Injured during Friday's loss to the Timberwolves, Hart participated fully in Saturday's practice. An essential member of the Knicks' rotation, he hasn't missed a game since December 19 at Minnesota (personal reasons). If Hart cannot play against the Hawks, Miles McBride and Landry Shamet will figure more prominently in the rotation.
Hart (neck) is questionable for Monday's game against the Hawks.
Towns has missed two straight, but his participation in practice could mean he's nearing a return. Hart hasn't missed a game since December 19, but he's apparently dealing with a shoulder injury. Both players' next chance to play will come Monday against the Hawks at Madison Square Garden. If one or both are sidelined, expect Jericho Sims and Precious Achiuwa to see big minutes in the frontcourt.
Hart appeared to injure his left shoulder during the third quarter of Friday's game when he collided with a teammate under the Timberwolves basket. However, he was able to return later in the quarter, going on to play 38 minutes. Hart didn't have a good night shooting the basketball, but fantasy managers still received some value in the rebound and steals categories. The Knicks are off until Monday when they host the Hawks, so Hart will have a little time to recover.
Hart finished Wednesday's victory with his 11th career triple-double. Pound for pound, the Knicks wing is one of the best rebounders in the NBA, and he also provides value as a playmaker and defender. Hart has been one of the biggest surprises in fantasy basketball this season, and he hasn't shown any signs of slowing down.
