Portland Trail Blazers forward Josh Hart (hamstring) missed the team's last game on Saturday and his status is now up in the air for Monday against the Atlanta Hawks. He's currently dealing with right hamstring tightness and head coach Chauncey Billups said he "did some stuff," but his status is still to be determined. If Hart remains on the sidelines, Trendon Watford would likely step into that role and could be a decent streaming option in deeper leagues.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Josh Hart (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Houston Rockets. Hart is dealing with a left ankle sprain, but feels good enough to play in this game. He should see increased chances with the ball because Jerami Grant (back) is sitting this game out. Hart is expected to be in the starting five and should be a strong streaming option for Saturday's game. Hart is rostered in most fantasy formats already, but fantasy managers should snag him if he is available.

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Josh Hart (ankle) will be in the lineup Friday against Dallas. He is dealing with a left ankle sprain and the team continues to list Hart on the injury report, but he's had no issues playing through the ailment and it won't keep him off the court Friday either. Hart is a guy who does a bit of everything for the team, and he has even led the squad in rebounding twice across the last five games. For the whole season, Hart has been averaging a career-high 8.3 rebounds with 9.5 points, 4.0 assists and 1.5 steals.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Josh Hart will end up playing on Wednesday night against the San Antonio Spurs. Hart was previously listed as probable so this doesn't come as too much of a surprise. The 27-year-old has appeared on the injury report numerous times with smaller ailments and it looks like that's going to be more of the same. He's only missed two games so far this season. In deeper leagues, he's a good play on any given night.

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Josh Hart (ankle) is in danger of missing a second consecutive game, with the team listing him as doubtful for Saturday's clash with the Jazz. He sprained his left ankle in a game against the Clippers earlier in the week and you really never know when these types of injuries clear up. Portland has another game on Sunday versus Indiana, so it could be a smart move for the team to keep Hart out of another game. His absence allowed Trendon Watford to make his first start of the season Wednesday versus the Lakers. The 22-year-old did well by logging a double-double in 31 minutes with 10 points and 10 rebounds. He has averaged 14.8 points per game with 6.6 rebounds as a starter across his whole young career. These are some solid numbers, but Watford has been having a very quiet sophomore season and he's not a consistent performer, so fantasy managers definitely shouldn't rush to grab him.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Josh Hart (ankle) has been downgraded to out for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The 27-year-old was questionable coming into this game due to an ankle issue that he re-aggravated on Tuesday night. The Blazers will take the cautious approach and give Hart the night off. Trendon Watford will move into the starting five for Wednesday's game. The Blazers are going with a big lineup for this game. Last season, Watford averaged 15.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.4 assists in 10 starts with Portland. However, this is a different team, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect the same result. Fantasy managers should consider Watford a deep league streaming option for Wednesday.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Josh Hart (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He continues to deal with a left ankle injury that he likely re-aggravated during Tuesday's contest. Shaedon Sharpe is looking like a strong streaming option with Nassir Little (hip) already ruled out for this game. Sharpe could play a big role in this game, so fantasy managers should keep an eye on him for Wednesday's slate.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Josh Hart (ankle) is expected to suit up for Wednesday's meeting with Cleveland. The 27-year-old has a sprained left ankle. However, it's not expected to keep him out for this one. Hart has averaged 9.6 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 1.4 steals this season. Yet, with Damian Lillard (calf) sidelined, Hart should benefit by getting more chances on the offensive end.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Josh Hart (concussion) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The 27-year-old hit his head during Friday's game and was placed in concussion protocol. He has now cleared the league's protocol and is available for this game. Hart has played at least 30 minutes per game in every contest this season. There is no word on Hart being limited, so he's expected to have his normal workload on Wednesday. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups accordingly with Hart returning.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Josh Hart (head) entered concussion protocol on Saturday. The 27-year-old hit his head during Friday's win over Houston but will now go through the return-to-participation process before he's cleared. Hart has played well in his six games this season, averaging 10.5 points, 9.2 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 1.3 steals. The Blazers' next game will take place on Wednesday against Memphis, so there's a chance he could be good to go by then. However, if Hart isn't available, Justise Winslow and Nassir Little could see some more work.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Josh Hart was a monster on the glass in Sunday's win against the Los Angeles Lakers, finishing with 16 rebounds in 36 minutes. Hart has proven he does not need to score much to provide solid fantasy value as he also contributed nine points, five assists and two steals. Hart's been an excellent rebounder for his size, evident by his 10.0 rebounds per game to start the 2022 campaign. Hart is getting plenty of opportunity this year with the new-look Trail Blazers and should continue to be a rebounding and steals anchor for fantasy managers everywhere. Hart and the Blazers have a quick turnaround as they play the Denver Nuggets Monday night who give up the 7th-fewest rebounds per game to opposing forwards so far this season.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Josh Hart will be the starting small forward to begin the season, according to head coach Chauncey Billups. It sounds like the organization has been impressed with Hart throughout the preseason. They believe Hart offers something they don't have in the starting five. Nassir Little and Justise Winslow are expected to back up Hart off the bench. Both players should have decent roles, but Hart is the only fantasy relevant player here. He should be able to carve out some late-round value considering he'll be in the starting five to begin the season.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Josh Hart will be returning for at least one more season. This wasn't a hard call for the organization with Hart only owed $12.9 million for the 2022-2023 campaign. Hart also has a mutual option for the following season, which means he could be in Portland for the next two years. The expectation is that Hart is going to play significant minutes on the rebuilding Blazers roster. He should be able to carry reliable fantasy value, assuming he can actually stay healthy.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Josh Hart (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. This marks the third game in a row that Hart has missed due to a knee issue. Kris Dunn moved into the starting lineup during their last game. He finished with nine points, three assists, and five rebounds in 25 minutes. It's likely that the Blazers continue to ride with Dunn until Hart is able to play again. He'll have low-end streaming value on the banged up Blazers roster.

