De'Andre Hunter Cleared To Start For Sunday’s Game
De'Andre Hunter will suit up for Sunday’s contest versus the Brooklyn Nets after having previously been tagged as questionable due to foot pain. Hunter will start his 17th consecutive game and likely see an increased offensive role with Trae Young (hamstring) unavailable. Hunter’s fantasy production has fluctuated on a nightly basis over the past month, so while he should see a higher level of usage against an up-tempo unit such as Brooklyn, it does come with a significant amount of volatility.

De'Andre Hunter Questionable To Play Tuesday
De'Andre Hunter (thumb) is considered questionable for Tuesday's meeting with the Indiana Pacers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. Following Sunday's Game 1, he has been left nursing a right thumb sprain. Hunter is a right-handed shooter, meaning he may have difficulty performing at a high level even if he suits up for the game. In the series opener, Hunter shot a solid 4-for-8 from the field to contribute 11 points in 30 minutes off the bench. He also recorded four rebounds and one assist. Isaac Okoro and Dean Wade can expect to be more involved on Tuesday night if Hunter can't play, while his absence might also help Javonte Green regain a spot in the rotation.
