Hart had 23 points (8-17 FG, 5-12 3PT, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block during New Orleans' 123-126 loss against Houston on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Hart made the most of his first start to the season, although this trend might not last for long since he should return to the bench once Jrue Holiday gets back to the starting lineup. Even if he comes off the bench he might provide decent value, as he provides decent rebouding and defensive numbers while scoring at least 15 points in each of his three appearances so far. New Orleans play against Golden State on Monday.

Hart will get the start Saturday against the Rockets, Pels' studio host Daniel Sallerson reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Pels will be without Jrue Holiday on Saturday, so Hart will move into the lineup at one guard spot next to Lonzo Ball. Hart played 26 minutes in the Pelicans' last game Friday night, finishing with 15 points and nine rebounds. He has 19 boards through the team's first two games.

Hart scored 16 points (5-9 FG, 1-5 3PT, 5-6 FT) to go along with nine rebounds and two steals during the Pelicans' 116-123 loss against the Mavericks on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Hart has come off the bench in New Orleans' first two games but has produced at a high level, posting at least 15 points and/or nine boards in each contest. The former Lakers guard has also scored at an efficient rate so far -- 50.0 percent from the field and 40.0 percent from three -- while logging heavy minutes, meaning he should see enough time on the floor to be a relevant fantasy contributor regardless if he starts or not and considering his scoring totals should eventually reduce on a long-term picture.

Hart supplied 15 points (4-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, and one block in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 130-122 overtime loss to the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
Hart came off the bench but saw the third-most minutes on the team. Hart can defend across multiple positions, rebound, hit outside shots, and attack the basket. As such, he's likely to continue earning decent minutes going forward, even as a reserve.

Hart had 17 points (6-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-6 FT), seven rebounds, two steals, and one assist in 25 minutes during Friday's 117-116 win over the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
Hart hasn't been earning a ton of minutes here in the preseason. However, the early season absence of Zion Williamson (knee) could result in Hart earning an uptick in minutes, as he has shown an ability to defend bigger players and sink outside shots.

Hart will start at shooting guard during Friday's preseason contest against the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
Jrue Holiday is dealing with a quad injury, so Hart is getting the start in his stead. In two preseason games, Hart is averaging 15.4 fantasy points across 17.9 minutes.

Hart (knee) turned in 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt), four rebounds and three assists across 19 minutes during the Pelicans' 127-125 preseason win over the Bulls on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Hart was able to shake off the knee soreness that had plagued him following the preseason opener and put together a solid showing off the bench. The third-year guard is expected to play a key role in the backcourt rotation after coming over as one of the lesser-ballyhooed pieces of the blockbuster trade with the Lakers. The 24-year-old Hart will particularly look to prop his efficiency back up after seeing his shooting percentage drop to 40.7 percent last season.

Hart (knee) is listed as available to play in Wednesday's tilt against Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Hart was banged up in Monday's preseason opener and entered Wednesday's tilt against the Bulls with soreness in his right knee. Clearly, the issue isn't too major, though Hart could still see a decrease to the 16 minutes he saw in the opener if coach Alvin Gentry decides to be cautious.

Hart is listed as questionable for Wednesday's exhibition game against the Bulls due to knee soreness, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hart's knee is presumably reacting to Monday's preseason opener. The Pelicans are unlikely to have him suit up unless he is completely healthy given the nature of the game. The 24-year-old is looking to earn a role providing depth at guard in the Pelicans' rotation.

Hart (knee) was part of a package sent to the Pelicans on Saturday in exchange for Anthony Davis, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hart, who's recovering from season-ending knee surgery, was sent alongside Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, the 2019 4th overall pick and two future Lakers picks in exchange for all-star center Anthony Davis. The Villanova product has been a steady contributor over his first two seasons in the NBA, managing to produce 7.8 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.4 threes in 25.6 minutes per game a year ago. Depending on who the Pelicans add in the upcoming draft, there's a good chance that Hart could be the starting Pelicans small forward in 2019-20.
