Cade

Cunningham

Cunningham had his 3-point shot working Wednesday as he knocked down 4-of-6 attempts from behind the arc. That largely saved his scoring effort as he had 19 points on 14 shots. Cunningham contributed in the other categories as well as he was just two rebounds and one assist shy of a triple-double. He’ll continue to lead the way for the Pistons and might be counted on for even more usage going forward with Jaden Ivey likely out for the foreseeable future.

Cunningham is officially available after the Pistons listed him as probable on the initial injury report. He’ll start in his usual spot and should be slotted into fantasy lineups as usual.

Cunningham hasn’t missed a game since November, and he should be good to go again against Orlando. Cunningham has shot below 40% from the floor in three straight games and will look to get back on track in this game.

Cunningham paced his team in scoring alongside Jaden Ivey on a poor shooting night against Denver. He’ll look to rebound in his next outing after posting three straight double-doubles with at least 20 points before Saturday’s disappointment.

Cunningham wasn’t super-efficient from the field as he was just 9-of-24 including 4-of-11 from behind the 3-point line, but he saved his night by getting to the foul line and making 11-of-12 free throw attempts. Cunningham was an excellent playmaker in this one as he had 10 assists and turned the ball over just three times. He was +8 in 38 minutes in the one-point win over the Kings. Cunningham was instrumental in the comeback victory as the Pistons trailed by 19 in the third quarter. The 23-year-old point guard has been a top-40 player in fantasy this year.

Cunningham has been great this year, but this wasn’t one of his better games. The 23-year-old point guard didn’t shoot well against the Lakers Monday as he had 20 points on 25 shots. Despite dishing out 10 assists, he also turned it over five times. Cunningham is a top-40 fantasy player on the season and even more valuable in turnover-punt builds, which was exemplified again Monday.

Cunningham is turning into a superstar this season. He had 28 points on 19 shots and got to the foul line and made 7-of-9 free throws. He had multiple steals and blocks and made three 3-pointers, including a dagger to put the Pistons up by seven with less than a minute left. Cunningham is a top-40 player in fantasy this season and even more valuable in turnover-punt builds.

Cunningham did what he could to bring the Pistons back into Thursday’s game, but it wasn’t easy to overcome being outscored by 29 points in the first quarter (48-19). The Pistons point guard notched his third 30-point game with 33 points, finishing two shy of his season-high. A top-40 player in 9-cat formats, Cunningham is ranked just outside the top 15 in turnover-punt builds.

Cunningham’s 18 assists were a career-high and his triple-double was his sixth of the season. Only Nikola Jokic and LeBron James have more triple-doubles on the season. Cunningham continues to show that he’s an All-Star this year. He’ll continue to be the focal point of the Pistons offense as the year goes on.

When these two teams faced off last week, Cunningham had a spectacular performance and fell one rebound shy of a triple-double. This time around, he still approached triple-double territory, but he wasn’t able to contribute the same numbers. Prior to this game, Cunningham had scored at least 20 points in seven straight games and had double-doubles in six of those. They’ll have a few days off before Miami comes to town on Monday, and Cade has scored at least 20 points in their other two matchups this season. He’ll continue to be the only reliable fantasy option on the team moving forward.
