3 Josh Hart SF

Hart went for 23 points (7-14 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 14 rebounds, six assists, one steal and one block in 36 minutes during Thursday's loss to the Magic.

Hart made the most of his two starting opportunities in the final two games of the regular season, as he racked up 26 points, 24 rebounds, seven assists and three steals in those two contests. He ends the 2019-20 regular season with averages of 10.1 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 27.0 minutes per game across 65 appearances.

Hart (knee) will play and start in Thursday's season finale against the Magic, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

Hart came into the contest as a game-time call, but as evidenced by this news, he won't miss the final game of the season. With Jrue Holiday (elbow), Zion Williamson (knee) and Brandon Ingram (knee) already ruled out, Hart could end up getting plenty of action if he sees meaningful minutes.

Hart is questionable for Thursday's seeding game finale against the Magic due to right knee soreness.

With Jrue Holiday (elbow), Zion Williamson (knee) and Brandon Ingram (knee) already ruled out, Hart could end up seeing plenty of action if he does take the court. If he's out, more minutes should funnel to E'Twaun Moore, Frank Jackson and plenty of other backcourt and wing options.

Hart will start Tuesday's matchup against the Kings.

With Brandon Ingram (knee) out, Hart will draw his 15th start of the season. In his previous nods, he's averaged 12.2 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.4 steals in 31.9 minutes.

Hart registered 15 points (5-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and seven rebounds in 25 minutes off the bench during Monday's 109-99 win over the Grizzlies.

Hart had scored in double digits just three times in his last 10 games dating back to Feb. 23, but he delivered a strong performance here. The third-year man has scored in double digits in two of he Pelicans' three games since the restart, though his playing time remains a bit inconsistent.

Hart (face) collected seven points (2-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 20 minutes during Monday's 124-103 scrimmage win over the Bucks.

Hart rejoined the rotation after missing Saturday's scrimmage against the Nuggets following a minor dental procedure. He's proven himself to be an excellent utility player for the Pelicans, filling in at various positions and accepting his wide range of roles. Although Hart can be somewhat inconsistent -- which is partly a product of the team's depth when at full strength -- he does enough to earn a sizable chunk of minutes more often than not.

Hart is not expected to play in Saturday's scrimmage versus the Nuggets after undergoing a minor dental procedure.

Hart was also not present at Saturday morning's shootaround. The situation is not considered serious, and barring any setbacks, he should be good to go for Thursday's bubble opener against the Jazz.

Hart generated 19 points (6-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block in 28 minutes off the bench during New Orleans' 110-104 victory over Miami.

Hart's 19 points represented his highest total since mid-December and his third-best showing of the season. His playing time has fluctuated greatly, but he is a consistent rebounder for a guard and the kind of player that could occupy a fantasy roster spot over a struggling forward. Hart now has nine double-doubles this year.

Hart contributed seven points (3-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), six rebounds and three assists in 22 minutes during Sunday's loss to the Lakers.

Interestingly, after J.J. Redick (hamstring) went down in their last outing, Hart somehow saw even fewer minutes than normal, with E'Twaun Moore receiving the bulk of Redick's vacated court time. It may be a short-lived replacement decision, but Hart only saw 22 minutes in this one, which is significantly less than the 27.7 minutes per game he's averaging on the season. Nevertheless, Hart has seen his fantasy value surge with the Pelicans, climbing into standard-league relevance with career-highs virtually across the board.

Hart is expected to start Saturday against the Pacers, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

Brandon Ingram (ankle) is unavailable Saturday, opening a spot in the starting five for the Pelicans. Hart has started 11 games this season and averaged 12.5 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists over 33.0 minutes in those contests.

Hart produced eight points (3-9 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven boards, four assists, three steals and one block in 29 minutes off the bench Tuesday in the Pelicans' 120-108 loss to the Bucks.

A number of the Pelicans' supporting-cast players have noticed role reductions following Zion Williamson's season debut Jan. 22, but Hart hasn't been hurt too much. Though he's only reached 30 minutes in one of the Pelicans' seven games with Williamson, Hart is still averaging 10.0 points, 8.0 boards, 1.4 assists, 1.6 three-pointers, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks over that stretch while shooting 43.9 percent from the field and 90 percent from the free-throw line. That's enough to keep him in consideration for a roster spot in most 12-team leagues.

Hart had 16 points (5-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 30 minutes during Sunday's 117-109 loss to the Rockets.

Hart has logged consecutive double-doubles and now sits at seven through 43 appearances this season. He's already on the verge of matching his career high in that category (eight), which he managed in his rookie campaign. Sporting career bests in scoring, rebounding, threes, steals and minutes, Hart has proven himself to be a solid option in deep leagues.

Hart went off for 15 points (6-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block in 28 minutes during Friday's 113-106 loss to the Nuggets.

Hart had been listed as probable due to a sore left ankle and was able to give it a go as expected. He earned the fourth-most minutes for the Pelicans for the second straight contest and turned in a terrific stat line in this one, posting his fifth double-double through 39 appearances this season. Hart has surpassed his double-double total from last season, and he has a decent chance to top his career-best eight double-doubles, which he accomplished as a rookie back in 2017-18. With that being said, there will be no shortage of competition for playing time, especially if New Orleans stays relatively healthy in the second half of the campaign and doesn't enter sell mode at the trade deadline.

Hart (ankle) will play Friday against the Nuggets.

As expected, Hart will play through a sore left ankle. This month, he's averaging 10.1 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.2 steals in 30.1 minutes. However, the return of Zion Williamson could cut into Hart's playing time moving forward.

Hart (ankle) is considered probable for Friday's game against the Nuggets.

All signs point to Hart playing through the issue, which he's been battling for several days now. The Villanova product saw 25 minutes of action Wednesday night, finishing with 10 points, five rebounds, one assist and one block.

Hart provided 10 points (3-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 121-117 loss to the Spurs.

Hart had been listed as questionable due to a sore left ankle but was able to take the court. He earned the fourth-most minutes on the team and managed a decent line, but Hart may have a hard time earning such significant minutes going forward with New Orleans being closer to full strength.

Hart (ankle) will be available for Wednesday's game against San Antonio.

Hart will take the court despite nursing left ankle soreness he initially picked up in Monday's game against Memphis. The 24-year-old wing's having a successful season so far and is posting averages of 10.7 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.1 steals in 28.5 minutes per game.

Hart is considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Spurs due to a sore left ankle, Andrew Lopez of ESPN reports.

Hart is a new addition to the injury report, but it comes after he was limited to 17 minutes in Monday's win over Memphis. The Pels will wait to see how he feels Wednesday morning before updating his status.

Hart had 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 3PT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 17 minutes off the bench during Monday's 126-116 win at Memphis.

Hart returned to the bench after starting seven straight games and scored in double digits for the fifth time in his last nine contests. He can fill the stat sheet on any given night due to his ability to impact the game on both ends of the court even if he doesn't score much, but he needs to play a steady amount of minutes to have upside outside of deeper formats.

Hart will come off the bench Monday against the Grizzlies, Chris Herrington of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

Hart will shift back to a reserve role with Jrue Holiday set to return from a seven-game absence. As the Pelicans continue to get healthier, Hart -- who is averaging 10.1 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 steals in 32.1 minutes per game this month -- could be one of the players whose minutes and production are most affected.
