Hart won't play in Tuesday's game against the Pistons due to a left knee contusion, Jim Eichenhofer of Pelicans.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Listed as questionable heading into Monday's eventual 93-90 loss to Cleveland, Hart suited up and finished with 10 points, 10 rebounds, three assists and two steals in 37 minutes. It's unclear if he aggravated the injury or not, but chances are, the Pelicans are simply holding him out for precautionary purposes on the second half of the back-to-back. Hart should have a good chance to return for Friday's game at Denver.
