EDGE Analysis

Hart accumulated 20 points (8-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Friday's 123-98 victory over Indiana.

EDGE Analysis

Hart has done a good job as a starter in the Knicks' first two games, racking up a combined 32 points, 14 rebounds and six assists against two difficult opponents in Boston and Indiana. The losses of Mitchell Robinson (ankle) and Precious Achiuwa (hamstring) have propelled Hart to a starting role, and he should maintain that position for at least the next couple of weeks. The uptick in minutes certainly benefits his fantasy prospects across all formats, as he's showing to be a capable scorer in addition to his traits as an above-average rebounder for the forward position.

Hart (rest) is expected to play and start in Friday's preseason finale against the Wizards, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

Hart will join the rest of New York's starters on the sidelines. They are all expected to be back in action during Friday's preseason finale against the Wizards.

Hart scored zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3PT) but added six rebounds, five assists, two steals and one block in 25 minutes during Wednesday's preseason victory over the Wizards.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Hart remained in the starting lineup Wednesday, a move that was facilitated following the Julius Randle trade. Hart was a real difference-maker down the stretch last season, taking advantage of injuries to other players. Although he is slated to begin the season as a starter, managers should temper their expectations, especially on the offensive end. With that said, his ability to grab out-of-position rebounds and compile assists and defensive stats make him a viable target in the later rounds of drafts.

Hart finished with 10 points (3-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and two steals over 37 minutes in Sunday's 130-109 loss to Indiana in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

EDGE Analysis

Hart once again gave all he had for New York in a winner-take-all battle, putting forth an all-around showing that included reaching double figures in scoring, ending two rebounds shy of the double-digit mark and adding a handful of assists as well as a team-high-tying pair of steals. Despite dealing with some injuries throughout the series against Indiana, Hart recorded at least 10 points and eight rebounds in five of the seven games in the series.

Hart (abdomen) is in the starting five for Sunday's Game 7 against the Pacers, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hart will fight through an abdominal strain he sustained Friday and will be joined by OG Anunoby (hamstring) in the starting lineup for Game 7. While it remains to be seen if Hart will have any physical limitations due to the injury, it seems he will get as many minutes as he can handle. He's generated a double-double four times in the series.
