Peterson has missed the last six games with the injury. "Darryn is not going to play tonight," coach Bill Self said in a statement. "He is very close. He has worked his butt off, but he is still not 100 percent. He is day-to-day. Peterson averaged 21.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.0 assists in the first two games of the season before missing the rest of the month.
Last year's leader in minutes played, Hart was relegated to a bench role upon Brown's arrival. But injuries to OG Anunoby and Landry Shamet have thrust the 30-year-old back into the starting lineup, and he's running with his chance. During the Knicks' four-game winning streak, which just so happens to coincide with his first four starts of the season, Hart is averaging 17 points, 11.8 rebounds, and seven assists in 36 minutes per night.
