#1. Josh Hart (nine triple-doubles)

Josh Hart continued to highlight his value as a New York Knick by setting a new franchise record for the most triple-doubles in a season with nine and counting. It was in line with his stellar showing all season long, which has seen him average 13.9 points. 9.7 rebounds and 5.7 assists in 38 minutes per game.

The new record eclipsed Hart's previous high of six triple-doubles he set in last year's campaign.
