Mavericks' Jaden Hardy: Signs three-year extension
Jaden Hardy and the Dallas Mavericks agreed to a three-year, $18 million contract extension Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.Hardy has showcased immense upside in his first two seasons in the NBA, but he faces an uphill battle for consistent playing time. As long as Luka Doncic (calf), Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson are healthy, it'll be difficult for Hardy to provide quality fantasy production. However, if any of those players are sidelined for an extended period this season, Hardy would be a primary beneficiary.

Mavericks' Jaden Hardy: Flirts with double-double

He figures to face an uphill battle for regular playing time competing against the likes of Spencer Dinwiddie and Quentin Grimes, but Monday's performance was a strong way to kick off the preseason for the young guard.

Mavericks' Jaden Hardy: Heats up off bench in Game 4
Jaden Hardy posted 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt) and one rebound across 12 minutes during Tuesday's 105-100 loss to Minnesota in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals.Hardy has yet to play more than 12 minutes in any game in the series, and he's yet to log more than 15 minutes in any playoff appearance this season, but he made the most of his time in this Game 4 loss. The lack of minutes he's seen suggests this was a one-off outburst, however, so fantasy managers shouldn't trust him in Game 5 of the series Thursday.
