Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter appears set for a change of scenery. According to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, the Hawks are ready to make Hunter available ahead of the 2024 draft. The 26-year-old could be a hot commodity on the trade market after coming off a career year. Hunter averaged 15.6 points and 3.9 rebounds per game in 29.5 minutes, with 38.5 percent shooting from deep. The fourth pick of the 2019 draft has finished the first season of a four-year, $95 million contract.
Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (rest) will miss Wednesday's game against Charlotte. He comes out of the lineup for rest purposes after logging 47 minutes in a double-overtime game against Miami on Tuesday. The Hawks will be seriously lacking depth on Wednesday, which should result in heavy usage for Bogdan Bogdanovic and the returning Trae Young (finger). Vit Krejci and Garrison Mathews should lead the second echelon in a favorable matchup against a defensively challenged team.
Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) will play Wednesday against Cleveland. This marks the first time Hunter will be available for both games of a back-to-back since he returned from a right knee injury. The 26-year-old was among the team's leading scorers with 22 points in 25 minutes off the bench in Tuesday's win over the Knicks. Hunter has performed well despite being stuck in a bench role since his return, and fantasy managers should get plenty of value out of him again on Wednesday against a team that gives up 35.7 points per game to second units.
Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Monday's meeting with Chicago. Atlanta continues to manage his right knee injury, and Hunter sat out Saturday's clash with Philadelphia as the team completed a back-to-back. Hunter is a talented player, but it's tough to rely on him in fantasy hoops if he's not 100 percent healthy. The 26-year-old has featured in five games since returning from a six-week absence, averaging 12.0 points and 2.4 rebounds in 19.6 minutes.
Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) has been listed as probable to play on Friday against the Philadelphia 76ers. The 26-year-old has only played 28 out of a possible 51 games so far this year after missing extended time due to a knee injury, but he has played four out of the team's last five games. He remains on a minutes restriction, but in their last contest, he played 23 minutes and posted 10 points, one rebound, one assist, and one turnover. Hunter could be more of a fantasy asset once he receives more minutes, but his production is going to be very inconsistent as long as he's on this restriction. He does play a big part in the Hawks' defense though.
The Atlanta Hawks are listing forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) as available for Wednesday's tilt against the Boston Celtics. The Hawks have upgraded Hunter's probable designation to available as they continue to monitor his right knee, which cost the forward over a month of action before returning on Jan. 30. Boston has allowed the fewest fantasy points to opposing forwards in 2023-24, so between the intimidating matchup and Hunter's likely minutes cap, he's a fade for fantasy purposes in all settings on Wednesday despite popping for 27 points in 19 minutes amid Monday's offensive slugfest with the Los Angeles Clippers. When the restrictions are lifted, the 26-year-old scoring wing should be a borderline play in points leagues, averaging 14.7 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 1.9 three-pointers on 40.5% shooting from downtown in 28.8 minutes through 27 games on the campaign for Atlanta.
Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) is on the injury report as questionable ahead of Monday's action versus the Clippers. The 26-year-old has just returned from a 19-game absence, and the team is trying to manage his right knee injury. Hunter sat out the first leg of a back-to-back on Friday versus Phoenix before returning to the court on Saturday against Golden State. He's been limited to 16 minutes in both of his outings since the long injury layoff, meaning fantasy managers won't currently get much value from Hunter.
De'Andre Hunter Tagged As Questionable For Saturday
Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The Hawks are considering Hunter as questionable after he sat out of Friday's game. The expectation is that Hunter will play Saturday after resting his right knee the night prior. The Hawks are without Saddiq Bey (ankle) for Saturday's game. That means, Hunter would likely slide into the starting five, assuming he's available for this game. He'd have increased fantasy value if able to suit up.
Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) is at Tuesday morning's shootaround. Out since late December after undergoing a non-surgical procedure on his right knee, the 26-year-old would appear to be on the right side of questionable for Tuesday's game versus the Los Angeles Lakers as Atlanta continues their six-game homestand. Over 22 games without Hunter this season, Saddiq Bey has averaged 13.4 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.9 assists, and 1.5 threes but would lose fantasy appeal upon Hunter's return.
Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) has been listed as questionable for Tuesday's clash with the Lakers. It's the first time he's earned the questionable tag after undergoing a procedure on his right knee last month and missing 19 games. Hunter's return will be bad news for Saddiq Bey, who will likely have to relinquish his starting job. However, that might not happen immediately as Hunter could be limited in his first outings following the long layoff.
