Despite the Cavs' 114-112 loss, Hunter posted 23 points, 11 rebounds, two assists, two steals, and one block across 32 minutes. Isaac Okoro, Javonte Green and Dean Wade are all in line for extra minutes with Hunter on the shelf against the Knicks.
Cleveland Cavaliers forward De'Andre Hunter will start on Sunday versus Orlando. The 27-year-old is in the running to win the Sixth Man of the Year award.

De'Andre Hunter Returns To Action Against Grizzlies
Cleveland Cavaliers forward De'Andre Hunter (illness) will rejoin the lineup for Friday's tilt against the Memphis Grizzlies. The talented scorer has recently battled an illness but is ready to return to action after sitting out one game. Hunter has averaged 14.3 points and 4.3 rebounds in 24.9 minutes with the Cavaliers since coming over from Atlanta. He may be used more offensively against the Grizzlies, as Donovan Mitchell (groin) will not be available for the contest.
Cleveland Cavaliers forward De'Andre Hunter (illness) is listed as probable ahead of Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Hunter appears to be ready to get back in action following a one-game absence due to an illness.

The 27-year-old is worth a look as a streaming option, assuming he's cleared to play on Friday.
Sam Amico of HoopsWire.com reports that Cleveland Cavaliers forward De'Andre Hunter (illness) won't suit up against the Brooklyn Nets on Monday due to an illness. Hunter will be out of action for the first time since he was traded to the Cavs on February 6th. With Donovan Mitchell (groin) and Ty Jerome (rest) also unavailable, Dean Wade, Sam Merrill and Isaac Okoro will likely see more minutes on the floor for this evening's matchup with the Nets.
Spencer Davies of SI.com reports that Cleveland Cavaliers forward De'Andre Hunter won't make his Cavs debut on Friday against the Washington Wizards. Cleveland acquired Hunter via trade with the Atlanta Hawks on Thursday, and his next chance to suit up for his new club will be on Monday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Fantasy managers should know that the 27-year-old could make an immediate impact while playing with a new team, as he posted the best numbers of his career before the trade, averaging 19.0 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 1.5 assists in 28.8 minutes per game with Atlanta.
The Cleveland Cavaliers acquired De'Andre Hunter from the Hawks in exchange for Caris LeVert, Georges Niang, three second-round picks, and two swaps. Hunter was the No. 4 overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft and has played all six seasons with the Hawks. He was posting the best numbers of his career before the trade, averaging 19.0 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 1.5 assists in 28.8 minutes per game, working mostly off the bench. Hunter will likely move into a starting role in Cleveland but his usage could drop with Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen already established in the starting five and in the team's productive offense. Hunter is a big "win-now" addition for the Cavs, who currently have the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference and add a proven scoring forward.
Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (illness) will play on Monday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The 27-year-old missed Saturday's game against the Toronto Raptors because of an illness. But fortunately for Atlanta, he is back on the floor. With Jalen Johnson (shoulder), Dyson Daniels (ankle), and Trae Young (hamstring) unavailable, Hunter could easily surpass expectations on Monday night.
Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (illness) is questionable for Monday's meeting with the Timberwolves. The 27-year-old hasn't felt well, keeping him off the floor for Saturday's loss to the Toronto Raptors. But the Hawks need him back on Monday, considering Jalen Johnson (shoulder) and Trae Young (hamstring) aren't available. To make matters worse, Zaccharie Risacher (adductor) is questionable. With that said, if Hunter is available, he's a must-start in any fantasy format. But if he remains sidelined, Vit Krejci and Dyson Daniels are the favorites to see a bump in production.
Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (illness) won't play against the Raptors on Saturday. He was listed as questionable because of an illness. Unfortunately, the 27-year-old won't suit up for this one. With Jalen Johnson (shoulder) and Zaccharie Risacher (hamstring) on the shelf, Dyson Daniels and Trae Young (hamstring) should lead the way on the scoring end. Fantasy managers also shouldn't rule out above-average production from Vit Krejci, David Roddy, and Larry Nance Jr. (hand).
