Hunter will start Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Donovan Mitchell (rest) getting the afternoon off, Hunter will make his second start as a Cavalier. In his debut with Cleveland, Hunter posted 12 points (3-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound and one steal in 23 minutes as a starter during a 128-107 win over Minnesota on Feb. 10. Over his last six appearances off the bench, Hunter averaged 14.0 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 25.5 minutes per game.

Hunter notched 16 points (6-7 FG, 4-4 3Pt) and one assist across 19 minutes during Friday's 142-105 victory over the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
It was a very efficient 16 points off the bench for Hunter, who did his damage in the scoring department in just 19 minutes Friday. Over his four games since being acquired by the Cavaliers, the 27-year-old sharpshooter has averaged 13.8 points, 2.5 rebounds, 0.5 assists, 0.5 steals and 3.3 three-pointers in 24.0 minutes while shooting a sizzling 61.9 percent from beyond the arc. However, Hunter is likely to continue seeing fewer shots fall his way than he did with the Hawks, and his fantasy appeal in category-based leagues still appears to be limited to points and triples.

Hunter is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Raptors, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports.
EDGE Analysis
After starting in his team debut Monday against Minnesota, Hunter will move to Cleveland's bench in the return of Max Strus (ankle). Hunter averaged 18.9 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.8 steals in 28.3 minutes over 33 games off the bench with the Hawks this season, and he should still play significant minutes from the Cavaliers' second unit.

Hunter contributed 12 points (3-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound and one steal over 23 minutes in Monday's 128-107 win over Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Hunter made his Cavaliers debut Monday by stepping into the starting lineup with Max Strus (ankle) sidelined, finding success from deep while finishing as one of six Cleveland players with a double-digit point total. Hunter has connected on three or more threes in 21 outings while reaching double figures in scoring in all but four appearances. As Hunter continues to get acclimated to his new teammates, expect his production to continue to increase.

The 27-year-old has put together a career-best year thus far, and he could compete for the starting job at small forward with Max Strus. Hunter is averaging 19.0 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.6 three-pointers and 1.5 assists in 28.8 minutes per game across 37 regular-season appearances (four starts).

Hunter (recently traded) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Washington, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hunter will need to wait to make his Cavaliers debut after having been acquired by Cleveland on Thursday via trade. His next chance to feature will come Monday against Minnesota. The 27-year-old has put together a career-best season thus far, averaging 19.0 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.6 three-pointers and 1.5 assists in 28.8 minutes per game over 37 regular-season appearances (four starts).

The Hawks traded Hunter to the Cavaliers in exchange for Caris LeVert, Georges Niang, three second-round picks and two picks swaps Thursday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hunter is in the midst of the best season of his career, averaging 19.0 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 28.8 minutes across 37 appearances for the Hawks. The 26-year-old forward has also displayed impressive efficiency this season, posting 46.1/39.3/85.8 shooting splits. While Hunter has mostly come off the bench this season, his efficient outside shooting and quality perimeter defense will likely allow him to compete for a starting spot with Max Strus.

Hunter had 22 points (8-15 FG, 6-11 3Pt), 10 rebounds, five assists and two steals in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 126-125 loss to San Antonio.
EDGE Analysis
Hunter has started in each of the Hawks' last two games and has scored at least 20 points both times, so he remains productive regardless of whether he's starting or playing off the bench. He's likely to remain in the starting lineup since Jalen Johnson (shoulder) won't return this season, and it's conceivable to expect an uptick in his touches and overall usage rate. Hunter has reached the 20-point mark in four of his last six appearances, averaging 20.3 points and 5.0 rebounds per game in that stretch.
