The Atlanta Hawks have won seven of their last eight games. The defense is playing at a level we haven’t seen in quite some time, and the offense is doing enough to win.

But what can’t be ignored is De’Andre Hunter’s impact off the bench.
The Numbers
This could very well be the best stretch of basketball of De’Andre Hunter’s career. While continuing his defensive impact, he has been a critical scoring lift off the bench.
