Hart (kneecap) is active for Thursday's game against the Clippers, Matthew reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hart didn't miss any game time due to his injury but was questionable entering Thursday's game. He'll come off the bench and figure to see his typical role for the team.

Hart is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Clippers with left knee patellar tendinitis.

EDGE Analysis

Hart's presence on the injury report doesn't come as a major surprise after the second-year player first complained off knee soreness during a practice over the weekend. He's been able to play in the Lakers' subsequent two games but hasn't been particularly effective, tallying 14 points on 6-for-14 shooting from the field to go with five boards, three assists and three blocks across 52 minutes. Even if he ends up taking the court Thursday, it's difficult to deploy him with much confidence in DFS contests.

Hart (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against the 76ers, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hart had to be taken out of Sunday's contest due to knee tendinitis, but even after failing to practice Monday, he's been given the green light to take the court Tuesday night. Hart hasn't been much of a scoring threat of late, averaging 6.2 points over his previous six matchups.

Hart (knee) did not practice Monday, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Hart was withheld from Monday's session due to knee tendinitis that cropped up over the weekend. While coach Luke Walton said he's hopeful Hart will play Tuesday against the 76ers, the Lakers will wait until closer to tip-off before determining his status.

Hart will come off the bench Sunday against Phoenix, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was previously reported that Hart would join the starting lineup with Kyle Kuzma (hip) out of the mix, but it's Michael Beasley who will join the first unit. Hart could still be in line for an uptick in minutes as the Lakers continue to deal with injuries.

Hart will enter the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Suns, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Kyle Kuzma (hip) sidelined, Hart will draw the start at shooting guard, likely bumping Kentavious Caldwell-Pope to small forward and Brandon Ingram to power forward. Hart totaled just six points in his last start Monday against Golden State, so he'll search for a better result Sunday.

Hart didn't do contact work during Saturday's practice as a result of knee soreness, but he will play Sunday against the Suns, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hart has emerged from Thursday's loss to the Timberwolves with knee soreness. He's struggled over the past three games, scoring 6.0 points per contest on 38.9 percent shooting while adding just 3.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists across 22.3 minutes. The sophomore will play Sunday, but it seems unlikely Hart will be at 100 percent.

Hart started and contributed six points (2-2 FG, 2-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across 20 minutes Monday in the Lakers' 130-111 loss to the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

The Lakers added another player to their injured list in Lonzo Ball (ankle), with his absence creating an opening in the starting five for Hart. The appointment to the top unit didn't translate to any bump in Hart's production, however, as he saw meager usage while running into foul trouble during his time on the court. Los Angeles is expected to get point guard Rajon Rondo (hand) back for Thursday's game against the Timberwolves, so there's a decent possibility Hart moves back to the bench for that contest.

Hart will move into the starting lineup for Monday's game against Warriors, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Lonzo Ball out four-to-six weeks with an ankle injury, Josh Hart will fill his void in the starting five. Hart, who's averaging 27.3 minutes per game on the season, will likely see an increased role in the starting five. For now, it seems as though Hart will continue to start in Ball's absence.

Hart played 22 minutes and finished with two points (1-1 FG), four rebounds and two steals Tuesday in the Lakers' 107-100 win over the Bulls.

EDGE Analysis

After a few lackluster performances in a row, Hart was moved to the bench prior to the contest, opening up a starting spot for Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. The veteran swingman made the most of the appointment with 17 points (4-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 8-10 FT), four rebounds, two steals and one assist in 31 minutes, leaving little run left over for Hart. Now coming off the bench and likely to see his playing time take an even greater hit if LeBron James (groin) is cleared to play next week, Hart's fantasy value is trending downward fast.
