Hardaway (back) participated in Monday's practice, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.
Hardaway was one of several Mavericks held out for Saturday's game against the Thunder, but he's trending in the right direction for Wednesday's matchup against the Jazz. The veteran sharpshooter has been cold in recent games, shooting 30.6 percent from the field over his last three appearances.

Rotowire
Hardaway (back) will not play in Saturday's game versus the Thunder, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.
The Mavericks are going to be quite thin on the second leg of this back-to-back set, as Hardaway will join Kyrie Irving (foot), Josh Green (elbow), Dante Exum (personal) and Maxi Kleber (toe) on the sidelines. We could potentially see a good amount of Jaden Hardy on Saturday after he impressed in 21 minutes versus the Grizzlies on Friday.

Mavericks' Tim Hardaway: Scores 11 points in win
Rotowire
Hardaway supplied 11 points (4-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt) and one rebound in 22 minutes during Tuesday's 121-115 win over the Rockets.
Hardaway has gone cold in recent games, and his minutes suffered Tuesday as a result. Over his last three games, Hardaway is shooting 30.6 percent from the field. Hardaway is still on pace for his highest scoring average since 2018-19, with 16.8 points per game this season, so it's just a matter of time before positive regression kicks in.

Mavericks' Tim Hardaway: Scores in double digits off bench
Rotowire
Hardaway finished Sunday's 129-113 loss to the Kings with 14 points (5-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists in 27 minutes.
Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving are the dominant presences in the Mavericks' offensive scheme, but Hardaway is finding ways to make an impact when coming off the bench. The veteran sharpshooter has scored in double digits in nine straight games while draining multiple threes in each of those outings, and he is playing a big role for the team despite not being a starter. Through those nine contests, Hardaway is averaging 18.3 points per game while shooting 40.5 percent from three-point range.

Mavericks' Tim Hardaway: Drains seven threes in win
Rotowire
Hardaway posted 31 points (11-20 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 2-5 FT), four rebounds and three assists over 27 minutes during Wednesday's 130-117 win over Washington.
With Kyrie Irving (foot) sidelined, Hardaway stepped up from the second unit with a season-best scoring effort. The 31-year-old guard has hit for multiple threes in seven straight games and 11 of 12 to begin the year, and he's already drained seven or more in a game twice, matching his total from all of 2022-23. Hardaway's 40.2 percent shooting from beyond the arc would also be a career-high mark if he can keep it up, and his performance so far is part of a team-wide effort by the Mavericks that has coach Jason Kidd's squad leading the NBA with 17.2 made threes per game on 39.5 percent shooting.

Mavericks' Tim Hardaway: Sniffs double-double off bench
Rotowire
Hardaway recorded 15 points (4-14 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds and two assists in 28 minutes during Sunday's 136-124 victory over the Pelicans.
Hardaway has been thriving off the bench of late, and aside from ending just one rebound shy of a double-double in this one, it's also worth noting he extended his streak of games with 15 or more points to five. The veteran guard is averaging 17.6 points per game in a bench role this season.

Rotowire
Hardaway closed with 21 points (8-16 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and six rebounds in 31 minutes during Monday's 117-102 victory over Orlando.
Hardaway is bombing triples, connecting on 38.5 percent of 9.3 three-point attempts per game. Additionally, he's showing some bounce attacking closeouts and running in transition for the Mavericks. Hardaway is an underrated veteran scoring component, even if threes are his only source of fantasy value.

Mavericks' Tim Hardaway: Continues strong start to season
Rotowire
Hardaway closed Monday's 125-110 win over the Grizzlies with 21 points (8-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and five rebounds in 29 minutes.
Kyrie Irving (foot) sat out the contest, but the Mavericks elected to start Josh Green instead of Hardaway in his place. That didn't seem to bother Hardaway, as the veteran sharpshooter rattled off a season-high point total on the strength of an efficient 8-for-14 shooting line. Hardaway has given Dallas offensive consistency off the bench this season, playing between 28 and 30 minutes and scoring between 17 and 21 points in each of the team's three games thus far. He's also made exactly three triples in each of his three contests, giving him some fantasy appeal as a three-point specialist despite a lack of production in most other areas.

Mavericks' Tim Hardaway: Puts up 19 points off bench
Rotowire
Hardaway contributed 19 points (6-17 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 30 minutes during Friday's 125-120 win over the Nets.
Hardaway's fantasy viability is dependent on his scoring ability, and he delivered a strong performance here despite coming off the bench. He's better suited to operate with the second unit or as a floor space alongside the backcourt of Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, but either way, Hardaway will be valuable in fantasy as long as he can score the rock with some decent degree of consistency.

Mavericks' Tim Hardaway: Effective off bench
Rotowire
Hardaway supplied 17 points (5-14 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 126-119 win over the Spurs.
Hardaway had plenty of looks from beyond the arc Wednesday but wasn't particularly efficient. However, he still managed to lead the Mavericks' reserves on the scoreboard in the narrow victory. Hardaway started in 45 of his 71 appearances last year and averaged 14.4 points and 3.5 rebounds in 30.3 minutes per game, and it appears as though he'll have a chance to maintain his production this year even if he continues to come off the bench.

Mavericks' Tim Hardaway: Drops 24 points in win

Hardaway was held to six points in 18 minutes his last time out Sunday in Atlanta, but he was able to rediscover his shooting touch as the Mavericks returned home to the American American Center. Even after the poor showing in Atlanta, Hardaway has generally been trending upward as the regular season nears its conclusion. He's unseated Josh Green for a starting role and is averaging 18.3 points (on 51.4 percent shooting from the field), 3.7 three-pointers, 3.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 31.8 minutes per game over his last six appearances.

Mavericks' Tim Hardaway: Tallies season-high 31 points
Rotowire
Hardaway finished with 31 points (11-15 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven assists and six rebounds across 41 minutes during Saturday's 129-122 loss to the Heat.
Hardaway set a new season high in the scoring column with hyper-efficient shooting from the field and three-point line guiding him to the new mark. He's now posted at least 20 points in two straight games, but it hasn't been enough for Dallas to avoid losses, which currently puts the team on the outside looking in for a spot in the Western Conference Play-In Tournament. As Dallas continues to push for as many wins as possible over its final four games of the regular season, look for Hardaway to retain a big-minute role while serving as the third option on offense behind stars Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving.
