Hart (ankle) will not play in Tuesday's game against the 76ers, Pelicans broadcaster Erin Summers reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hart played through a sprained left ankle Monday against the Pacers to finish with 22 points, 10 rebounds, two assists and a steal, but the Pelicans will hold him out Tuesday -- likely on a precautionary basis -- as they finish out a back-to-back set. Jonas Valanciunas (rest), Devonte' Graham (ankle) and Brandon Ingram (ankle) will also sit.

Hart (ankle) ended with 22 points (6-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 9-9 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Monday's 117-113 win over Indiana.

EDGE Analysis

Hart finished second on New Orleans in both points and rebounds in the victory. He left the game briefly in the second half with an ankle injury but returned to polish off his fourth double-double in January. The fifth-year pro has bolstered his fantasy value considerably by notching double-digit points in 18 straight games since the start of December. In addition to his typically solid rebounding, Hart has taken his game to new levels this season by posting career-best per-game averages of 13.5 points and 4.2 assists.

Hart suffered a left ankle sprain during Monday's game against the Pacers and is questionable to return, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hart appeared to suffer the injury during the second half and went to the locker room shortly after. Tomas Satoransky could pick up extra minutes if Hart is unable to return.

Hart ended with 13 points (6-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-3 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and one steal across 39 minutes during Monday's 104-92 loss to the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

Hart has scored in double figures in 16 straight appearances and is averaging 15.8 points, 9.0 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 1.0 steals during that stretch. The fifth-year pro is in the midst of a breakout campaign and continues to stuff the stat sheet on a nightly basis.

Hart logged 21 points (8-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 128-125 victory over the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

Hart picked right up where he left off in the victory, continuing what has been a breakout season thus far. Known as an elite rebounder from the guard position, Hart has added some consistent defensive production and an expanded offensive game. When put together, we have a pretty clear must-roster player across every format.

Hart (personal) will be available to play Tuesday against the Timberwolves, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hart wasn't with the team for Sunday's loss to the Raptors due to what is believed to be related to a COVID-19 contact-tracing concern. However, the issue appears to be resolved and the Villanova product will be able to return to the court Tuesday. On the season, Hart is averaging 12.9 points, 7.4 rebounds and 4.4 assists in 32.8 minutes.

Hart is not with the team ahead of Sunday's game against the Raptors.

EDGE Analysis

A reason for Hart's absence is a contact tracing issue. In his absence, more minutes should be available for Garrett Temple, Naji Marshall and other wings.

Hart accumulated 15 points (4-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 11 rebounds and five assists in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 123-110 loss to the Suns.

EDGE Analysis

Hart has been on a tear over his past 12 appearances, registering at least four assists in each and compiling six double-doubles with points and rebounds. There have been points in which the Pelicans have been missing more players during this stretch, but it's encouraging him to see still stuff the stat sheet when nearly the entire team is healthy.

Hart (ankle) tallied 14 points (5-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-9 FT), 11 rebounds, nine assists, one steal and one block across 36 minutes Saturday in the Pelicans' 136-113 loss to the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

The poor shooting from the free-throw line and the field took away some of the shine from what was nearly his first career triple-double, but Hart has been much more efficient from both areas on the season (76.1 FT%, 52.2 FG%). More than anything, fantasy managers who have been riding the wave of his big production of late were likely just happy to see him back in the lineup after he sat out the Pelicans' previous game Tuesday against the Cavaliers due to an ankle injury. Since missing the first three contests of December with a left knee issue, Hart has been a tremendous fantasy producer, particularly in points leagues. In his nine appearances dating back to the start of last month, Hart is averaging 16.2 points, 9.3 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 1.3 three-pointers and 1.1 steals.
