Effective in 22 minutes
Hunter logged 12 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds and two assists over 22 minutes during Tuesday's 120-116 victory over the Pacers.
Analyse
Hunter didn't see a big workload Tuesday, and that's been the case a lot lately. With the Cavaliers mostly healthy again, Hunter may struggle to be relevant outside of deeper formats. The emergence of Sam Merrill and Jaylon Tyson has really kept Hunter's appeal in check this season.

Scores 16 points in return
Hunter had 16 points (5-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal in 26 minutes during Friday's 113-108 victory over Denver.
Analyse
Hunter returned after missing the previous game due to an illness, scoring 16 points, the most he has scored since Dec 22. After a strong start to the season, Hunter has regressed in recent times. In 13 games over the past month, he has averaged just 11.4 points and 1.3 three-pointers, leaving him well outside the top 200 in standard leagues.

Questionable to play Friday
Hunter (illness) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Nuggets.
Analyse
Hunter was unable to play in Wednesday's win against the Suns due to an illness, but the veteran forward has a chance to return for Friday's home game. Jaylon Tyson, Dean Wade and Sam Merrill (ankle) will likely continue to see an uptick in minutes if Hunter is not cleared to play.
