EDGE Analysis

Hart remains one of the best all-around players for the Knicks, which he proved once again in Game 1 by making his presence felt on both ends of the floor.

This marks the third time Hart has recorded a double-double during the 2025 NBA playoffs.

EDGE Analysis

Hart (knee) isn't listed on the injury report for Saturday's Game 1 against the Pistons.

EDGE Analysis

Hart will return to game action after missing the Knicks' regular-season finale due to right knee injury management. Over his last five outings, the 30-year-old has averaged 12.0 points, 9.2 rebounds, 6.4 assists and 2.2 steals across 37.8 minutes per contest.

Hart and every New York starter not named Mikal Bridges sat out of the regular-season finale as a precaution. Hart was extremely durable in 2024-25, appearing in 77 games with averages of 13.6 points, 9.6 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.1 three-pointers in 37.6 minutes.

Hart (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Nets, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The only Knicks starter who's going to suit up for the regular-season finale is Mikal Bridges, who'll likely only play a few minutes to maintain his consecutive-games-played streak. Hart should be ready to go for the first-round matchup against the Pistons.

Hart (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

Hart could sit out Sunday's regular-season finale alongside the majority of the Knicks' starters. If Hart is ruled out, Landry Shamet, Pacome Dadiet and MarJon Beauchamp are all candidates to receive increased playing time.
