Josh Hart over Mitchell Robinson in the starting lineup is a better option than some wanted to believe.
The New York Knicks are hitting their stride under head coach Mike Brown, having won 11 of their past 14 games. That includes the current four-game winning streak, during which time fan favorite Josh Hart has returned to the starting lineup and begun playing eerily similar minutes to what he was tasked with in 2025-26.
Tom Thibodeau was consistently criticized for starting Hart over potential rim protecting options and handing him a high volume of minutes, but Brown seems to be agreeing with his logic.
