    • Josh Hart hits four 3-pointers, scores 20 points
      Josh Hart shot 8-of-16 from the field in Thursday’s Game 3 loss to the 76ers, accounting for 20 points, six rebounds, six assists, one steal, and four 3-pointers in 43 minutes.

      Advice: Hart continues to flourish offensively, as Philadelphia does not appear convinced in his ability to shoot the basketball. The former Villanova standout shot 4-of-8 from beyond the arc in Game 3, moving to 12-of-23 for the series. Given the sample size, Philadelphia may look to adjust its approach to defending Hart, which means the Knicks will need more from Donte DiVincenzo. While responsible for a thunderous second-quarter dunk, the “Big Ragu” missed all three of his 3-point attempts and finished with five points, four rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 27 minutes. New York will take a 2-1 series lead into Sunday’s Game 4. Rotoworld Thursday, 7:54 pm
       
    • De’Anthony Melton (back) active Thursday
      De’Anthony Melton (back injury recovery) has been upgraded from questionable to active ahead of Thursday’s 76ers-Knicks game.

      Advice: Melton is set to make his 2024 postseason debut. His nagging back injury has improved enough for him to hit the hardwood and his status will likely reduce Kyle Lowry’s minutes. Rotoworld Thursday, 3:34 pm
       
    • Available to play Thursday
      Melton (back) is available for Thursday's game against the Knicks, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

      Advice: Melton was tabbed a game-time decision for this contest, but he'll be available to see minutes off the bench. He didn't see action in either of the first two games of the series and has played just two games since the beginning of March, so he's not expected to have a heavy workload.

    • Considered game-time decision
      Melton (back) is considered a game-time decision for Thursday's Game 3 against the Knicks, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

      Advice: Melton practiced Wednesday and is questionable for Thursday's matchup, but the 76ers will wait to see how he fares during pregame warmups before determining his availability. Even with the 76ers down 0-2 in the first-round series, it wouldn't be surprising to see Melton's playing time monitored if he's cleared to suit up Thursday. Rotowire.com Thursday, 2:52 pm
       
    • Questionable for Thursday
      Melton (back) is questionable for Thursday's Game 3 matchup with New York.

      Advice: Melton has not yet made an appearance this postseason, but he was able to practice Wednesday, so he does appear to be close. However, he'll likely have his minutes closely monitored once he is eventually cleared to return. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 1:36 pm
       
    • De’Anthony Melton (back) questionable for Game 3
      De’Anthony Melton (back injury recovery) is questionable to play in Game 3 against the Knicks on Thursday.

      Advice: Melton has only been available to play in a handful of games since January, but there is a chance that he is back in the lineup for Game 3. He will likely play a limited role off the bench, but his shooting and defense could be an x-factor in this series, especially with the 76ers currently down 0-2. Rotoworld Wednesday, 1:36 pm
       
    • Practices Wednesday
      Coach Nick Nurse said Melton (back) practiced Wednesday and is on track to suit up for Thursday's Game 3 against the Knicks, but the shooting guard will likely still be listed as questionable on the official injury report, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.

      Advice: Melton has appeared in only five games since Jan. 12 and last suited up April 12, so even if he gets the green light, he'll presumably be eased into action. The sixth-year wing made only 38 regular-season appearances and averaged 11.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.6 steals in 26.9 minutes per game. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 9:18 am
       
    • Logs stellar 21/15 double-double
      Hart provided 21 points (7-16 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals in 48 minutes during Monday's 104-101 victory over the 76ers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: Hart enjoyed another heroic stat line after posting a 22-point, 13-rebound double-double in Game 1. Jalen Brunson's shooting slump has rendered Hart as the most consistent producer for New York in the quarterfinals, and the latter's 19 first-half points kept the Knicks afloat early.

    • Josh Hart tallies 21 points, 15 rebounds in Game 2
      Josh Hart finished Monday’s 104-101 win over Philadelphia with 21 points (7-of-16 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), 15 rebounds, three assists, two steals, two blocks, and four 3-pointers in 48 minutes.

      Advice: Hart played every second of Game 2, with his steal sparking a sequence capped by Donte DiVincenzo’s game-winning three with 13.1 seconds remaining. The 76ers continued to let Hart fire away from beyond the arc, and he made them pay for the second straight game. The Knicks wing was 4-of-7 from beyond the arc in Game 2, in addition to recording another double-double. Philadelphia did a much better job on the boards than in Game 1, but the approach of simply letting Hart shoot may need to change heading into Thursday’s Game 3. Rotoworld Monday, 7:47 pm
