3 years agoAtlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter was enduring a slow start to the season, but it all turned around in a 117-108 loss to the Brooklyn Nets. On Wednesday, Hunter played 33 minutes and recorded 26 points on 10-for-11 shooting with two rebounds, a steal, a block, and six threes. The 26 points doubled his season-high, but it was a relatively empty box score after that. The 10-for-11 shooting and 6-for-6 from three performances were pleasant outlier boosts to the ratio categories, but fantasy managers are still missing the help they need in Hunter's rebounding and assist numbers. Hopefully, this new season-high in points will re-engage him in the Atlanta offense and be the first drop in a statistical waterfall. Hunter and the Hawks will try to immediately rebound (in more ways than one) against the Utah Jazz on Thursday.--Euan Leith
