Josh Hart notched 19 points (5-of-12 FGs, 9-of-10 FTs), 15 rebounds, seven assists and three steals in Friday's win over the Bucks.On a night when Karl-Anthony Towns (9/10/4/0/1 with one three-pointer) and Jordan Clarkson (6/4/3) combined to shoot 4-of-21 from the field, Hart stepped up and gave the Knicks important offensive production. The move back into the starting lineup has been great for the versatile wing, who has totaled 41 points over the last two games. We'll see what happens when OG Anunoby returns from his hamstring injury, but it may be more likely that Miles McBride returns to the bench than Hart.
According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Landry Shamet (shoulder) will be re-evaluated in four weeks.Shamet sustained the injury in Saturday's loss to Orlando, and he'll be out through at least late December. Shamet's play time and production were trending up prior to his injury, and his absence will free up additional playing time for Miles McBride and Jordan Clarkson.
Jordan Clarkson had 24 points (6-of-13 FGs, 9-of-11 FTs), five rebounds, three assists and three three-pointers against the Heat on Friday.With Jalen Brunson out Friday against the Heat, Clarkson played the most minutes (33) and scored the most points (24) that he'd had in a game this season. The 33-year-old point guard is averaging 15.8 minutes and 9.1 points this year, which simply isn't enough to be fantasy viable in his typical role.
