Hunter closed with 10 points (5-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt) and two rebounds over 26 minutes during Friday's 136-121 loss to the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
Hunter failed to deliver again Friday, continuing what has been a sub-par stretch of games. Over the past two weeks, Hunter has fallen off a cliff in terms of production, averaging just 13.4 points per game on 43 percent shooting. On the surface, scoring like this is palatable, but given the fact he is contributing 0.3 combined blocks and steals over the same period, it's easy to see why he's presenting as a drop candidate in most competitive leagues.

Hunter finished with 14 points (4-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds and two assists in 33 minutes Sunday in the Hawks' 103-94 loss to the Mavericks.
EDGE Analysis
While Hunter's point and rebound totals and free-throw production was solid enough, his dearth of peripheral production continues to cap his fantasy upside. Since returning in mid-January from an extended absence following wrist surgery, Hunter is averaging a pedestrian 1.6 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.5 blocks per game. His shortcomings in those areas probably aren't enough to make him worth keeping around in shallower leagues for fantasy managers who are desperate to make up ground in the standings in the three categories.

Hunter supplied 23 points (7-18 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-8 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Friday's 125-114 loss to the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
Hunter has scored in double digits in each of his last three contests, seemingly leaving behind a rough stretch in which he scored only nine points in three straight games. Inconsistency has been an issue with Hunter of late, but he's averaging 15.5 points while shooting 41.2 percent from three-point range across his last 10 games.

Hunter notched 13 points (4-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-7 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 21 minutes during Thursday's 124-115 victory over the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
Hunter was able to play through his ankle injury, finishing with yet another underwhelming line. It appears the medical staff is going to continue to monitor his minutes, especially given his recent injury struggles. The starting role is his to lose and while he can be a viable 12-team asset, his upside is probably not to the point where he is a must-roster player.

Hunter supplied 17 points (7-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal across 33 minutes during Monday's 106-100 loss to the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
Hunter scored in double figures for the first time in his last four appearances. From mid-November to mid-January, Hunter was sidelined due to wrist surgery, and since he's returned, he's landed on the injury report with back and ankle issues. Due to the injuries, the third-year pro has yet to find his grove this season. He's provided a few glimpses at his potential, but the consistency has been lacking, which makes him difficult to trust from a fantasy perspective.

Hunter (ankle) is available for Monday's game against the Raptors, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hunter played through the right ankle injury the past two games and will do so again Monday. The 24-year-old could have a heavier offensive workload versus Toronto since Trae Young (shoulder) has been ruled out.

EDGE Analysis
Hunter played through a sore right ankle during Sunday's win over the Lakers to finish with nine points, four rebounds and two assists in 26 minutes. The Hawks will monitor his status on the second half of a back-to-back, but the expectation is that Hunter will play Monday.
