Hart finished Sunday's 134-98 win over Brooklyn with 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal over 21 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Hart has been an important piece off the bench for New York and is on a streak of scoring 10-plus points in four consecutive games. In those four games, Hart is averaging 13.8 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 0.5 steals and 2.0 threes made, which is terrific production following his rather slow start to the season.

Hart registered 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt), 10 rebounds and five assists over 26 minutes during the Knicks' 119-102 win over the Wizards on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Hart was cleared to play Monday after initially being listed as questionable due to a sprained left ankle. It didn't seem to bother him too much, as he led the bench with 26 minutes en route to his first double-double of the season. Hart started in all 77 regular-season games for the Knicks last year, but he has come off the bench in each of his six outings and appears to be destined for a sixth-man role for the 2025-26 campaign. He is averaging 6.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 0.7 steals over 23.5 minutes per game to open the season.

Hart (ankle) will play in Monday's game against the Wizards, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

After logging 26 minutes in Sunday's win over Chicago, Hart will shed his questionable tag due to a sprained left ankle and suit up in the second leg of New York's back-to-back set. Over five regular-season appearances, the 30-year-old forward has averaged 5.0 points, 6.6 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 23.0 minutes per game off the bench.

Hart (ankle) is questionable to play Monday against the Wizards.

EDGE Analysis

Hart played 26 minutes in Sunday's win over the Bulls but is now in danger of missing the second leg of New York's back-to-back set. With Mitchell Robinson (ankle) already ruled out, it is likely Guerschon Yabusele plays a more prominent role Monday.

Hart amassed zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 15 minutes during Friday's 135-125 loss to the Bulls.

EDGE Analysis

Hart hit rock bottom in the loss, failing to score in arguably the worst performance of his career. With Mitchell Robinson returning to action, the path to minutes for Hart just got even murkier. Despite coming off a breakout season, the current trajectory for Hart makes it hard to make a case for him being a must-roster player.

Hart registered three points (1-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists and two steals over 26 minutes during Tuesday's 121-111 loss to the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

Hart had another difficult showing offensively Tuesday. Through three appearances, he's shooting 22.2 percent from the field. A career 47.0 percent shooter in the regular season, Hart is obviously overdue for some positive regression. He has been effective elsewhere, averaging 7.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.0 steals per game.

Hart (back) is available with no minutes restrictions for Sunday's game against the Heat, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hart, who was trending toward playing, will suit up Sunday with no reported minutes restrictions for the first time this season. The wing tallied just two points and three assists in his season debut Friday but was impactful on the glass, hauling in 14 rebounds across 19 minutes. With Miles McBride (personal) unavailable, Hart is a candidate to slide into the starting five.

Hart (back) has been listed as probable to play in Sunday's game against the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

Hart is dealing with back spasms, which have bothered him since the preseason. However, he seems to be trending in the right direction after making his season debut against the Celtics on Friday. Hart finished with 14 rebounds, three assists and two points in 19 minutes off the bench against Boston.

Hart recorded two points (1-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt), 14 rebounds and three assists over 19 minutes during the Knicks' 105-95 win over the Celtics on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

A lingering back injury from the preseason prevented Hart from playing against the Cavaliers on Opening Night, but he was cleared to come off the bench Friday. He struggled with his shot and played just 19 minutes, but he made that time count by grabbing a game-high 14 boards. Hart should usurp Miles McBride in the starting lineup once the former's back injury is fully behind him.

Hart (back) will play Friday against the Celtics, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hart acknowledged that the back is still giving him issues, but he'll gut it out and play in Friday's game. He'll come off the bench, and given he's not yet 100 percent, he will likely have some minutes restrictions.
