Hardaway finished with 19 points (7-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists and two steals over 19 minutes off the bench during Friday's 157-103 win over the Trail Blazers.
The veteran forward led the second unit in scoring and was one of seven Nuggets to score in double digits, as they set a new franchise record for points in a road game. Hardaway has drained at least three three-pointers in nine of the last 12 games, averaging 15.3 points, 3.6 boards, 3.2 threes and 1.2 assists in 27.5 minutes during that span while shooting 45.8 percent from beyond the arc.

Nuggets' Tim Hardaway: Logs 21 points from bench
Rotowire
Hardaway posted 21 points (7-8 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and three rebounds across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 122-116 win over the Grizzlies.
Hardaway is in the midst of a solid string of performances heading into the All-Star break. Over the past four games, he's averaged 18.8 points, 3.3 rebounds and 0.8 assists. His scoring and rebounding averages during the stint are well above his seasonal averages in those categories. Absences from Aaron Gordon (hamstring) and Peyton Watson (hamstring) are probable reasons for the boost.

The veteran forward had scored just nine combined points in the prior two games while shooting just 1-for-13 from the floor, but Hardaway cranked up his efficiency Wednesday even though his usage didn't increase significantly with the extra court time. Hardaway has drained multiple three-pointers in five of the last seven contests, averaging 15.1 points, 4.6 boards, 3.4 threes and 1.4 assists in 29.4 minutes over that span while shooting 48.0 percent from beyond the arc.

Nuggets' Tim Hardaway: Hits five triples, but tweaks ankle
Rotowire
Nuggets head coach David Adelman said after Friday's 122-109 win over the Clippers that Hardaway tweaked his ankle during the contest and will be re-examined Saturday, Brendan Vogt of TheDNVR.com reports. Hardaway finished the game with 22 points (6-9 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT) and two rebounds in 25 minutes off the bench.
The 33-year-old wing continued his hot-shooting ways from downtown in the win, burying at least three three-pointers for the fourth game in a row en route to finishing second on the team in scoring behind Nikola Jokic (31 points). Hardaway was denied the opportunity to potentially add to his scoring haul, however, as he checked out of the game for good with 7:20 left in the fourth quarter to get his ankle checked out in the locker room. The Nuggets should provide an update on Hardaway's status when they release their next injury report later Saturday in advance of Sunday's game versus the Thunder.

The seven made three-pointers tied his season high, and it was the fourth time in 14 January games that Hardaway has scored at least 25 points, as he continues to anchor the second unit for an injury-depleted Denver squad. On the month, the veteran forward is averaging 16.0 points, 3.3 threes, 2.9 boards and 1.6 assists in 28.9 minutes.

Hardaway had been listed as probable, and now we have official confirmation that he'll be out there Thursday night.

Hardaway is probable for Thursday's game against the Wizards with a right knee bruise.
Hardaway is expected to play the front end of the Nuggets' back-to-back. The veteran swingman has scored in double figures in all but one of his appearances in January (10 games) and should continue to play a big role off the bench in the absence of Christian Braun (ankle).

Rotowire

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.

Rotowire
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.
Jamal Murray (ankle/illness) sat out for the second straight game, and Christian Braun (ankle) was unable to go as well. That created more opportunity for Hardaway, and the veteran took full advantage. 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.

Nuggets' Tim Hardaway: Iffy for Wednesday
Rotowire
Hardaway is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Celtics due to illness management.
Hardaway may need to sit out consecutive games, considering he missed Monday's win over Philadelphia as well.

Rotowire
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.
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.
