Impact The 27-year-old wing was impressive throughout the game, picking his spots to inflict damage on offense and being a massive presence on the glass, though the latter has been a trend all season. Hart has pulled down at least 10 rebounds in four different games this season, but this was the first time he achieved that feat since a win over the Hornets on Nov. 9. He's averaging a robust 8.7 rebounds, along with 9.6 points, per game this season.

Across 17 appearances, the sixth-year wing has averaged 9.6 points, 8.4 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.4 steals in 35.7 minutes per game.

Impact Hart has established himself as one of the best rebounders in the league, but his fantasy value always receives an uptick when he also produces on the offensive end of the court. This 19-point output tied his season-best mark, but he hasn't been consistent as a scorer and has scored in double digits just thrice in 10 November appearances. He's averaging 8.4 points, 7.9 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.4 steals per game during that 10-game span.

Starting against Suns Hart (ankle) is starting Saturday against the Suns, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Portland's head coach Chauncey Billups said he's sticking with the same lineup that started against the Grizzlies, so Hart will reclaim his usual spot in the starting five despite the fact he was dealing with a right ankle injury just a few hours before tip-off. He's far from being a scoring threat and that diminishes his fantasy value, but he's a valuable piece for the Blazers due to his elite defensive and rebounding upside. He's pulling down a career-high 8.8 boards per contest.
