Hunter will start in Monday's game against Detroit, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter will receive the starting nod for the first time since Oct. 25 on Monday. The 27-year-old has been stellar off the bench this season, and over his last five outings, he has averaged 17.6 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists across 30.4 minutes per contest.

Hunter provided 35 points (12-21 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 7-8 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 32 minutes during Monday's 100-92 loss to Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter returned from a one-game absence, leading the Hawks with a season-high 35 points off the bench. Both Trae Young (hamstring) and Dyson Daniels (ankle) were missing, meaning Hunter was left to shoulder the bulk of the offensive load. Through the first 32 games of the season, Hunter is putting up a career-high 19.2 points per game, providing Atlanta with a relatively consistent scoring threat as part of the second unit.

Hunter (illness) is available for Monday's game against the Timberwolves, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

An illness prevented Hunter from playing in Saturday's game against the Raptors, but he has recovered enough to suit up for Monday's contest. He has averaged 14.0 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 steals over 28.7 minutes per game since and including Jan. 1.

Hunter (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter could miss a second consecutive game due to an illness. David Roddy, Vit Krejci and Bogdan Bogdanovic could see increased minutes if Hunter remains sidelined.

Hunter (illness) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Raptors.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter popped up on Saturday morning's injury report due to an illness, and it appears to be severe enough for him not to play. His next chance to take the court will be Monday against the Timberwolves. David Roddy, Vit Krejci and Bogdan Bogdanovic should see increased minutes off the bench due to Hunter's injury.

Hunter is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Raptors due to an illness, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter is in danger of missing Saturday's contest after contracting an illness. With Jalen Johnson (shoulder) already ruled out, David Roddy could receive increased playing time against Toronto.

Hunter scored 22 points (7-14 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-6 FT), dished one assist and blocked one shot in 30 minutes of action during the 119-110 loss to the Knicks on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter certainly didn't lose his scoring touch during his two-game absence due to a foot injury last week. The forward is averaging 19 points on 46.4 percent shooting from the field between the two contests since his return. However, he was unable to contribute in other areas of the game Monday, which certainly impacted his fantasy performance, particularly in category leagues. He'll look to deliver a more balanced stat sheet Wednesday against the Pistons.

Hunter (foot) tallied 16 points (6-14 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, two steals and one assist in 32 minutes off the bench Saturday in the Hawks' 119-115 overtime win over the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter had missed the Hawks' previous two games with left foot soreness, but he operated with no restrictions in his return Saturday, with his 32 minutes leading all Atlanta reserves. Though Zaccharie Risacher (adductor) looks set to miss additional games, Hunter appears poised to stick in his sixth-man role while Vit Krejci replaces Risacher on the top unit. In any case, Hunter's playing time should remain stable, so he'll continue to make for a useful streaming option for points and three-pointers in 10-team leagues or shallower where he might still be on the waiver wire.

Hunter (foot) is available for Saturday's game against the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

The Hawks will be at close to full strength Saturday for this marquee matchup, as Trae Young (ribs) and Jalen Johnson (shoulder) will be available too. Hunter will return from a two-game absence and aim to bounce back from a slow start in January, as he's averaging 14.0 points per game while shooting 35.5 percent from the floor in five contests this month.

Hunter (foot) is probable for Saturday's game versus Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Trae Young (ribs) is also probable, while Jalen Johnson (shoulder) is questionable, so the Hawks could have some reinforcements versus Boston. Hunter missed the past two games for Atlanta, and he'll be looking to find his form after a slow start to January -- he's hitting 35.5 percent from the field over his last five games.
