De'Andre Hunter Has Near Perfect Shooting Night
De'Andre Hunter was enduring a slow start to the season, but it all turned around in a 117-108 loss to the Brooklyn Nets. On Wednesday, Hunter played 33 minutes and recorded 26 points on 10-for-11 shooting with two rebounds, a steal, a block, and six threes. The 26 points doubled his season-high, but it was a relatively empty box score after that. The 10-for-11 shooting and 6-for-6 from three performances were pleasant outlier boosts to the ratio categories, but fantasy managers are still missing the help they need in Hunter's rebounding and assist numbers. Hopefully, this new season-high in points will re-engage him in the Atlanta offense and be the first drop in a statistical waterfall. Hunter and the Hawks will try to immediately rebound (in more ways than one) against the Utah Jazz on Thursday.

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.
