Hart generated 15 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block across 31 minutes in Tuesday's 112-93 win over the Suns.

EDGE Analysis

Hart continues to thrive in his starting opportunity while Lonzo Ball (knee) remains out, as he's now posted three straight double-doubles. Hart has shot a blistering 71.4 percent from the field during those contests, a tally includes an impressive 61.5 percent success rate from distance. Coupled with his production on the glass, Hart is rewarding savvy owners who nabbed him off the wire earlier in the season and those who've deployed him as a DFS play in recent games. Moreover, given Kentavious Caldwell-Pope's extensive shooting struggles at two-guard, it's plausible that Hart could retain a first-unit role in his stead when Ball returns to action at point guard.

Hart finished with 14 points (5-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and two steals in 39 minutes during Sunday's 108-104 victory over the Thunder.

EDGE Analysis

Hart saw a team-high 39 minutes and put up his second consecutive double-double. That makes back-to-back strong games for Hart and he continues to push his case for more regular minutes. Although he is listed as a guard, he is playing more of a small forward role while allowing Brandon Ingram to facilitate the offense. With the Lakers looking to potentially make some moves before the trade deadline, there is a chance Hart is afforded the opportunity to prove his metal to those that matter. He is more of a deep league option at the moment but is worth keeping an eye on in the shallower formats.

Hart scored 15 points (5-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT) while adding 14 rebounds, two assists and a steal in 35 minutes during Friday's 102-99 win over the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

With Lonzo Ball (knee) still sidelined, Hart got another look in the starting lineup for the Lakers and didn't disappoint, collecting his third double-double of the season. Despite lining up at point guard, the rookie isn't much of a distributor -- his career high so far is only four assists -- but his ability to contribute on the glass frees up players like Brandon Ingram to take on a point-forward role in the offense. Expect coach Luke Walton to continue mixing and matching in his backcourt while Ball is out, but on nights when Hart gets the nod, he's capable of providing strong value to DFS rosters at a bargain price.

Hart will start at point guard in Friday's game against the Nets, Mike Trudell of Lakers.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hart is replacing Tyler Ennis in the starting lineup. Coach Luke Walton didn't offer any explanation for the shift, but Hart figures to see a slight minutes increase as long as he remains a starter. It's unclear if Hart will remain in the starting lineup after Friday's game or shift back to his bench role.

Hart will shift back to a bench role for Tuesday's game against the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

Hart started the last two games with Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (Achilles) out, averaging 25.0 minutes during that stretch. However, Caldwell-Pope is healthy and will rejoin the top unit, which sends Hart back into a bench role. While Hart will likely see a few less minutes with the demotion, Lonzo Ball (knee) remains out, which should still afford him some extra backcourt minutes Tuesday.

Hart will start at shooting guard Friday against the Pacers, Bill Oram of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hart will replace the injured Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (Achilles) at the two. Lonzo Ball (knee) is also sidelined, so with the Lakers thin in the backcourt, the Villanova product figures to be in line for a healthy workload.

Hart will move back to a bench role for Wednesday's game against the Thunder, Erik Horne of the Oklahoman reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hart picked up the spot start on Monday with Brandon Ingram (ankle) sidelined, posting 16 points, three rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block across 32 minutes. However, Ingram is now healthy and is rejoining the top unit, which sends Hart back to the bench. With the demotion, Hart should see a sizable decrease in his role and could see his minutes drop into the teens or low 20s.

Hart will pick up the spot start for Monday's game against the Grizzlies, Mike Trudell of Lakers.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Lakers are set to be without both Lonzo Ball (knee) and Brandon Ingram (ankle) Monday, so Tyler Ennis and Hart are set to jump into the starting lineup in their place. After seeing just 12 and 13 minutes, respectively, over the last two games, Hart should be able to push for a workload in the mid-to-upper 20s while working with the top unit. In seven previous starts this season, Hart has averaged 11.9 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists across 30.5 minutes.

Hart posted 26 points (9-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-8 FT), six rebounds, an assist and a steal in 37 minutes during Sunday's 148-142 loss to the Rockets.

EDGE Analysis

With Kentavious Caldwell-Pope still unable to leave California, Hart once again stepped in and played well in Pope's absence. While Pope will soon be able to travel, Hart has earned himself more playing time, a trend that could continue if Lonzo Ball continues to struggle with injury. Hart is a worthwhile stash for those with room on their bench, as rumors surrounding Jordan Clarkson might result in starting role for Hart if he ends up on the trading block.

Hart will get the start in the Lakers' backcourt Friday versus the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

Hart returned to the bench in the Lakers' previous game after getting the start Monday. With Lonzo Ball (shoulder) sidelined, he should see a healthy workload as a starter in Friday's game.
