5 Josh Hart SG

Hart finished with 30 points (9-15 FG, 7-9 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 115-100 victory over the Clippers.

Hart finished with a career-high 30 points including seven triples during Wednesday's final regular season fixture. His role on the team moving forward remains unclear but he has certainly given the coaching staff something to think about when deciding on their rotations. If you managed to add him over the final week, congratulations.

Hart offered 20 points (8-17 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and two steals across 40 minutes in a 105-99 loss to the Rockets on Tuesday.

Hart got off to a very slow start in the first quarter before picking it up, and he finished with the team lead in scoring on the night. The rookie logged another start at two-guard as part of the domino effect of both Kyle Kuzma (ankle) and Brandon Ingram (concussion) missing the contest, and he's likely to do the same in Wednesday's regular-season finale versus the Kings. The 23-year-old has now generated three consecutive 20-point efforts, shooting between 47.1 percent and 55.6 percent in those contests.

Hart pitched in 25 points (10-18 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist, two steals and two blocks across 41 minutes in Sunday's 112-97 loss to the Jazz.

Hart drew the start with both Kyle Kuzma (ankle) and Brandon Ingram (concussion) sidelined and thrived with the opportunity. The rookie fell just a point short of equaling a career high and posted his second straight 20-point effort overall. Hart has shot at least 50.0 percent in four of the six games he's played since returning from a hand injury, and he could potentially remain with the first unit over the final two games of the season if his aforementioned pair of teammates are held out.

Hart will enter the starting five for Sunday's matchup with the Jazz, Mike Trudell of Lakers.com reports.

The Lakers are set to be without the likes of Brandon Ingram (concussion), Lonzo Ball (knee) and Kyle Kuzma (ankle) on Sunday, so Hart will get the call to jump into the top unit. As a result, look for Hart to push for 30-plus minutes and an overall bump in usage, which makes him one of the more intriguing fantasy plays for Sunday's slate of games. In 20 previous starts this season, Hart has averaged 11.5 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.0 assists across 30.8 minutes.

Hart went for 20 points (6-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-7 FT) and 11 rebounds across 32 minutes in Friday's 113-96 loss to the Timberwolves.

Hart logged his third straight 30-minute plus workload, leading to his second double-double over the last five games. The rookie has double-digit rebounds in two straight, as well, and he should continue to be the recipient of solid run off the bench for the remaining three games of the regular season.
