Hart registered 15 points (4-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT), eight rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 119-104 victory over the Hornets.
Hart continues his jack-of-all-trades campaign after being elevated to the starting lineup, averaging 17.0 points, 10.3 rebounds, 6.7 assists, 2.2 steals, 0.5 blocks and 2.3 threes on a surprising 43.8 percent clip across 36.7 minutes in his six starts this season. His value to this Knicks roster has been immeasurable especially with OG Anunoby (hamstring) and Landry Shamet (shoulder) sidelined, and Hart figures to retain a prominent role even after one or both of the aforementioned players return due to his tremendous production.

Knicks' Josh Hart: Fills stat sheet Friday
Rotowire
Hart ended Friday's 118-109 victory over the Bucks with 19 points (5-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 15 rebounds, seven assists and three steals over 40 minutes.
Hart wasn't sharp with his shot and struggled to take advantage of his looks from beyond the arc, but the veteran forward stepped up and delivered an excellent all-around showing. Hart finished just three assists away from recording a triple-double, and the 15-rebound haul was his best output of the campaign in that category. He's recorded double-digit rebounds six times this season and already notched a triple-double, accomplishing that feat in a win over the Heat on Nov. 14.

Knicks' Josh Hart: Starting Monday
Rotowire
Hart will start Monday's game against the Nets, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.
With Mitchell Robinson (illness) and Landry Shamet (shoulder) joining OG Anunoby (hamstring) on the sidelines, Miles McBride and Josh Hart will enter the starting lineup. The 30-year-old forward has scored in double figures in five straight games, averaging 12.8 points, 6.8 rebounds and 5.6 assists in 29.0 minutes per contest during that span.

Knicks' Josh Hart: Double-double off bench
Rotowire
Hart accumulated 16 points (5-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 30 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 113-111 victory over Dallas.
The double-double was his third of the season in 13 games, including one triple-double. Hart has exclusively come off the bench so far in 2025-26 and hasn't been seeing his usual hefty workload, but he's played at least 30 minutes in four of the last five games while averaging 12.0 points, 6.8 assists, 6.6 boards, 1.4 steals and 1.2 threes in 29.2 minutes a contest.

Knicks' Josh Hart: Near double-double in loss
Rotowire
Hart racked up 14 points (6-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, nine assists, one block and two steals over 34 minutes during Monday's 115-113 loss to the Heat.
While Hart did not join the starting lineup due to the absence of OG Anunoby (hamstring), the former will still see an increase in usage, and he has now logged back-to-back games with at least nine assists. While six turnovers can be a bit concerning, turbulence from suddenly heightened usage is expected, as Hart essentially operated as one of the primary facilitators due to the absence of Jalen Brunson (ankle).

Rotowire
Hart notched eight points (2-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight assists, four rebounds and two steals across 30 minutes during Tuesday's 133-120 victory over the Grizzlies.
Hart saw 30 minutes for the first time this season, dishing out a season-best eight assists. After a slow start, Hart is beginning to round into form, averaging 12.6 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.4 assists per contest over the past five games. Now would be the time to add him if he is still available in your league.

Rotowire
Hart finished Sunday's 134-98 win over Brooklyn with 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal over 21 minutes.
Hart has been an important piece off the bench for New York and is on a streak of scoring 10-plus points in four consecutive games. In those four games, Hart is averaging 13.8 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 0.5 steals and 2.0 threes made, which is terrific production following his rather slow start to the season.

Knicks' Josh Hart: Logs first double-double of season
Rotowire
Hart registered 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt), 10 rebounds and five assists over 26 minutes during the Knicks' 119-102 win over the Wizards on Monday.
Hart was cleared to play Monday after initially being listed as questionable due to a sprained left ankle. It didn't seem to bother him too much, as he led the bench with 26 minutes en route to his first double-double of the season. Hart started in all 77 regular-season games for the Knicks last year, but he has come off the bench in each of his six outings and appears to be destined for a sixth-man role for the 2025-26 campaign. He is averaging 6.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 0.7 steals over 23.5 minutes per game to open the season.

