Hart is out Wednesday against the Spurs due to left knee soreness, Jamie Hudson of KOIN 6 News Portland reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hart will miss a second straight game due to knee soreness. It's a tough hit for fantasy managers, as he was averaging 28.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.4 steals across his previous five appearances. Justise Winslow figures to see increased usage.

Hart will not be available for Monday night's game at Detroit, Blazers reporter Casey Holdahl reports.
EDGE Analysis
Playing on the second half of a back-to-back set, the Blazers will build in some rest for Hart, who saw 30 minutes of action in Sunday night's 31-point loss to the Pacers. Expect Hart to return for Wednesday's home matchup against the Spurs. Looking ahead, the Blazers have another back-to-back Friday and Saturday (both vs. HOU), so Hart could end up sitting out one of those contests, as well.

Hart recorded 26 points (11-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, four assists and two steals across 30 minutes during Sunday's 129-98 loss to the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
Hart supplied arguably his best shooting performance of the season, connecting on 84.6 percent of his 13 attempts. Also, since being dealt to Portland, Hart has shot an improved 36.0 percent from deep across 13 games. He shot 32.3 percent on three-point attempts in New Orleans. Hart is an underrated fantasy asset amid a career year.

Hart racked up 31 points (11-21 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 5-7 FT), seven rebounds and four assists across 38 minutes during Monday's 122-113 loss to the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
Hart didn't have a 30 point game all season prior to Saturday's 44-point explosion. However, he followed it up with another signature outing Monday. Hart is just a 33.3 percent shooter from beyond the arc, but he's connected on 10-of-19 attempts over his past two games. Hart's rest-of-season outlook with Portland suddenly has incredible upside.

Hart provided 44 points (15-21 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 8-8 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and four steals across 36 minutes during Saturday's 127-118 victory over Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Hart came into Saturday mired in an ugly slump during which he shot just 18.8 percent (6-of-32) over three games, but he looked like a completely different player against the Wizards. The 27-year-old enjoyed the most dynamic offensive performance of his career, easily surpassing his previous high of 30 points, which he set as a member of the Lakers back in 2018. Hart also made a season-best six three-pointers on nine attempts and rounded out his robust stat line with eight boards, six dimes and four steals. This is very likely to go down as Hart's best game of the campaign, but don't expect him to revert to his slump. He's shown more offensive aggressiveness since joining the Blazers on Feb. 8, posting at least 22 points in four of nine contests.

Hart will start Monday's game against Minnesota, Blazers radio host Jay Allen reports.
EDGE Analysis
As anticipated, Hart will return to the lineup after being held out of action Saturday against the Wolves. With Anfernee Simons (quad) sidelined Monday, Hart is easily the most accomplished scorer and playmaker in the Blazers' starting five.

Hart (rest) is not on the injury report ahead of Monday's game at Minnesota, Blazers reporter Casey Holdahl reports.
EDGE Analysis
With just over a month left in the regular season, the Blazers are beginning to kick their tanking strategy into high gear. Hart was held out of Saturday's game against Minnesota for rest purposes despite the fact that Portland hadn't played since Wednesday. After another off day Sunday, all indications are that Hart will be back in the starting five Monday night, but how many minutes he sees will be worth monitoring. After playing 37, 36 and 37 minutes, respectively, through his first three games in Portland, Hart has played only 27, 31 and 23 minutes in his subsequent three appearances.

Hart is out Saturday against Minnesota for rest purposes, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hart had appeared in each of the last six games, and he averaged 17.5 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 31.8 minutes per game during that time. Elijah Hughes, CJ Elleby and Ben McLemore should see increased run Saturday.

Hart supplied 12 points (5-11 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Thursday's 132-95 loss to the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Hart missed all five of his three-point attempts but still managed a respectable 5-for-11 shooting line from the field. The fifth-year pro snapped a string of three straight games with 20-plus points, though he tied for the third on the team in scoring in the lopsided loss. Hart should see plenty of court time over the second half of the campaign, and he is averaging 21.0 points, 5.3 boards, 4.3 assists and 2.8 three-pointers in four games with Portland thus far.
