Hart was initially listed as questionable with a high right ankle sprain. The 30-year-old shooting guard missed the last eight games with the injury. Hart could be on a minutes limit in his first game back Sunday and Miles McBride could remain in the starting lineup ahead of him.

After missing the last eight games with a high right ankle sprain, Hart could potentially return on Sunday. Miles McBride has performed well as his most recent replacement in the starting lineup. If Hart’s minutes are limited, the Knicks could leave McBride in the starting five for the time being.

Hart has been out since suffering a sprained right ankle during a Christmas Day win over the Cavaliers. However, he has been cleared for contact and is “very close” to a return to action, according to his head coach. Miles McBride has been the most recent replacement in the starting lineup, and he may have solid deep-league value after Hart returns.

Hart has been out since spraining his right ankle on Christmas Day against the Cavaliers. Based on the most recent timeline provided by the team, with the wing set to be re-evaluated on Friday, there may be a chance he plays during New York’s four-game road trip. Miles McBride played well as the fifth starter in Wednesday’s win over the Clippers and should retain that role.

Hart has missed New York’s last four games with a sprained right ankle, most recently sitting out Friday’s loss to the Hawks. He has resumed on-court activities and, based on the Knicks’ new timeline, will miss at least three more games. Following that, the Knicks begin a four-game road trip in Phoenix on January 9. Mohamed Diawara started the first three games that Hart missed, but Miles McBride received the nod on Friday.

Due to the sprained ankle he suffered during the Knicks’ Christmas Day victory over the Cavaliers, Hart did not travel for the Knicks’ three-game road trip. Friday’s game will be the fourth that he’s missed, with Mohamed Diawara likely remaining in the starting lineup. While Diawara went off for 18 points in Monday’s win over New Orleans, he did not offer much value two nights later against the Spurs.

Hart sprained his right ankle late in Thursday’s win over the Cavaliers and was already ruled out for Saturday’s game against the Hawks. He’ll also miss games against the Pelicans (Monday) and Spurs (Wednesday) before the Knicks return home. Mitchell Robinson has started alongside Karl-Anthony Towns before, and that may be the approach the Knicks take. Hart’s absence may also mean more minutes for Tyler Kolek, who has played well recently.

Hart exited early from Thursday’s game against Cleveland, and he will remain sidelined for at least one more game. Tyler Kolek, who has been excellent recently, was part of the closing lineup and could start against Atlanta. Miles McBride (ankle) is questionable and could take on extra minutes if he returns.

Hart was not on the court to finish Thursday’s comeback victory, as he sprained his right ankle on a drive to the basket early in the fourth quarter. The Knicks’ wing made his free throws and then limped back to the locker room after the team gave an intentional foul. Hart would not return, but he was on the bench to watch the Knicks complete their comeback. Tyler Kolek was part of the closing lineup, and he could take on an expanded role if Hart misses time.

For the first time since late November, Hart has recorded double-doubles in consecutive games. Against the Timberwolves, he matched his season-high in rebounds and recorded at least eight assists in a game for the fifth time this season. Even when his shots aren’t falling, Hart is good enough to provide reliable category league value. A top-50 player in eight-cat formats, he’s rostered in 77 percent of Yahoo! leagues.

Hart looks like he’ll be available after sitting out the Knicks’ first game of a back-to-back against the Pacers on Thursday. The 30-year-old shooting guard will be one of the Knicks’ main rotation players and might even find his way into the starting lineup.

Hart is one of three Knicks rotation players who will sit out the first game of the team’s back-to-back, with Karl-Anthony Towns and Mitchell Robinson being the others. Due to the absences in the frontcourt, there should be rotation minutes available to Guerschon Yabusele and Ariel Hukporti. Also, guard Jordan Clarkson could be moved into the starting lineup out of necessity.

Hart has been starting for a while now, and he hasn’t missed a game all season. With three starters questionable, New York could be shorthanded for this game. Hart’s absence would open the door for Jordan Clarkson to take on an extended role.

Hart simply couldn’t miss in this game. This was just his third 20-point game of the season, and he has shot at least 60 percent from the floor in each of those. All of them have come since Nov. 24, which is when he moved into the starting lineup. Hart’s return to the starting lineup was also a return to fantasy dominance for him. As long as that doesn’t change, Hart will be a fantasy stud.

While he didn’t shoot the ball as well as he did in Tuesday’s loss to the Celtics, Hart flirted with a triple-double against the Hornets. He finished two rebounds and two assists shy, but the complete stat line will please those who have Hart rostered in category leagues. After a slow start to the season, Hart is shooting 49.7 percent from the field, and he’s shot 14-of-29 from three over his last five games. At a minimum, he’s properly managing the finger injury that he aggravated just before the start of training camp.

Hart has scored at least 19 points in four straight games, and the overall value has made him one of the best options in fantasy basketball over this period. Over the past week, the Knicks forward has been a top-10 player in eight- and nine-cat formats, cracking the top-5 in the former. After a slow start to the season, in part due to finger and back injuries, Hart has locked into a comfortable role and flourished. He’s rostered in 81 percent of Yahoo! leagues, and that number may increase before the end of Week 7.

