Questionable for Monday's contest Hart is questionable for Monday's matchup against the Cavaliers due to a left knee contusion.

Impact Hart totaled 10 points and 13 rebounds across 35 minutes during Saturday's loss to Boston, but he apparently picked up a knee injury in the process. Brandon Ingram (ankle) is also questionable, so Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Garrett Temple and Tomas Satoransky could all be in line for increased roles if one or both of the aforementioned starters is unable to suit up.

Double-doubles in start Hart amassed 10 points (4-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and three steals in 35 minutes during Saturday's 107-97 loss to Boston.

Impact Hart helped on both ends of the floor in Brandon Ingram's (ankle) absence. He is an everyday starter as the team moves forward without Zion Williamson (foot), who is still weeks away from a return. Hart has posted double-digit scoring totals in 20 consecutive games and has largely flown under the fantasy radar with 11 double-doubles.

Impact Hart didn't participate in Thursday's practice session after missing Tuesday's game against the 76ers with a left ankle sprain. If he's unavailable once again, Garrett Temple and Tomas Satoransky should take on increased roles.

Hart missed the Pelicans' most recent game Tuesday in Philadelphia with the sprained left ankle, which the team appears to be viewing as a day-to-day concern.
