Cleveland Cavaliers forward De'Andre Hunter (thumb) will suit up for Friday's showdown against the Indiana Pacers in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. Hunter injured his right thumb in the series opener and did not play in Game 2. He was initially listed as questionable for Friday's matchup. The 27-year-old, who scored 11 points and grabbed four rebounds in Game 1, hurt the thumb on his shooting hand, which may still affect him on Friday night. Evan Mobley (ankle) and Darius Garland (toe) are also back for the Cavaliers on Friday, meaning fewer minutes for Isaac Okoro, Dean Wade, and Sam Merrill.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward De'Andre Hunter (thumb) is listed as questionable on the injury report for Friday's matchup against the Indiana Pacers. The series had an unfortunate start for Hunter, as he injured his right thumb in Game 1 and may now be out for a second consecutive contest. Cleveland also lost Evan Mobley (ankle) for Game 2, giving Javonte Green an opportunity to rejoin the rotation. However, his role was very limited, and Green finished scoreless in 10 minutes. Isaac Okoro, whose playing time increased to 29 minutes in the second unit, did not provide much offensively either, going for five points. Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson may need to rely mainly on his starters to get back into the series if none of the injured players return for Friday's action.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward De'Andre Hunter (thumb) will miss Tuesday's Game 2 against the Indiana Pacers. He sprained his right thumb in the series opener on Sunday and has been downgraded from questionable to out. Evan Mobley (ankle) will also exit the lineup on Tuesday, meaning players such as Dean Wade and Isaac Okoro must step up. As a result of the injuries, Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson may also decide to bring Javonte Green back into the rotation.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward 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.

Cleveland Cavaliers forwardDe'Andre Hunter (rest)will sit out Friday against the New York Knicks. Hunter will be out of action to rest after an impressive outing against the Indiana Pacers on Thursday. 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 Greenand 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. Yet, with Evan Mobley (foot) sidelined, Hunter will roll with the first five against the Magic, with the 2019 No. 4 overall pick averaging 18.3 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 50.0% shooting from deep in seven starts during the 2024-25 campaign, giving him added value for fantasy managers.

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 Cavs are going to be without Donovan Mitchell (groin), so Hunter could be asked to take on a bigger role on Friday. 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 forwardDe'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) andTy 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).

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (foot) is probable for Saturday's game in Boston. The 27-year-old was sidelined for recent meetings with Phoenix and Chicago due to foot soreness. Fortunately, it appears a two-game stint on the shelf is all that is needed for him to get back out there for the matchup with the Celtics. Jalen Johnson (shoulder) has a chance to return for this one. However, Hunter will still likely draw the start in place of Zaccharie Risacher (adductor), who remains out with an adductor strain. With that in mind, the Celtics have allowed 108.4 points per game this season, the sixth-best mark in the National Basketball Association, meaning anyone on the offensive end for the Hawks may not be as productive as usual. Still, Hunter is a capable fantasy starter for redraft managers, although his DFS value is limited because of the tough matchup on the horizon.

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (foot) will remain out on Wednesday against Chicago. He was a late scratch for Tuesday's contest against Phoenix and hasn't shaken off foot soreness in 24 hours. The Hawks will be without their three top scorers on Wednesday, so players like Bogdan Bogdanovic, Garrison Mathews, and Vit Krejci are expected to take on more offensive duties. They have a chance to impress in a highly favorable matchup, as the Bulls allow the second-most points in the league.

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (foot) will not play against Phoenix on Tuesday. He is a late scratch for the contest, as the team had not listed him on the injury report ahead of the game. Hunter has experienced some health issues, so the team may want to play it extra safe with him as Atlanta begins a back-to-back set. With Hunter out of the picture, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Garrison Mathews should be the key performers off the bench on Tuesday. David Roddy might also see additional action.

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) has been labeled as probable ahead of Wednesday's NBA Cup game against the Knicks. Hunter continues to manage a knee injury, and he took a blow to the head in Sunday's loss to Denver, but the 27-year-old is set to make a 12th consecutive appearance. Atlanta has seen the best of Hunter lately, as he's finished each of the last four games with 20-plus points. Hunter took a whopping 20 shots in 24 minutes on Sunday and should get additional offensive duties again in Wednesday's game if Jalen Johnson (shoulder) and Bogdan Bogdanovic (quadriceps) remain sidelined.

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) is good to go for Sunday's matchup against Denver. He keeps managing a knee injury but has been upgraded from questionable to available. Hunter will make his 11th consecutive appearance and will have extra fantasy value on Sunday, as Jalen Johnson (shoulder) and Bogdan Bogdanovic (quadriceps) won't be in the lineup. The absences also give a boost to Larry Nance Jr., who will replace Johnson in the starting lineup.

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (personal) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Boston Celtics. Hunter has missed the last nine games due to personal reasons. It sounds like him and his partner have welcomed their first child, but the baby was born two months premature. It's unclear when Hunter is going to return to the court. In the meantime, Zaccharie Risacher should continue starting for the Hawks. The rookie forward has put together some nice performances and is worth a look with the Hawks shorthanded right now.
