EDGE Analysis

Despite struggling with his shot in April, when Hunter averaged 37.0 percent from the field and an abysmal 24.1 percent from deep, this season was fairly successful for the 26-year-old. Hunter was a consistent part of Atlanta's rotation, starting in 38 of his 57 appearances and averaging 15.6 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.5 assists while shooting a career-high 38.5 percent from deep.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter sat out Wednesday's game against the Hornets due to rest purposes, but he'll be back on the court following a one-game absence. Over five appearances this month, he's averaged 17.6 points, 5.6 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 36.2 minutes per game.

Hunter is questionable for Wednesday's game against Charlotte due to rest purposes, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter played 47 minutes during Atlanta's double-overtime loss to the Heat on Tuesday, and it's unclear whether he'll be available for the second half of the back-to-back set. If he's sidelined, Garrison Mathews, Wesley Matthews (hamstring) and Bogdan Bogdanovic are candidates to see increased run.

Hunter racked up 23 points (10-23 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 47 minutes during Tuesday's 117-111 double-overtime loss to the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

Even though Hunter needed 23 shots to score 23 points in this double-overtime loss, he still posted a strong stat line while grabbing double-digit boards for the third time in the campaign. Hunter has started in each of Atlanta's last 11 games and has been excellent over that span, averaging 17.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 0.6 steals per contest.

Hunter chipped in 26 points (11-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-3 FT), seven rebounds and four assists over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 121-113 victory over the Pistons.

EDGE Analysis

Making his eighth straight start, Hunter produced his best scoring effort during that stretch, and his best since dropping 27 points in the Jazz on March 15. The fifth-year forward has averaged 17.3 points, 5.6 boards, 2.6 threes and 2.3 assists during his stint in the starting five, and the fact that he held onto his spot even with Jalen Johnson back in his usual role bodes well for Hunter's fantasy value over the final couple weeks.

Hunter produced 13 points (5-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 35 minutes during Saturday's 122-113 loss to the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

Saddiq Bey's (knee) season-ending injury has thrust Hunter into an expanded role, and despite a lukewarm total against the Bucks, he's responded well to the increased usage. Hunter has averaged 17.3 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists after six consecutive starts.

Hunter finished Thursday's 123-122 overtime victory over Boston with 21 points (8-16 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 0-3 FT), 13 rebounds and one assist across 40 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter has been starting in recent days and delivered another strong showing, as he's taking advantage of the fact that Jalen Johnson (ankle) and Saddiq Bey (knee) are out, with the latter not returning until next season. Hunter has reached the 20-point mark in three of his last five starts and in five of his previous eight appearances overall.

Hunter provided 24 points (8-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds and three assists across 34 minutes during Monday's 120-118 win over the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter's scoring repertoire Monday featured on-the-move jumpers and sharp sniping from deep, including a game-sealing three to put Atlanta up four with nine seconds remaining. Hunter's midrange shot-making isn't inherently conducive to efficient basketball, but he is succeeding at a high level in March, averaging 16.8 points on 45.0/38.2/80.0 percent shooting.

Hunter totaled 22 points (5-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 9-10 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two steals over 34 minutes during Thursday's 128-115 loss to Phoenix.

EDGE Analysis

Getting the start with Jalen Johnson (ankle) unavailable, Hunter reached 20 points for the third time in the last four games, bouncing back from a shaky eight-point effort against the Lakers on Monday. That game was the only one since the All-Star break in which the fifth-year forward failed to score in double digits, and in those 14 contests, he's averaged 17.0 points, 3.1 boards, 2.1 threes, 1.4 assists and 0.8 steals in 28.6 minutes per contest.