Knicks' Josh Hart: Will play Monday
Rotowire
Hart (ankle) will play in Monday's game against the Wizards, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
After logging 26 minutes in Sunday's win over Chicago, Hart will shed his questionable tag due to a sprained left ankle and suit up in the second leg of New York's back-to-back set. Over five regular-season appearances, the 30-year-old forward has averaged 5.0 points, 6.6 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 23.0 minutes per game off the bench.

Knicks' Josh Hart: Questionable for Monday
Rotowire
Hart (ankle) is questionable to play Monday against the Wizards.
Hart played 26 minutes in Sunday's win over the Bulls but is now in danger of missing the second leg of New York's back-to-back set. With Mitchell Robinson (ankle) already ruled out, it is likely Guerschon Yabusele plays a more prominent role Monday.

Knicks' Josh Hart: Logs 15 minutes Friday
Rotowire
Hart amassed zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 15 minutes during Friday's 135-125 loss to the Bulls.
Hart hit rock bottom in the loss, failing to score in arguably the worst performance of his career. With Mitchell Robinson returning to action, the path to minutes for Hart just got even murkier. Despite coming off a breakout season, the current trajectory for Hart makes it hard to make a case for him being a must-roster player.

Knicks' Josh Hart: Muted performance in loss
Rotowire
Hart registered three points (1-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists and two steals over 26 minutes during Tuesday's 121-111 loss to the Bucks.
Hart had another difficult showing offensively Tuesday. Through three appearances, he's shooting 22.2 percent from the field. A career 47.0 percent shooter in the regular season, Hart is obviously overdue for some positive regression. He has been effective elsewhere, averaging 7.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.0 steals per game.

Knicks' Josh Hart: Likely to play Sunday
Rotowire
Hart (back) has been listed as probable to play in Sunday's game against the Heat.

Knicks' Josh Hart: Grabs 14 boards in season debut
Rotowire
Hart (back) recorded two points (1-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt), 14 rebounds and three assists over 19 minutes during the Knicks' 105-95 win over the Celtics on Friday.
A lingering back injury from the preseason kept Hart from playing in Wednesday's season-opening win over the Cavaliers, but the veteran forward returned to action for the Knicks' second game off the bench. While coming off the bench, Hart handled a sub-20-minute role but provided plenty of energy during his time on the court, finishing with a game-high rebound total. The Knicks may continue to keep Hart in a sixth-man role moving forward, but he could see at least a slight uptick in playing time as he becomes further removed from the back injury.

Hart (back) will play Friday against the Celtics, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
Hart acknowledged that the back is still giving him issues, but he'll gut it out and play in Friday's game. He'll come off the bench, and given he's not yet 100 percent, he will likely have some minutes restrictions.

Hart (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's season opener against the Cavaliers, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Hart continues to deal with a back issue that has kept him out of practice this week. The Villanova product has been dealing with the issue since Oct. 2. Hart is doing on-court work but hasn't progressed to scrimmaging, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports. The team will likely pivot to Pacome Dadiet and Landry Shamet to help pick up the slack.

Knicks' Josh Hart: Misses another practice
Rotowire
Hart (back) did not practice Tuesday, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
Hart has been dealing with a lingering back issue since the beginning of October and has yet to log a full practice. The Knicks will release their injury report Tuesday evening ahead of their matchup against Cleveland on Wednesday, but for now, it sounds like a questionable tag is the most optimistic designation his fantasy managers can expect. For what it's worth, coach Mike Brown sounded pretty pessimistic about Hart's chances of playing.

Knicks' Josh Hart: Absent from practice
Rotowire
Hart (back) did not practice Monday, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.
Hart missed the majority of the preseason with this lingering back issue. Coach Mike Brown didn't reveal Hart's status for Opening Night against the Cavaliers on Wednesday, but the forward sounds questionable at best. If Hart is unable to play, guys like Jordan Clarkson, Miles McBride and Guerschon Yabusele could be more involved.
