Hunter is considered questionable for Monday's game against Charlotte due to a bruised left knee, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hunter picked up the injury during Saturday night's loss to the Grizzlies, which may explain why he saw a slightly reduced workload (28 minutes). Look for an update on Hunter's status after shootaround Monday morning.

Hunter scored 18 points (6-10 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT) while adding 10 rebounds and two assists in 32 minutes during Friday's 141-118 rout of the Nets.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie forward produced his second double-double of the season, with the first coming back on Nov. 20. Hunter's offense remains erratic -- he scored only two points Wednesday against the Magic while going 0-for-8 from the floor -- but he's becoming a little more consistent on the glass, averaging 12.9 points, 7.1 boards, 2.1 threes, 1.7 assists and 1.2 steals through nine games in February.

Hunter (ankle) is off the injury report ahead of Wednesday's matchup against the Magic.
EDGE Analysis

Hunter is probable for Wednesday's contest against Orlando due to a right ankle sprain, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is likely the same ankle injury that has been bothering the rookie for the past few weeks. Barring any major setbacks though, Hunter will presumably take the floor. Hunter posted 22 points and seven rebounds in 39 minutes during the Hawks' loss against Philadelphia on Monday.

Hunter (personal) amassed 22 points (6-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 9-10 FT), seven rebounds and two assists across 39 minutes in Monday's 129-112 loss versus the Sixers.
EDGE Analysis
He returned to the lineup after missing Saturday's win over the Mavericks and was very aggressive in a difficult matchup versus the Sixers. This was the rookie's best scoring output in eight games, and the 10 free-throw attempts mark a new season high. Hunter has posted highly fantasy-relevant lines in four of his last five games and appears set to see plenty of usage down the stretch.

Hunter will return to the starting lineup for Monday's tilt with the 76ers, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hunter's back in the lineup after missing Saturday's win over Dallas due to a personal issue. Overall this year, the rookie's averaging 12.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.7 threes in 31.6 minutes per game. He's been hot over his last four games, averaging 14.5 points, 6.5 boards and 2.3 steals, so his fantasy owners will be hoping that whatever the issue was, it won't get him off track.

Hunter is questionable for Thursday's game against the Heat due to a sprained right ankle, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hunter has emerged from the All-Star break with a sprained ankle, and it's possible he misses his fourth game of the season. If he ends up on the shelf, Cam Reddish and DeAndre' Bembry figure to see extra run.
