Overview
- Hart is converting a career-best 40.4% from three this season, after shooting 42.4% in January and 46.7% early in February.
- Opponents often place their center on Hart and sink into the lane, a coverage he now exploits with open threes or snap drives as Brown tells him to “let it fly.”
- His responsibilities remain fluid by matchup, with shot attempts fluctuating from 3 to 17 since his return from an ankle sprain as he toggles between facilitator and scorer.
- He delivered 19 points on 7-of-14 shooting in the Feb. 8 win at Boston, underscoring his recent willingness to shoot when left open.
- During Tuesday’s game against the Pacers, he recorded his 17th triple-double as a Knick to move to third on the franchise list, according to ClutchPoints.
