Well-rounded line versus Denver Cunningham contributed 18 points (7-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight assists, five rebounds, one steal and one block in 36 minutes Sunday in the Pistons' 117-111 loss to the Nuggets. Impact After a pair of underwhelming outings to begin the Pistons' four-game road swing, Cunningham closed the trip with two quality performances in a row. After turning in a 25-point, six-rebound, five-assist outing in a 10-point loss to Utah on Friday, Cunningham once again filled out the box score nicely in Denver. His overall fantasy value is dragged down to some extent by his subpar 40.2 percent mark from the field, but he's shown improvement with his efficiency since exiting the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols earlier in January. In his 12 games since returning to the lineup, Cunningham has turned in 44.3/34.3/84.6 percent shooting splits from the field, three-point range and the charity stripe.
