Young, Atlanta set for matchup with Oklahoma City

Trae Young leads Atlanta into a matchup against Oklahoma City averaging 28.0 points per game

MARCH 29, 2022 • Associated Press

Late scratch Monday Hunter won't play Monday against the Pacers due to right knee soreness, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Impact Hunter was initially absent from Monday's injury report but has now been scratched less than an hour ahead of tipoff. It'll be the first absence since Jan. 9 for the 24-year-old, and his next chance to retake the court will come Wednesday at Oklahoma City. Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot and Jalen Johnson should see increased run for Atlanta with John Collins (finger/foot) and Danilo Gallinari (elbow) also sidelined.

Empty 15 points in loss Hunter finished with 15 points (5-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and one assist over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 122-101 loss to the Pistons.

Impact Hunter trailed only Trae Young (21 points) in scoring, with the rest of the starting lineup combining for just 12 points. Atlanta ranks eighth in the league in points per game, averaging 112.8, but the Hawks struggled to score in an overall poor showing against Detroit on Wednesday. Hunter is a static performer, but he can be counted on for this level of production on a nightly basis.

Leads team with 21 points Hunter recorded 21 points (7-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 116-106 loss to Charlotte.

Impact Hunter paced the Hawks in scoring Wednesday, as Trae Young crashed back down to earth following his back-to-back 45-plus point outings. The 24-year-old has now posted double-digit scoring efforts in eight consecutive games, and his four three-pointers were his most since Nov. 3, 2021. Hunter won't be able to carry the Hawks to wins without Young's usual contributions, but his improved efficiency from the field is encouraging as his team vies for a playoff spot.

Keeps scoring Hunter notched 20 points (6-17 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, two blocks and two steals in 34 minutes during Monday's 122-113 win over the Trail Blazers.

Impact Hunter has logged 12-plus points in seven consecutive contests. While he wasn't efficient with his looks Monday, Hunter has connected on at least 50.0 percent of his shots in five of those aforementioned seven contests. The 24-year-old is averaging 32.1 minutes across his last 10 games.

MARCH 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 15 in win Hunter provided 15 points (5-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and two assists across 37 minutes during Sunday's 131-128 victory over the Pacers.

Impact Hunter logged a team-high 37 minutes and trailed only Trae Young in scoring. Outside of the scoring column, Hunter supplied very brand contributions. After averaging 4.8 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 2020-21, Hunter's averages have dipped to 3.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists this season.

Top scorer in win Hunter contributed 26 points (8-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 35 minutes during Friday's 117-114 victory over the Wizards.

Impact Hunter has been inconsistent on the scoreboard across the last month, but he shot 66.7 percent from the floor Friday and matched his highest scoring total of the season during the narrow victory. He's played at least 35 minutes in each of the last four games and has averaged 15.5 points and 3.0 rebounds in 36.5 minutes per game during that time.

Hunter, Young help Hawks hold off Wizards 117-114

De’Andre Hunter scored 26 points and Trae Young added 25 to help the Atlanta Hawks beat the Washington Wizards 117-114 on Friday night

Fails to score from field Hunter supplied four points (0-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist and two steals over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 107-98 loss to Boston.

Impact Hunter failed to score from the field for the second time in three games, and he's shooting 4-for-23 during this stretch. In February, he posted shooting splits of just 39/31/80, so Tuesday's performance is a continuation of a troubling downward trend for the young wing.

MARCH 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Officially available Saturday Hunter (illness) is available for Saturday's game against the Raptors, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Impact Hunter exited Thursday's game against the Bulls due to an illness but was listed as probable ahead of Saturday's matchup. He's scored in double figures in four of the last five games and will presumably remain in the starting lineup against Toronto.

FEBRUARY 26, 2022 • Associated Press

Probable Saturday Hunter (illness) is probable for Saturday's game against the Raptors, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Impact Hunter was removed from Thursday's game against the Bulls due to an illness, but he'll have a chance to return to the court against Toronto. If he's held out, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Kevin Huerter should see additional run.

Shut down for rest of night Hunter won't return to Thursday's game against Chicago due to illness, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Impact Hunter will miss the remainder of the second half after putting up just two points, one rebound and one assist in 13 minutes. Bogdan Bogdanovic and Kevin Huerter could see more opportunities down the stretch as a result.

Double figures for fourth straight Hunter added 14 points (5-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds and one block across 27 minutes in Wednesday's 130-109 win over Orlando.

Impact Hunter's 27 minutes of action were the most amongst Hawks' staters, and his 14 points marked a fourth straight game in double figures. During his recent four outings, the Virginia product is averaging 13.0 points with a high of 18 points coming Tuesday against Cleveland. Aside from his solid offensive play, however, the forward wasn't much of a factor, and he's only averaging 3.3 rebounds across his last four outings.

Trae Young scores 22 points, Hawks rout Magic 130-109

Little else outside of 18 points Hunter posted 18 points (7-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one steal in 35 minutes Tuesday in the Hawks' 124-116 win over the Cavaliers.

Impact Though Hunter came through with his second-best scoring output in his last 11 games, his lack of peripheral statistics continues to cap his fantasy upside. The Hawks will likely keep leaning on Hunter for secondary offense while John Collins (foot) is out through the All-Star break, but fantasy managers seeking help in the nonscoring categories are better off seeking help elsewhere. Hunter has posted modest averages of 3.6 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.1 three-pointers, 0.6 steals and 0.0 blocks through seven February games.

FEBRUARY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Unproductive in heavy loss Friday Hunter closed with 10 points (5-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt) and two rebounds over 26 minutes during Friday's 136-121 loss to the Spurs.

Impact Hunter failed to deliver again Friday, continuing what has been a sub-par stretch of games. Over the past two weeks, Hunter has fallen off a cliff in terms of production, averaging just 13.4 points per game on 43 percent shooting. On the surface, scoring like this is palatable, but given the fact he is contributing 0.3 combined blocks and steals over the same period, it's easy to see why he's presenting as a drop candidate in most competitive leagues.

FEBRUARY 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Submits hollow stat line Sunday Hunter finished with 14 points (4-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds and two assists in 33 minutes Sunday in the Hawks' 103-94 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact While Hunter's point and rebound totals and free-throw production was solid enough, his dearth of peripheral production continues to cap his fantasy upside. Since returning in mid-January from an extended absence following wrist surgery, Hunter is averaging a pedestrian 1.6 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.5 blocks per game. His shortcomings in those areas probably aren't enough to make him worth keeping around in shallower leagues for fantasy managers who are desperate to make up ground in the standings in the three categories.

Scores in double digits again Hunter supplied 23 points (7-18 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-8 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Friday's 125-114 loss to the Raptors.

Impact Hunter has scored in double digits in each of his last three contests, seemingly leaving behind a rough stretch in which he scored only nine points in three straight games. Inconsistency has been an issue with Hunter of late, but he's averaging 15.5 points while shooting 41.2 percent from three-point range across his last 10 games.

Top scorers face off in Dallas-Atlanta matchup

Modest performance Thursday Hunter notched 13 points (4-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-7 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 21 minutes during Thursday's 124-115 victory over the Suns.

Impact Hunter was able to play through his ankle injury, finishing with yet another underwhelming line. It appears the medical staff is going to continue to monitor his minutes, especially given his recent injury struggles. The starting role is his to lose, and while he can be a viable 12-team asset, his upside is probably not to the point where he is a must-roster player.
