2025 Fantasy Outlook
Hart's do-it-all mindset, coupled with Tom Thibodeau's reckless minute usage, made the Villanova guard one of the biggest fantasy surprises last season. Hart posted career highs in rebounds (9.6), assists (5.9), steals (1.5) and minutes (37.6) per game. He also shot over 50 percent from the field for a third time in four years, boosting his value immensely in category leagues. Hart's willingness to do whatever is needed on any given night, and the fact that he's missed only 12 regular-season games over the past three campaigns, gives him a high fantasy floor to go with a top-25 ceiling. However, with Thibodeau no longer in town, it's unclear how an inevitably lower minutes total will impact Hart's bottom line in 2025-26. After a disappointing loss to the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Knicks' front office blamed the coach, as the starting five is all set to return. Miles McBride and Mitchell Robinson will also return to key depth roles. Still, New York made a few upgrades around the edges, replacing Cameron Payne with Jordan Clarkson and Precious Achiuwa with Guerschon Yabusele. Hart will remain the Knicks' lynchpin in real life, but a perfect storm last season may have led to an unrepeatable fantasy performance. Read Past Outlooks

Sitting out with illness
Hart (illness) won't play in Thursday's preseason game against the Timberwolves, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.
ANALYSIS
Hart has been ruled out due to an illness, but it's unclear if he's still nursing back spasms as well. His next chance to see preseason action comes in Monday's exhibition clash with the Hornets. In the interim, Guerschon Yabusele and Pacome Dadiet will both have an opportunity to play an expanded role Thursday.

Hart certainly made the most of a favorable situation last season, averaging over 40 minutes per game across the final 49 games of the season. While this should not come as a surprise given Tom Thibodeau is the head coach, it is not something that is sustainable heading into the 2024-25 season. A significant shoulder injury to Julius Randle and an elbow injury to OG Anunoby directly impacted Hart's playing time. Most coaches would simply dive deeper into their rotation, whereas Thibodeau went in the opposite direction, running his starters into the ground. Hart finished as the 124th-ranked player but was much better than that down the stretch, averaging a double-double with 5.5 assists and 1.1 steals over those final 49 games. The addition of Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns should ease some of the burden on Hart's shoulders from last year, reducing the do-it-all forward's fantasy value. If we look at what Hart was doing to open last year, we see an elite waiver wire option, typically added for rebounding purposes. That is where managers should view him on draft day.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Set to see fewer minutes
Hart and the Knicks' other starters aren't expected to see as heavy a workload during the regular season under new head coach Mike Brown that they did under Tom Thibodeau, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Hart, Mikal Bridges and OG Anunoby all finished in the top six in the league last season in minutes per game, while Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns were also in the top 25. Brown intends to put more of an emphasis on keeping them fresh for the postseason, however, which should result in less court time. "The biggest thing is trying to make sure you watch everybody's minutes instead of trying to chase games," Brown said. "There might be some games where maybe you throw the towel in early. It's important to win, but you also have to understand, 'Hey, I want to keep this guy's minutes here, this guy's minutes here, this guy's minutes here, instead of trying to extend everybody's minutes.' Because if the season is long, we don't want anybody worn out by the end." Hart averaged a career-high 37.6 minutes a contest in 2024-25, after being in the 32-33 MPG range the previous three seasons.
