Furthermore, Hart scored a season-high 23 points in a 122-108 loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Feb. 8 and in a 113-111 victory against the Detroit Pistons on Feb. 26.

The Villanova product is shooting 42.9% from the floor, 32.4% from 3-point range, and 67.2% at the line. Hart, 29, ranks 16th in defensive rebounds (410) and 19th in defensive win shares (2.8) this season.

Josh Hart helped the New York Knicks improve to 13-2 in games played this season with OG Anunoby

New York was coming off a humiliating, 79-73 loss to Philadelphia on Sunday. The Knicks’ 73 points were the fewest scored by a team this season. Having OG Anunoby back in the lineup on Tuesday was the difference maker.

Anunoby scored 14 points in his return from an 18-game absence.

“I think we played to our strengths,” Hart said. “I think we played faster. We took care of the ball. We rebounded the ball. And we cut, we moved, we got good shots.”

this is wild…

Anunoby hadn’t played since Jan. 27 because of a right elbow injury that required surgery. However, New York is still playing without All-Star Julius Randle and Mitchell Robinson.

The Knicks improved to 13-2 in games that Anunoby has played in after acquiring him from Toronto in a Dec. 30 trade. New York has also held its opponents below 80 points in three straight games for the first time since the 2000-01 season.

The Knicks visit the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday to begin their four-game road trip.
