Josh Hart Questionable Again On Injury Report
Josh Hart (quad) is being listed as questionable to play Friday against the Sacramento Kings. Hart has not played since the opener, missing the past four games and has been listed as questionable in most, if not all of those contests. Hart should be nearing a return, but there is not much clarity on his progress. When Hart eventually returns, he will likely retake his starting spot from Herbert Jones. Trey Murphy III should also see less minutes off the bench when Hart returns.

Josh Hart Leads Knicks In Scoring Wednesday Night
Josh Hart was the team's top scorer with 24 points on 7-for-15 shooting in Wednesday's heavy 127-102 defeat to the Boston Celtics. Hart's night began painfully when he sustained a cut near his eye in a collision with Celtics center Luke Kornet, leaving his face and uniform covered in blood. Despite this, he ultimately had his best offensive outing of the postseason. The veteran finished 5-for-9 from downtown and bagged seven rebounds with two assists in 36 minutes. Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns both battled foul trouble and combined for only 41 points. Hart's offensive outburst came at a good time for the Knicks, but his efforts weren't enough on Wednesday. Going into Game 6 on Friday, he holds averages of 15.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 3.2 assists for the series.
New York Knicks guard/forward Josh Hart Leads All Scorers With 23 Points In Game 2 Against Celtics
Josh Hart emerged as a surprising top scorer in Game 2 against the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night, putting up 23 points on 9-for-15 shooting in a 91-90 victory. While most superstars struggled for efficiency, Hart was extremely effective, contributing in other areas as well. He recorded a team-high two blocks and grabbed six rebounds, while also delivering three assists. Hart, who went 3-for-6 from behind the arc, failed to extend his double-double streak to three games, but he will still be happy with his effort. The Knicks are now 2-0 in the series as they head home and must be confident about securing a spot in the Conference Finals, with Hart making an impact all over the court. He has averaged 13.5 points, 8.6 rebounds, 5.1 assists, and 1.4 steals in these playoffs.

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.
