Hawks' De'Andre Hunter: Questionable Sunday
Rotowire
Hunter (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies.
Hunter sat out Saturday's game due to his knee issue, which resulted in Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) getting a spot start, but Bogdanovic is also questionable for Sunday's game. If both of these guys are forced to the sidelines, that would likely open up minutes for Saddiq Bey and AJ Griffin, with Bey being the preferred target. Stay tuned.

Hawks' De'Andre Hunter: Drops 18 points in win
Rotowire
Hunter had 18 points (7-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, one block and one steal in 35 minutes during Friday's 114-107 victory over the Wizards.
Hunter had himself a nice game Friday, scoring an efficient 18 points to go with a pair of defensive stats. This is about all you can hope for when rostering Hunter, a player known for his lack of diversity when it comes to fantasy production. While he isn't out of place in a 12-team league, he should be viewed as more of a streaming option as opposed to a long-term asset.

Hawks' De'Andre Hunter: Nice offensive performance in win
Rotowire
Hunter logged 17 points (7-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 32 minutes during Friday's 129-111 victory over the Trail Blazers.
Hunter had a solid night scoring the ball, while adding little else. With so many mouths to feed on this Atlanta team, the fourth-year forward's scoring ceiling is always a bit limited, so usually, he needs to add more value in other categories to remain fantasy-relevant, and he hasn't been doing that as much this year. So, while he is averaging a career-high 15.6 points per game this season, he's also averaging a career low in steals (0.5), and he rarely adds much in blocks or assists.

Rotowire
Hunter provided 20 points (9-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 122-101 loss to the Knicks.
The fourth-year forward heads into the All-Star break on a bit of a heater, having scored at least 20 points in three straight games. Hunter remains a solid complementary presence in the Atlanta offense, and in the last 10 games he's averaging 16.2 points, 4.7 boards, 1.8 assists, 1.4 threes and 1.0 steals.

Hawks' De'Andre Hunter: Efficient from field Saturday
Rotowire
Hunter ended Saturday's 125-106 win over San Antonio with 24 points (8-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-9 FT), five rebounds, three steals and one assist across 33 minutes.
Hunter has now reached the 20-point plateau three times in six appearances so far in February, and though he provided some solid supplementary production in the steals category Saturday, his contributions in the peripheral categories are often lean. The fourth-year forward may be finding his stride as a scorer, but Hunter along with Bogdan Bogdanovic could both be candidates to lose out on a handful of minutes if the Hawks' pending trade for Saddiq Bey is upheld.

Hawks' De'Andre Hunter: Ties season high in scoring
Rotowire
Hunter finished with 25 points (10-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 37 minutes during Saturday's 122-118 loss to the Hornets.
Hunter matched his season high in scoring and continued his run of excellent shooting performances. Following a 4-for-14 showing from the floor in a Jan. 11 loss to the Bucks, Hunter has averaged 17.8 points on 54.2 percent shooting from the field, 92.9 percent shooting from the free-throw line and 48.5 percent shooting from the downtown. However, aside from the efficient scoring production, Hunter isn't providing much else in other areas, making him nothing but a low-end roster option in 12-team category leagues.

Rotowire
Hunter finished with 20 points (7-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Friday's 139-124 win over the Knicks.
Hunter has scored in double digits in 10 straight games, averaging 17.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.6 assists on 48/42/83 shooting. He's mostly a source of points and threes for fantasy managers, but his secure role means he's worth rostering in many formats.

Rotowire
Hunter finished Friday's 113-111 win over the Pacers with 25 points (8-16 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 34 minutes.
Hunter was efficient from the field and deadly from three-point range, as he made a season-high en route to tying his season-best scoring mark. The former Virginia standout has surpassed the 15-point mark in each of his six January outings and is settling in as another significant offensive contributor alongside Trae Young and Dejounte Murray. He's averaging 19.3 points per game in six January contests, nearly four points per game better than his season average.
