Hunter logged 21 points (6-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-7 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 122-99 loss to the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter seems to have lost his starting role, as Saddiq Bey and Jalen Johnson have been playing as starting forwards, but he's been making a strong case for a bigger role with his recent performances. Despite coming off the bench in each of his appearances since returning to the hardwood on Jan. 30, Hunter is averaging 18.4 points per game over his last five outings while racking up the 20-point mark three times in that span.

Hunter is off the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Bulls.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

Hunter has been downgraded from questionable to out on the second leg of Atlanta's back-to-back Saturday due to right knee injury management. Saddiq Bey, Garrison Mathews, Jalen Johnson and AJ Griffin are candidates to receive increased minutes in his absence. Hunter should be available for Monday's matchup with Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

No surprise here, as Hunter was previously considered probable. He's played 19 or fewer minutes in three straight games, as the Hawks are ramping him up slowly as a precaution. Hunter will come off the bench against Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter continues to deal with a right knee injury but is expected to play through it Wednesday. The 25-year-old forward has come off the bench and logged 16 and 19 minutes, respectively, in his last two appearances.

Hunter totaled 27 points (10-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds and three assists in 19 minutes during Monday's 149-144 loss to the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter once again operated under a minutes restriction in his third game back from an extended absence while he recovered from a non-surgical procedure on his right knee, but his extremely efficient shooting and quality contributions on the board allowed him to deliver the goods for fantasy managers who kept him active Monday. Even though Hunter's true shooting percentage sits at a career-best 61.2 percent, Monday's elite performance was a major outlier, and fantasy managers shouldn't look to chase it even if his minutes restriction is loosened a bit for Wednesday's game in Boston. Beyond occasionally catching fire from the field and three-point range, Hunter offers a rather lean fantasy profile. He's averaging just 4.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.3 blocks per game on the season, making him a neutral or negative contributor in all four categories.

Hunter (knee) is available for Monday's game against the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter will shake off a questionable tag and suit up for the third time over Atlanta's past four games. He's been limited to 16 minutes in each of his first two appearances following a month-long absence, so his fantasy upside is capped versus the Clippers.
