Everyone knows about Nikola Jokic's quest for a fourth MVP award, but Tim Hardaway Jr. is on a quest for postseason hardware of his own. THJ's been the Nuggets' bench leader, and he will be up for the NBA's 6th Man of the Year award at the end of the season.
The Nuggets have had a staggering number of injuries this season, but one constant that's remained is Hardaway, who's played 54 of the team's 55 games, making just five starts, by design. Head coach David Adelman has preferred to keep THJ as the anchor of the bench, choosing to insert younger wings such as Peyton Watson and Julian Strawther into the starting lineup instead.
