DE'ANDRE HUNTER NEWS

Solid in win Hunter contributed 16 points (6-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 126-120 win over Detroit.

Impact Despite seeing a consistent workload, Hunter was averaging just 8.5 points and 3.0 rebounds in his last four contests. With Trae Young (personal) out Tuesday, Hunter received a bump in usage while also matching his career high with five assists. The 25-year-old is an important piece of Atlanta's lineups, but his contributions are rarely flashy.

Struggles against Thunder Hunter notched eight points (2-13 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and two rebounds over 33 minutes during Monday's 126-117 loss to the Thunder.

Scores team-high 27 points Hunter amassed 27 points (8-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 8-8 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block across 32 minutes during Friday's 126-120 loss to the Knicks.

Impact Trae Young struggled from the field and Dejounte Murray didn't have his best performance, so Hunter stepped his game up and led Atlanta in scoring despite the tight defeat against New York. Hunter bounced back from a subpar season-opening performance against the Celtics during which he scored just nine points across 31 minutes. Don't expect Hunter to lead the Hawks offensively going forward, but he's capable of big performances from time to time.
