Jaden Hardy Fantasy Stats

According to Evan Sidery, the Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly using guard Jaden Hardy in sign-and-trade discussions with the Atlanta Hawks. The two teams have been talking sign-and-trade this summer involving forward Jonathan Kuminga. It sounds like Lakers' guard Jaden Hardy or forward Jared Vanderbilt could be part of that deal, if it ever happens. It doesn't sound like the discussions got too far because the Hawks don't want to add payroll and actually need to make cuts with 17 players on their roster right now. A move elsewhere would probably help Hardy's fantasy value, but he's staying in Los Angeles right now.

Washington Wizards guard Jaden Hardy was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday, according to Shams Charania. The Wizards have traded Hardy and two second-round picks in exchange for center Deandre Ayton. The big man became expendable for the Lakers after they acquired Walker Kessler. Ayton figures to serve as the primary backup center to Alexandre Sarr. As for Hardy, he'll likely be a rotational piece for the Lakers. In 23 games with Washington, Hardy averaged 12.6 points, 1.3 assists, and 1.7 rebounds across 20.4 minutes per game. The 23-year-old has some scoring upside, but is unlikely to be a big part of the Lakers rotation.

Dallas Mavericks guard Jaden Hardy will start on Tuesday versus Denver. With Klay Thompson (knee), P.J. Washington (foot), and Max Christie (illness) sidelined, the Mavs need others to step up. This will be Hardy's first start of the 2025 campaign. Although he hasn't been productive this season, he certainly has more than enough streaming potential to justify starting him in all fantasy formats. In three starts last season, he averaged 14.7 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.3 steals.

Dallas Mavericks guard Jaden Hardy (ankle) will play on Wednesday versus Indiana after missing the last seven games because of a sprained right ankle. The Mavs have been without Anthony Davis (adductor) and Kyrie Irving (knee). But, to make matters worse, Klay Thompson (illness) and Brandon Williams (hamstring) are also sidelined. While Max Christie, Naji Marshall, and P.J. Washington should see most of the scoring opportunities on Wednesday, Hardy, averaging 8.0 points this season, could easily be more productive.

Dallas Mavericks guard Jaden Hardy (ankle) has been out since March 3 after spraining his ankle against the Sacramento Kings. According to the Mavericks' PR, Hardy and Anthony Davis (adductor) were both assigned to the team's G League affiliate. This seems to be for rehab purposes, so Hardy and Davis can get some more 5-on-5 work before re-joining the Mavericks. When Hardy returns, he'll likely have a big role with Kyrie Irving (knee) out for the rest of the season. In the meantime, Klay Thompson, Spencer Dinwiddie, and Max Christie will continue to see big minutes in the backcourt.

According to NBA reporter Chris Haynes, Dallas Mavericks guard Jaden Hardy (ankle) will be out of action against the Milwaukee Bucks and could miss a period of time due to spraining his right ankle on Monday against the Kings. With Hardy out and Kyrie Irving (knee) done for the remainder of the season, Spencer Dinwiddie will see extra minutes on the floor, which could significantly impact his fantasy production as more scoring opportunities will likely come his way.

Dallas Mavericks guard Jaden Hardy (ankle) will play on Saturday against Boston. He missed the last three games because of a sprained ankle. However, the 22-year-old has averaged just 8.1 points this season, so he likely won't have a spot in most fantasy lineups for the NBA Finals rematch. With Luka Doncic (calf), Naji Marshall (illness), Dereck Lively II (ankle), and Dwight Powell (hip) sidelined, there are minutes up for grabs. Still, Grimes can't be trusted for fantasy production, even with the potential for more work.

Dallas Mavericks guard Jaden Hardy (ankle) has been ruled out for a third straight game on Thursday when the Mavs visit the Thunder. Hardy was injured last Friday in the Mavericks' home win against Oklahoma City, and he won't make it back for this rematch. While he has been out, Spencer Dinwiddie and Quentin Grimes have been getting more playing time. Both Dinwiddie and Grimes have flashed high ceilings, but they have been very inconsistent working alongside Kyrie Irving in the backcourt while Luka Doncic (calf) continues to work his way back.

Dallas Mavericks guard Jaden Hardy (ankle) will be in the lineup for Wednesday's Christmas matchup against Minnesota. He's returning from a six-game absence after being initially listed as questionable for the contest. Hardy's addition adds an extra option for Dallas, but he isn't expected to be a major factor on Wednesday. Across 22 outings this season, the 22-year-old has averaged only 14.5 minutes per game, scoring 6.5 points. He has earned just 10 total minutes over his last two appearances.

Dallas Mavericks guard Jaden Hardy (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's Christmas clash with the Timberwolves. He has missed the last six games because of a sprained ankle. However, the 22-year-old is seemingly moving in a favorable direction regarding a return to the court. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, Hardy is having the worst year of his career, averaging only 6.5 points and 30.5% shooting from behind the three-point line. Even if he is cleared to suit up versus Minnesota, he'll have a tough time getting meaningful minutes with Luka Doncic (heel) and Kyrie Irving available. In addition, the uptick in production from Quentin Grimes could mean Hardy may have difficulty getting on the floor.
