Listed out for Saturday
Hardy (recently traded) is out for Saturday's game against the Nets.
Analysis
Wednesday's trade centered around Anthony Davis (finger) still isn't official, so Hardy is unable to make his Wizards debut. His next opportunity to do so arrives Sunday against the Heat.

Won't play Thursday
Hardy (trade pending) won't play Thursday in Detroit.
Analysis
The trade sending Hardy to Washington has not yet been finalized, so Hardy won't be available for Thursday's game. He'll likely make his Wizards debut Saturday in Brooklyn.

Traded to Wizards
Hardy is being traded to the Wizards on Wednesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. Anthony Davis (finger), D'Angelo Russell (illness) and Dante Exum (knee) will join Hardy in Washington, with Khris Middleton, AJ Johnson, Malaki Branham and Marvin Bagley heading to Dallas. The Mavericks also received two first-round picks and three second-round picks.
Analysis
Hardy was an inconsistent part of the rotation in Dallas, but he could get some time to shine in D.C., so he's worth monitoring in deep leagues. He'll still be competing with Russell and Bub Carrington for minutes, and things could get complicated once Trae Young (knee) is cleared to play, so this is a wait-and-see situation in most fantasy leagues. Hardy can be considered doubtful for Thursday's game against the Pistons while the deal finalizes.
