De'Andre Hunter posts 24 points in 42 minutes for Sacramento

Fantasy basketball: Hunter delivered a season-high scoring night Friday but plays for a club with no games left this week and none next week either.

De'Andre Hunter scored 24 points on 7-13 shooting with five rebounds, two assists, two steals, two threes and one turnover in 42 minutes as a starter in Sacramento's 120-107 loss to Portland on Friday, November 13.

The line yielded 38.0 fantasy points against 20.2 a game over his previous 10 games, driven by a season-high minute count and more shot attempts than usual. Hunter ranks 193rd overall and offers modest counting stats from a starting forward role, though he is hard to use in nine-category leagues with poor shooting percentages and a -3.77 nine-cat value.

De'Andre Hunter

Hunter posted his highest scoring total of the season with a 56.0% true shooting mark in 42 minutes, well above the 31.5 minutes he averaged over his previous 10 games. His 17.8% usage rate remains modest for a forward logging starter minutes every night this season, and the counting stats reflect that: 14.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.4 steals, 0.1 blocks and 2.1 threes in 32.4 minutes a game over 11 outings this season.

Sacramento has no games left this week and zero games next week, leaving Hunter with no immediate opportunity to build on the performance. He projects to 23.1 fantasy points a game in default points scoring but offers little utility in nine-category formats given his 42.9% field goal shooting and 71.0% free throw shooting over his previous 10 games. The archetype is a starting forward with limited defensive statistics and inefficient shooting.

What to do

• Keep Hunter rostered in points leagues for the projected 23.1 fantasy points a game in default scoring.

• Leave him benched in nine-category leagues given the negative nine-cat value and poor shooting percentages.

• Do not add Hunter off waivers with no games remaining this week and zero scheduled next week.
