as long as he continues to make the most of his floor-spacing ability while sharing the floor with Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic.

Impact Hardaway is quietly finding his stride in Denver. Over his past three outings he's averaging 21 points per game and has knocked in 16 three-pointers. The Nuggets will be leaning on Hardaway now since Cameron Johnson is due to miss time with a knee injury. The 41 minutes played also set a new a season high for THJ.
