Hart (hamstring) is questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Raptors.
Hart left Wednesday's contest against the Jazz in the first quarter due to right hamstring soreness and is a question mark for Portland's next game. Justise Winslow (ankle) remains sidelined, so if Hart is also ruled out, Nassir Little would presumably see extended playing time against Toronto.

Trail Blazers' Josh Hart: Ends recent slide in production
Rotowire
Hart provided 13 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 33 minutes during Sunday's 121-112 loss to the Lakers.
Hart entered Sunday's game with averages of 7.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.5 three-pointers over his last six outings, but he cleared all of those statistical benchmarks in the loss. Though his performance offers some encouragement for fantasy managers in 12-team category and points leagues who might have been contemplating dropping him, Hart still doesn't look to be a reliable starting option during the Blazers' upcoming three-game week.
Hart logged four points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), six rebounds and four assists across 29 minutes during Tuesday's 122-113 loss to the Nuggets.
After failing to top double digits in the scoring column for the fourth time in his past five games while offering little other production on the stat sheet, Hart's fantasy value is clearly trending down. At this point, he's settled in as the fifth option on offense now that Portland's starting unit is at full strength, resulting in a season average of just 9.5 points per game. While he has been a top-100 fantasy player on a per-game basis in category leagues so far this season, his overall production has been dwindling slowly over the past couple of weeks. Despite his rebounding and steal numbers, Hart is hard to declare a must-roster player in 12-team standard leagues.
