Cavaliers' De'Andre Hunter: Hits for 21 in Game 3 win
Rotowire
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.
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 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.

Rotowire
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.

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.

Cavaliers' De'Andre Hunter: Scores 18 points in return
Rotowire
Hunter accumulated 18 points (4-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal in 23 minutes during Friday's 133-124 win over the Grizzlies.
Hunter missed Tuesday's win over the Nets due to an illness, but the veteran forward returned to action Friday and posted a decent stat line, highlighted by the efficiency of his shooting. Hunter has mostly played off the bench for the Cavaliers, a similar role to the one he had in Atlanta, and he remains productive. He's averaging 14.5 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game in 11 contests (two starts) since the end of the All-Star break, and those numbers make him a player worth targeting in most formats, either as a streaming option or as a roster candidate in deep formats.
