Out of all players in the NBA, Josh Hart registers in the 100th percentile for playing time, registering a monstrous 37.8 minutes per game this year.
This year, opposing starting SFs have totaled 5.8 3-point attempts per game (2nd-most in the NBA) against the Celtics, marking this as a good matchup.

Favors Under
The Knicks have played at the 3rd-most lethargic pace-of-play in the NBA on the road this year.
The Celtics have played at the 2nd-most sluggish tempo in the league over the last 25 games, which should decrease possessions for the New York Knicks.
As a team, the New York Knicks have been quite unsuccesful at getting to the charity stripe as the road team: 9th-worst in the league this year, totaling a mere 20.5 foul shot attempts per game.
Over the last 10 games when they are the visiting squad, the opposing team's starting SFs have attempted 2.6 foul shots per game (4th-lowest in the NBA) vs. the Boston Celtics, struggling to get to the free-throw line.
Josh Hart should suffer a drop-off in effectiveness across the board in light of playing on the visting team in this contest.
