Hart (knee) is out Friday against the Pistons, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Right knee tendinitis will keep Hart off the court Friday, and it'll be his first missed game since Feb. 12. With a myriad of players injured for the Lakers, coach Luke Walton will have to dig deep into his bench.

Hart is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Pistons due to right knee tendinitis.

EDGE Analysis

This is the second straight game that Hart has been listed as questionable with right knee tendinitis, but he ended up being active and playing 28 minutes against the Raptors on Thursday. Given that this is the second game of a back-to-back, the Lakers could exercise caution with Hart this time around, but the team likely won't update his status until closer to tip-off.

EDGE Analysis

Right knee tendinitis put Hart's status for Thursday in jeopardy, but he's feeling good to go after working through some morning activities. Over the past five games, he's averaging 8.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.0 assist across 29.4 minutes.

Hart is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Raptors with right knee tendinitis.

EDGE Analysis

Hart has battled the issue on and off for much of the season, and the knee has apparently flared up in the wake of Tuesday's win over the Bulls. Look for a more definitive update at shootaround Thursday morning.

Hart will come off the bench Saturday against the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Luke Walton will give Kentavious Caldwell-Pope the start Saturday as injuries pile up for the Lakers. It's unclear if this will be a permanent move for the remainder of the season.

Hart delivered seven points (2-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds and two assists across 39 minutes in the Lakers' 115-99 loss to the Nuggets on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Hart drew the start for Kyle Kuzma (ankle), but he generated very modest production despite playing a team-high amount of minutes. The second-year guard is capable of producing a double-digit point tally any time he takes enough shots, but his offensive usage has been up and down throughout the season. Hart is expected to head back to the bench as soon as Kuzma is healthy enough to make his return, which could come as soon as Saturday's game against the Celtics.

Hart will start Wednesday's game against the Nuggets, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hart will start in place of Kyle Kuzma, who's out with an ankle injury. Across 21 starts this season, Hart's averaging 9.9 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 31.7 minutes.

Hart supplied 17 points (6-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and one block in 30 minutes Monday in the Lakers' 113-105 loss to the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

Hart cleared 25 minutes for the second straight game, with the absences of Brandon Ingram (shoulder) and Lance Stephenson (toe) allowing him to reclaim a more prominent role on the wing. Coach Luke Walton expressed optimism after Monday's contest that Ingram would be ready to go for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets, but noted that Kyle Kuzma would likely be doubtful for that contest after tweaking his ankle late in the fourth quarter. Kuzma's probable absence would likely be enough for Hart to maintain the enhanced role he's enjoyed over the past couple games.

Hart played 10 minutes Wednesday in the Lakers' 125-119 win over the Pelicans and contributed zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one assist.

EDGE Analysis

After sitting out three times in a four-game span due to a knee injury, Hart has been available off the bench for each of the Lakers' last four contests. Coach Luke Walton has called upon Hart in each of those games, but the second-year player barely seems to be clinging to a rotation spot. He's played just 19 combined minutes the past two games, failing to score in either while offering limited production in other categories.

Hart (knee) is available for Thursday's matchup against the Rockets, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Hart will be able to take the floor after missing three of the past four games. His role has fluctuated throughout the season, and he hasn't scored double-digit points since Jan. 17 against the Thunder.
