Fantasy Impact

Hunter was moved to the bench unit to help him get back into a groove and ease pressure on him, and boy the early returns looked good. He likely won’t put up 27 points every night, but he’s looking like a strong start moving forward.

De'Andre Hunter will come off the bench next time the Cavaliers take the floor. Jaylon Tyson will take his place as a starter.

Fantasy Impact

The coaches have praised Tyson's ability and will give him a look as a starter. Hunter has been struggling this season, and the move is intended to ease pressure on him and help him find his groove again, as well as fortify a thin bench unit. Hunter's short-term fantasy appeal will take a hit, but if he can find his stride again, it could return and make him a nice asset down the stretch.
