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.

Ruled out Wednesday
Hunter (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Suns, Bob Finnan of The Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analyse
Hunter was a late addition to the injury report and will miss his first game since Nov. 24 on Wednesday. With the 28-year-old forward sidelined, Jaylon Tyson, Sam Merrill and Dean Wade are candidates for increased playing time. Hunter's next opportunity to play will come Friday against the Nuggets.

Questionable with illness
Hunter is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Suns with an illness.
Analyse
Hunter is a very late addition to the injury report, so he'll be working against the clock to gain clearance for Wednesday's action. Jaylon Tyson and Dean Wade could see additional minutes if Hunter isn't feeling well enough to play.

Nearly double-doubles
Hunter had 11 points (4-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and two steals in 24 minutes during Monday's 113-101 victory over the Spurs.
Analyse
This was a strong performance from Hunter, but his overall production has been a bit underwhelming. Part of the issue is that the Cavaliers have been getting a lot from players such as Sam Merrill and Jaylon Tyson. Hunter can be treated as a low-end fantasy contributor going forward.
