Hardaway scored 24 points (9-18 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT) while adding four rebounds and three assists in 32 minutes during Sunday's 102-101 win over the Trail Blazers. It's his best performance yet as a Maverick, as the 26-year-old found a rhythm as the second scoring option behind rookie phenom Luka Doncic. Hardaway won't see the shot volume or production he did in New York, but he should still be productive down the stretch once he's fully adjusted to his new system and teammates.

Hardaway produced 12 points (5-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists, and one steal in 27 minutes during Friday's 122-107 loss to the Bucks. Hardaway drew the start but was inefficient once again. He has combined to score 24 points on 28 field goal attempts while providing as many turnover as assists (four) across his first two games with the Mavericks. He'll look to redeem himself during Sunday's showing versus the Trail Blazers.

Hardaway will start Friday against the Bucks, Bobby Karalla of the Mavericks' official site reports. Hardaway came off the bench in his first game with Dallas, but as expected, he'll join the first unit, where he figures to stay for the remainder of the season. As a result, Dorian Finney-Smith will bump over a spot to power forward.

Hardaway played 26 minutes and supplied 12 points (5-16 FG, 2-9 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block Wednesday in the Mavericks' 99-93 win over the Hornets. Coach Rick Carlisle deployed Hardaway off the bench for his Dallas debut, with the 26-year-old working as the top substitute for starting wings Jalen Brunson and Dorian Finney-Smith. The Mavericks traded another starting forward in Harrison Barnes away to the Kings during the contest, so there could be an opportunity for Hardaway to move up to the top unit as soon as Friday's game against the Bucks. Even if Hardaway remains on the bench, he could at least benefit from a slight usage spike with Barnes out of the picture.

Hardaway (not injury related) will be in uniform for Wednesday's game against the Hornets, Dwain Price of the Mavericks' official site reports. Hardaway has sat out the past two games due to trade formalities, but he's set to make his Mavericks debut Wednesday. In January, he averaged 14.6 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 30.6 minutes while shooting 38.0 percent from the field. It's not immediately clear how his role will change with Dallas, but it's possible he enters the starting five.
