Josh Hart Returning Versus Boston
Josh Hart (knee) will play on Sunday against Boston. Hart missed the last two games because of a knee injury and was listed as questionable heading into this contest. But Hart will suit up. OG Anunoby (foot) is also good to go, so Precious Achiuwa and Miles McBride will return to their bench roles, decreasing both of their fantasy ceilings. As far as Hart is concerned, he's had the best year of his career, averaging 14.7 points, 9.6 rebounds, 5.7 assists, and 1.5 steals, making him a must-start in any fantasy format.

Josh Hart Back In Knicks Lineup Saturday
Josh Hart (knee) has been taken off the injury report ahead of the postseason and will participate in Game 1 against the Detroit Pistons on Saturday. Hart missed two of the last three regular-season games to manage a right knee injury. He had a heavy workload once again this year, averaging 37.6 minutes per game, the second-highest mark in the league. The 30-year-old notched 13.6 points, 9.6 rebounds, 5.9 assists, and 1.5 steals over the year, setting a new franchise record with nine triple-doubles in a season.

OG Anunoby, Josh Hart Will Play On Friday
OG Anunoby (thumb) and Josh Hart (knee) will play on Friday against the Cavaliers. Anunoby and Hart weren't available for Thursday's loss to the Detroit Pistons. As a result, Miles McBride and Precious Achiuwa moved into the starting lineup, with the duo combining for 30 points, 12 boards, nine assists, six steals, and three blocks. While the absence of Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) should keep them involved, they aren't expected to be nearly as productive for DFS managers.

Josh Hart Considered Questionable Against Cavaliers On Friday
Josh Hart (knee) is one of four starters listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. According to head coach Tom Thibodeau, Hart, OG Anunoby (thumb), Jalen Brunson (ankle), and Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) are all considered game-time decisions. The Cavaliers are resting a couple of players since they have the East locked up, but the Knicks are only one game ahead of the Indiana Pacers for the third seed. If Hart can't suit up, Mikal Bridges and P.J. Tucker will likely soak up some of those minutes. Tucker shouldn't be considered for a streaming option or value play in DFS after registering just three points and six rebounds across 27 minutes in their last game.

Josh Hart Will Not Play Thursday Night
Josh Hart (knee) will exit the lineup for Thursday's encounter with the Detroit Pistons. New York's ironman will receive a rare off night against the Pistons following a 48-minute outing in Tuesday's overtime loss to the Boston Celtics. Thursday's game marks the first leg of a back-to-back for the Knicks, so there's a good chance Hart will rejoin the fun on Friday night against the Cleveland Cavaliers. With OG Anunoby (thumb) and Mitchell Robinson (ankle) also on the shelf against Detroit, Precious Achiuwa, Miles McBride, and Landry Shamet are expected to pick up more work.
