Title: I'm having trouble with a datastore and leaderboard, I'm a beginner at datastore, can some please help?

ServerScriptServiec.leaderstats:18: attempt to index local 'saved' (a nil value)

local datastore = game:GetService('DataStoreService'):GetDataStore("Friends")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
		local leaderstats = Instance.new("IntValue", player)
		local friends = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)	
		
		leaderstats.Name = 'leaderstats'
		friends.Name = "Friends"
		
		local uniquekey = "friends-"..player.userId
		local pointsvalue = player.leaderstats.Friends.Value
		local saved = datastore:SetAsync(uniquekey, pointsvalue)		
		
		
		if saved then
			pointsvalue = saved[1] 
			else
			saved:GetAsync(uniquekey, pointsvalue)
		end		
		
		
		
	
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(player)
	local pointsvalue = player.leaderstats.Friends.Value
	local uniquekey = "friends-"..player.userId	
	
	datastore:SetAsync(uniquekey, pointsvalue)
end)

You save and load data through the data store. You are trying to save it through the value returned from a data store.
