Lakers' Josh Hart has earned more minutes going forward
Los Angeles Lakers coach Luke Walton said that rookie guard/forward Josh Hart has earned increased minutes.
What It Means:
Walton pointed out that Hart "needs to build a rhythm after having various minor ailments." On Sunday, though, Hart scored five points and was a +21 in 14 minutes of floor time. And, with Luol Deng out of the rotation, there will be a few more minutes to go between the shooting guard and small forward spots. As a result, Jordan Clarkson could play more point as Brandon Ingram spends more time at small forward.
According to our models, Hart is in line for 755 minutes the rest of the season and 8.4 FanDuel points in Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards.
