Availability
Jaden Hardy (trade) will be available to make his debut for the Wizards on Wednesday in their matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Fantasy Impact
Wednesday will be the first opportunity that Hardy will have to make his debut for the Wizards, as he is off of the injury report and fully good to go ahead of their matchup against the Cavaliers. It remains to be seen what his role will look like with his new team, however.
Jaden Hardy will not make his debut with the Wizards on Sunday against the Heat.
Fantasy Impact
Hardy was acquired by Washington at the trade deadline. It is unclear what role he'll play.
Jaden Hardy has been traded to the Washington Wizards as part of a larger deal that sends Anthony Davis to the Wizards for a host of players and picks.
Fantasy Impact
Hardy has been playing a backup role with occasional starts for the Mavericks this season, and will likely continue to do so in Washington. His fantasy upside remains limited.
Jaden Hardy drew his second consecutive start in Thursday's 144-122 victory over the Utah Jazz, finishing with 19 points (5-15 FG, 4-13 3PT, 5-6 FT) with one rebound and five assists.
Fantasy Impact
Hardy has seen increased opportunities with Max Christie (illness) sidelined over the last two games, averaging 26.6 minutes. However, he has struggled with efficiency, shooting just 30.8% from the floor. He remains a viable streaming option for Saturday’s game against the Jazz only if Christie is sidelined again.
Jaden Hardy scored 17 points (6-17 FG, 2-9 3PT, 3-4 FT) and grabbed four rebounds in Sunday's 132-97 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies.
Fantasy Impact
Hardy was one of the lone bright spots for the Mavericks on Sunday in their blowout loss to the Grizzlies. He led the bench with 17 points scored on the night, but he also left something to be desired with his efficiency. Fantasy managers should still be well pleased with his performance overall, though his fantasy output was nothing special.