Portland Trail Blazers shooting guard Josh Hart (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against San Antonio due to left patellar tendinopathy. Hart has recently enjoyed No. 1 scoring option status for an injury-plagued Portland roster, but his absence paves the way for Brandon Williams, Ben McLemore, CJ Elleby, and others to take on significantly elevated offensive roles. The Blazers have little incentive to rush Hart, who has averaged 28.6 PPG over his last five outings, back to action, even as they sit just 2.5 games out of a Play-in Tournament spot. For context, Anfernee Simons (knee), who has been dealing with the same issue, has been sidelined since March 5.

Portland Trail Blazers shooting guard Josh Hart (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game vs. Detroit due to left patellar tendinopathy. Hart has been vital to Portland's offense over the past five contests, in which he has averaged 28.6 points per night. Without him in the mix, CJ Elleby and Ben McLemore figure to get elevated minutes, while Brandon Williams and Trendon Watford are among a group that could be considered the team's top scoring options. While the ailment is not traditionally of the one-game absence variety, Hart's next chance to suit up comes Wednesday against the Spurs.

Portland Trail Blazers small forward Josh Hart had far and away the best offensive night of his career to this point during Saturday's victory over Washington. Hart, whose previous career high in scoring was 30 points, sizzled en route to a 44-point performance on 15-for-21 shooting overall. To cap off one of the more all-around impressive fantasy outings this year from any individual player, Hart added eight rebounds, six assists, six made threes, and four steals, all while knocking down all eight free throws that he attempted. With Portland enormously short-handed down the stretch, Hart is going to have substantial upside over the final month-plus. He figures to remain the focal point of the offense Monday against the Hawks, who enter Sunday with the fourth-worst defensive efficiency in the league.

New Orleans Pelicans small forward Josh Hart (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game vs. Detroit due to a left knee contusion. Hart closed January by ripping off double-doubles in back-to-back outings, finishing the month by averaging 9.2 boards per outing, a career best for a single month of full production. Hart's absence should propel Garrett Temple into a larger minutes total, while also paving the way for Herbert Jones and Jonas Valanciunas to play a bigger role on the glass against a Pistons team that is last in the league in rebounding rate (47.6). The next opportunity for Hart to take the floor comes Friday against Denver.

New Orleans Pelicans shooting guard Brandon Ingram (ankle) and small forward Josh Hart (ankle) have been ruled out for Tuesday's contest vs. the 76ers. Ingram is missing his second consecutive outing due to a sprained right ankle, which paves the way for Garrett Temple to remain among the starting five and take on elevated offensive duties. Hart's absence stands to be critical for New Orleans, who is likely to rely on Nickeil Alexander-Walker for a heavier workload, particularly with Jonas Valanciunas (rest) and Devonte' Graham (ankle) unavailable. Herbert Jones and Tomas Satoransky also stand out as upside plays in the DFS market, with Ingram and Hart's next chance at suiting up coming Friday against Denver.

New Orleans Pelicans shooting guard Brandon Ingram (Achilles) and small forward Josh Hart (ankle) have been ruled out for Tuesday's game vs. Cleveland. The absence from Ingram does not come as a surprise after he carried a doubtful designation into the day, while Hart's departure from action leaves the team thin on the wing. Garrett Temple, Tomas Satoransky, and Herbert Jones are all likely to see elevated minutes and usage without Ingram and Hart in the mix, while Devonte' Graham stands to possess the highest offensive upside of any healthy member of the roster. The next opportunity for Ingram or Hart to return to the floor comes Saturday against the Bucks.
