De’Andre Hunter DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Cleveland Cavaliers forward De'Andre Hunter (thumb) is listed as questionable on the injury report for Friday's matchup against the Indiana Pacers. The series had an unfortunate start for Hunter, as he injured his right thumb in Game 1 and may now be out for a second consecutive contest. Cleveland also lost Evan Mobley (ankle) for Game 2, giving Javonte Green an opportunity to rejoin the rotation. However, his role was very limited, and Green finished scoreless in 10 minutes. Isaac Okoro, whose playing time increased to 29 minutes in the second unit, did not provide much offensively either, going for five points. Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson may need to rely mainly on his starters to get back into the series if none of the injured players return for Friday's action.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward De'Andre Hunter (thumb) will miss Tuesday's Game 2 against the Indiana Pacers. He sprained his right thumb in the series opener on Sunday and has been downgraded from questionable to out. Evan Mobley (ankle) will also exit the lineup on Tuesday, meaning players such as Dean Wade and Isaac Okoro must step up. As a result of the injuries, Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson may also decide to bring Javonte Green back into the rotation.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward De'Andre Hunter (thumb) is considered questionable for Tuesday's meeting with the Indiana Pacers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. Following Sunday's Game 1, he has been left nursing a right thumb sprain. Hunter is a right-handed shooter, meaning he may have difficulty performing at a high level even if he suits up for the game. In the series opener, Hunter shot a solid 4-for-8 from the field to contribute 11 points in 30 minutes off the bench. He also recorded four rebounds and one assist. Isaac Okoro and Dean Wade can expect to be more involved on Tuesday night if Hunter can't play, while his absence might also help Javonte Green regain a spot in the rotation.
