Josh Hart - Explodes for career-best 44 points Hart provided 44 points (15-21 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 8-8 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and four steals across 36 minutes during Saturday's 127-118 victory over Washington. Impact Hart came into Saturday mired in an ugly slump during which he shot just 18.8 percent (6-of-32) over three games, but he looked like a completely different player against the Wizards. The 27-year-old enjoyed the most dynamic offensive performance of his career, easily surpassing his previous high of 30 points, which he set as a member of the Lakers back in 2018. Hart also made a season-best six three-pointers on nine attempts and rounded out his robust stat line with eight boards, six dimes and four steals. This is very likely to go down as Hart's best game of the campaign, but don't expect him to revert to his slump. He's shown more offensive aggressiveness since joining the Blazers on Feb. 8, posting at least 22 points in four of nine contests.
