Hunter (thumb) has been listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pacers, Evan Dammarell of DownEuclid.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hunter is dealing with a dislocated finger on his right hand, which could keep him sidelined for Game 2. The Virginia product played 30 minutes off the bench in Game 1, finishing with 11 points, four rebounds and an assist. If he cannot play Tuesday, Cleveland will likely lean on Isaac Okoro and Javonte Green to help shoulder the load.

Hunter amassed 19 points (6-11 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 21 minutes during Monday's 138-83 win over the Heat in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
EDGE Analysis
Hunter made the most of his time on the court, tallying 19 points in just 21 minutes. In one of the most lopsided wins in playoff history, Cleveland took control early and never relinquished its sizeable lead. The Cavaliers will now face either the Pacers or the Bucks, with Hunter likely to play a key role off the bench.

Hunter amassed 21 points (6-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal over 28 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 124-87 victory over the Heat in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
EDGE Analysis
The Cavs were missing Darius Garland (toe) and took a 22-point lead into halftime, factors which allowed Hunter to see his largest workload and usage of the playoffs so far. The 27-year-old wing had managed only 12 total points in the first two games of the series, so a repeat performance can't necessarily be counted on, but Hunter has at least shown he's ready if needed. Cleveland will look to complete the sweep in Game 4 on Monday.

Hunter chipped in 12 points (4-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one steal over 23 minutes during Wednesday's 121-112 victory over the Heat in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
EDGE Analysis
Hunter atoned for his scoreless performance in Game 1, helping the Cavaliers to a hard-fought victory over the Heat. Typically a double-digit scorer, Hunter has played a key role for Cleveland since arriving prior to the trade deadline. Now leading the series 2-0, the Cavaliers will look to assert their dominance when the two teams meet again in Game 3 on Saturday.

Hunter (rest) is out for Sunday's game against the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
Hunter missed Friday's win over the Knicks and will also sit out the regular-season finale. The veteran forward will likely come off the bench for the Cavaliers during the playoff run, so the team will aim to have him 100 percent ready for the postseason which begins on April 19. Hunter is averaging 14.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.7 steals per game in 27 games (five starts) with Cleveland this season.

Hunter is listed as out for Friday's game versus the Knicks due to rest purposes
EDGE Analysis
Hunter will sit out the second leg of Cleveland's back-to-back Friday due to rest purposes. Dean Wade, Isaac Okoro and Javonte Green are candidates to receive increased playing time in Hunter's absence. Hunter's next chance to suit up is Sunday's regular-season finale against Indiana.

Hunter will be in the starting lineup Thursday against the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis

Hunter notched 18 points (7-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt), seven rebounds and three assists across 29 minutes off the bench during Friday's 114-113 win over San Antonio.
EDGE Analysis
The former Hawk has settled in nicely on the Cavs' second unit. Hunter has scored in double digits in eight straight games, averaging 14.0 points, 3.8 boards, 1.9 threes, 1.1 assists and 0.8 steals in 24.1 minutes per contest. He's not as likely to produce ceiling games as he was in Atlanta -- he averaged 13.3 shots a game with his old club this season, a figure which has dropped to 9.5 a game in Cleveland -- but a better supporting cast has given Hunter a steadier floor.

Hunter tallied 16 points (6-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one steal over 26 minutes in Wednesday's 124-105 win over the New York Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
Hunter once again provided a lift off the Cleveland bench Wednesday, pacing all bench players in scoring while finishing as one of four players with 15 or more points in a winning effort. Hunter has reached the double-digit scoring mark in seven straight contests, posted 15 or more points in three of those outings.
