Hunter amassed 17 points (5-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal over 29 minutes during Sunday's 120-105 win over the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

Darius Garland didn't have his best scoring performance in this win, so Hunter needed to step up again, and the veteran forward continues to make a big impact for the Cavaliers' offense. Hunter has scored in double digits in eight of his last nine outings, averaging 19.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 0.7 steals per game over that stretch.

Hunter closed with 20 points (8-16 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and two steals in 28 minutes during Friday's 120-109 victory over the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter has scored at least 20 points in two straight games for the second time this season, and his longest streak in that regard is a three-game stretch between Nov. 8 and Nov. 12. The veteran wing has done a good job adjusting to a starting role with the Cavaliers after being a key reserve in 2024-25. Hunter is averaging 18.1 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game since the beginning of November.

Hunter racked up 25 points (6-11 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 8-8 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 114-104 loss to the Rockets.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter played well after an unimpressive 11-point night Monday. He led the Cavaliers in scoring by catching fire from beyond the arc, setting a new season high in made triples. This marks the fifth time this year he's reached the 20-point threshold through 13 games.

Hunter totaled 11 points (5-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist in 26 minutes during Monday's 118-106 victory over the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter has cooled down offensively, averaging 10 points in his last two games after going on a streak averaging 22.3 points in the previous four. While that miniature offensive explosion can likely be attributed to various absences among the starting lineup, it is encouraging to see that Hunter is capable of such offensive production, and he would be a priority add if any of the other starters were to miss an extended period of time.

Hunter supplied 21 points (8-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two steals in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 130-116 win over Miami.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter embraced a bigger role on offense due to the absences of Donovan Mitchell (rest), Evan Mobley (rest) and Darius Garland (toe) to surpass the 20-point mark for the third straight contest. Hunter is making the most of his steady role in the starting lineup and has been a pleasant surprise from a fantasy perspective. Through nine games, Hunter is averaging 19.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 0.9 steals per game.

Hunter produced 29 points (10-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-7 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one block in 30 minutes during Saturday's 128-122 win over Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter returned from a one-game absence against the Wizards on Friday but was limited to eight points. He certainly showed the illness is way past him with this performance in the second leg of a back-to-back set. The 29-point output was a season-best effort for Hunter, and he's looking like a reliable offensive weapon for Cleveland, as he's scored at least 16 points in five of his seven appearances this season.

Hunter (illness) is available for Friday's game against the Wizards, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter will be available for the Cavaliers after a one-game absence. The veteran wing is enjoying a strong start to the season with averages of 18.4 points, 5.6 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game in five starts in 2025-26.

Hunter (illness) is probable to play Friday against the Wizards.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter missed Wednesday's game against the 76ers due to an illness, but the probable tag suggests he should be able to return after a one-game absence. Hunter is averaging 18.4 points, 5.6 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game in five starts in 2025-26.

Hunter (illness) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the 76ers, Ethan Sands of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter is dealing with an illness that will keep him sidelined. The team will likely give Jaylon Tyson and Dean Wade more time on the floor in Hunter's absence.

Hunter (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter was a late addition to the injury report. It's possible the Cavaliers evaluate him after warmups before a decision is made on his status. Sam Merrill (hip) is also questionable, so the Cavaliers could be pretty shorthanded on the wings unless they get some good news on these forwards.
