BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 13% of leagues
ANALYSIS: It's been a while since tweener Tim Hardaway Jr. moved from his classic SG role to manning the SF slot in Dallas, making room for Luka Doncic and Spencer Dinwiddie to operate the one-and-two-guard spots. That's great for the future of Timmy in Texas after the arrival of Kyrie Irving, as nothing will change that much when it comes to his presence in the starting unit.
Hardaway went down injured on Saturday after just 16 minutes, suffering from tightness in his right hamstring. It doesn't sound too bad, but keep an eye on further developments just in case. No matter what, the Mavs are very thin on the wings after trading some starters away in exchange for Kyrie and that had Hardaway starting at PF (!) last Saturday.
While his shot has been a bit off of late, the truth is that Hardaway is keeping up a respectable 37%+ from the field considering he's hoisting 12 FGA per game, and even more than nearly eight (65 percent 3PT-Rate%) of those shots come from beyond the 3-point arc. Timmy is scoring treys at a 35% clip for an average of 2.8 3PM per game this season.
Hardaway had his best game of the year back on January 22 when he reached 40 FP by virtue of a 22-8-1 line with two blocks on top of that. It was the best game he'd played since December 6 (44 FP). In six games this month, Hardaway is averaging a 14-5-3 per-game line to go with a season-high 3+ 3PM per game, and all of those numbers include his 16-minute brief appearance before getting injured on Saturday.