Hart played a pivotal role in this one as he remained sizzling-hot on the offensive end of the floor, eclipsing 19 points for the third consecutive game. He knocked down four of seven three-pointers and pulled down 12 rebounds to record his fifth double-double of the season. The Knicks will carry a five-game win streak into a road tilt on Tuesday against the Celtics before closing out a four-game week with matchup against the Hornets, Jazz and Magic.

On a night when Karl-Anthony Towns (9/10/4/0/1 with one three-pointer) and Jordan Clarkson (6/4/3) combined to shoot 4-of-21 from the field, Hart stepped up and gave the Knicks important offensive production. The move back into the starting lineup has been great for the versatile wing, who has totaled 41 points over the last two games. We’ll see what happens when OG Anunoby returns from his hamstring injury, but it may be more likely that Miles McBride returns to the bench than Hart.

Despite Mitchell Robinson (five rebounds, one assist, three steals and one blocked shot in 17 minutes) returning from an illness, Knicks head coach Mike Brown decided to stick with Hart and Miles McBride in the starting lineup. The move paid off, with Hart scoring 19 first-half points in his best offensive performance of the season. He didn’t do a whole lot after halftime, but the damage had been done. To say Hart managers will take the final stat line he recorded on Wednesday would be an understatement. We’ll see if Brown sticks with the same lineup on Friday when the Knicks host the Bucks.

With Landry Shamet (shoulder) joining OG Anunoby (hamstring) on the sideline, Hart made his first start of the season on Monday. And he did “Josh Hart” things in Brooklyn, recording a solid stat line that was only lacking in points and field-goal percentage. If Hart remains in the starting five, he’s capable of providing value on par with his excellent 2024-25 campaign. More should be learned about the severity of Shamet’s shoulder injury in the coming days.

After a slow start to the season due to back and finger injuries, Hart has looked more comfortable recently. He recorded his third double-double on Wednesday and has been a seventh-round player in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. While he isn’t starting for the injured OG Anunoby, the starter’s absence does raise Hart’s fantasy ceiling. While New York plays only one more game in Week 5, it will play four in Week 6. Hart is worth adding ahead of Saturday’s game against Orlando.

Hart finished one assist shy of a double-double, and that’s a category where he can provide added value while the Knicks await Jalen Brunson’s return from a sprained ankle. Hart’s averages have decreased due to his being moved to the bench, with the forward ranked outside the top-150 in nine-cat formats. However, Hart has been a top-100 player over the past two weeks. That’s why he is still rostered in 76 percent of Yahoo! leagues.

Despite dealing with a right hand injury that may be more serious than initially reported, Hart has looked like his usual self in the Knicks’ last two games. After scoring 14 points on 50 percent shooting in Sunday’s win over the Bulls, he recorded his first double-double of the season against the Wizards. Hart didn’t record any defensive stats on Monday, but he did dish out five assists and shoot 2-of-4 from beyond the arc. While he may not approach the heights of last season in terms of fantasy value, Hart can still be a solid option on a category-league roster.

Hart was initially questionable for Monday’s game, but he’ll be available to play without any restrictions. Look for him to hit the mid- to high-20s in minutes. Hart shot 50 percent from the field in Sunday’s win over the Bulls as he continues to deal with a right hand injury that includes nerve damage.

Hart is dealing with a left ankle sprain, though it’s unclear if this is a serious injury or maintenance on the second night of a back-to-back set. Hart has dealt with hand and back issues this season, so it would make sense for New York to be cautious with his availability. If Hart is unavailable, more playing time could be available for Guerschon Yabusele and Ariel Hukporti.

Hart had his most productive game of the season on Sunday, reaching double figures in points for the first time. While he only made one of his five three-point attempts, the 50 percent night from the field was an encouraging development. Before Sunday’s game, Hart revealed that in addition to the right ring finger injury he’s navigating, there is some nerve damage in the hand that occasionally leaves him without feeling in his pinky and middle fingers. Hart is playing through it, but the field-goal percentage may suffer. The Knicks play three games during Week 3, starting with the Wizards on Monday.

Not only has Hart been upgraded from probable to available, but he is no longer under a minutes restriction. The Knicks wing played 19 minutes on Friday, one shy of his restriction. With Miles McBride (personal) and Mitchell Robinson (ankle) unavailable, Hart will log significant minutes, whether he starts or comes off the bench.

Hart made his season debut on Friday, and while he only played 19 minutes, he was able to haul in 14 rebounds. With Mitchell Robinson (ankle) out, and both Miles McBride (personal) and Karl-Anthony Towns (quad) questionable, there is a path for Hart to play a much larger role on Sunday.

Hart made his season debut Friday against the Celtics after missing the Knicks’ opener on Wednesday with a back injury. The 30-year-old shooting guard struggled mightily from the field scoring just two points on eight shots. Hart more than made up for it by grabbing 14 rebounds in 19 minutes off the bench. While Hart was moved to the bench late in last year’s playoffs and the Knicks have a new coach in Mike Brown, he’s still a significant piece of the puzzle for the Knicks and his minutes should only increase from here.
