Hunter recorded 21 points (7-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 116-106 loss to Charlotte.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter paced the Hawks in scoring Wednesday as Trae Young crashed back down to earth following his back-to-back 45-plus point outings. The 24-year-old has now posted double-digit scoring efforts in eight consecutive games, and his four three-pointers were his most since Nov. 3, 2021. Hunter won't be able to carry the Hawks to wins without Young's usual contributions, but his improved efficiency from the field is encouraging as his team vies for a playoff spot.

Hunter notched 20 points (6-17 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, two blocks and two steals in 34 minutes during Monday's 122-113 win over the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter has logged 12-plus points in seven consecutive contests. While he wasn't efficient with his looks Monday, Hunter has connected on at least 50.0 percent of his shots in five of those aforementioned seven contests. The 24-year-old is averaging 32.1 minutes across his last 10 games.

Hunter provided 15 points (5-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and two assists across 37 minutes during Sunday's 131-128 victory over the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter logged a team-high 37 minutes and trailed only Trae Young in scoring. Outside of the scoring column, Hunter supplied very brand contributions. After averaging 4.8 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 2020-21, Hunter's averages have dipped to 3.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists this season.

Hunter contributed 26 points (8-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 35 minutes during Friday's 117-114 victory over the Wizards.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter has been inconsistent on the scoreboard across the last month, but he shot 66.7 percent from the floor Friday and matched his highest scoring total of the season during the narrow victory. He's played at least 35 minutes in each of the last four games and has averaged 15.5 points and 3.0 rebounds in 36.5 minutes per game during that time.

Hunter supplied four points (0-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist and two steals over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 107-98 loss to Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter failed to score from the field for the second time in three games, and he's shooting 4-for-23 during this stretch. In February, he posted shooting splits of just 39/31/80, so Tuesday's performance is a continuation of a troubling downward trend for the young wing.

Hunter (illness) is available for Saturday's game against the Raptors, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter exited Thursday's game against the Bulls due to an illness but was listed as probable ahead of Saturday's matchup. He's scored in double figures in four of the last five games and will presumably remain in the starting lineup against Toronto.

Hunter (illness) is probable for Saturday's game against the Raptors, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter was removed from Thursday's game against the Bulls due to an illness, but he'll have a chance to return to the court against Toronto. If he's held out, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Kevin Huerter should see additional run.

Hunter won't return to Thursday's game against Chicago due to illness, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter will miss the remainder of the second half after putting up just two points, one rebound and one assist in 13 minutes. Bogdan Bogdanovic and Kevin Huerter could see more opportunities down the stretch as a result.

Hunter added 14 points (5-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds and one block across 27 minutes in Wednesday's 130-109 win over Orlando.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter's 27 minutes of action were the most amongst Hawks' staters, and his 14 points marked a fourth straight game in double figures. During his recent four outings, the Virginia product is averaging 13.0 points with a high of 18 points coming Tuesday against Cleveland. Aside from his solid offensive play, however, the forward wasn't much of a factor, and he's only averaging 3.3 rebounds across his last four outings.

Hunter posted 18 points (7-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one steal in 35 minutes Tuesday in the Hawks' 124-116 win over the Cavaliers.

EDGE Analysis

Though Hunter came through with his second-best scoring output in his last 11 games, his lack of peripheral statistics continues to cap his fantasy upside. The Hawks will likely keep leaning on Hunter for secondary offense while John Collins (foot) is out through the All-Star break, but fantasy managers seeking help in the nonscoring categories are better off seeking help elsewhere. Hunter has posted modest averages of 3.6 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.1 three-pointers, 0.6 steals and 0.0 blocks through seven February games.
