Cleveland Cavaliers DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) remains out for Saturday's matchup with the Chicago Bulls. He's appeared in only two games this season, most recently finishing with 24 points and seven boards in the win over the Hornets on October 25. However, he hasn't been on the floor since, so Saturday will mark his ninth-consecutive absence. It's unknown when Hunter will be ready to return. But until he does, Zaccharie Risacher, averaging 12.9 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.3 steals, and 1.0 blocks in eight starts this season, has a place in fantasy lineups.

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) will remain sidelined for an eighth consecutive game after officially being ruled out for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Hunter continues to be listed with injury management for his right knee. While Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) is also out, Zaccharie Risacher and Dyson Daniels are the two best streaming options while David Roddy and Garrison Mathews could serve some spot starts here and there.

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) won't play on Wednesday against the Knicks. The 26-year-old will now miss a seventh consecutive contest because of a knee injury, so his next chance to get back on the floor will be on Friday in Detroit. Without Hunter, Zaccharie Risacher, averaging 10.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 1.2 steals, has streaming potential in deep redraft setups. On the other hand, his 20.0% shooting from deep hasn't been welcomed by category managers. David Roddy (illness), who had 11 points, six boards, and three assists in Monday's meeting with the Celtics, also has a place in most fantasy lineups.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dean Wade (illness) will miss his second consecutive game on Wednesday night when the Cavaliers face off against the New Orleans Pelicans. Wade missed Monday night's win against the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday dealing with the same illness. Wade's averaged 6.9 PPG and 4.4 RPG this season. Wade's absence shouldn't scare Cleveland much given his minimal production and a matchup against a weakened New Orleans Pelicans team. Expect Isaac Okoro to start in his place as was the case on Monday night. Okoro is averaging 5.0 PPG this season. Though shooting 46.7% from three is appealing, his minimal volume in Cleveland's offense means there are better options available to fantasy managers on the waiver wire.

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) could be back in action against the Knicks on Wednesday. He has been listed as questionable for the game. Hunter has been absent for the last six contests, which has given Zaccharie Risacher an opportunity to roll with the starters. The top pick of this year's draft has struggled for consistency and was largely ineffective coming off the bench at the start of the season. Hunter, on the other hand, was in fine form before getting hurt, averaging 18.0 points and 6.5 rebounds with 40 percent shooting from deep.
