Hawks List De'Andre Hunter As Available
3 months agoThe 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.
