Scores game-high 26 points Cunningham closed Saturday's 112-109 loss to Orlando with 26 points (11-20 FG, 4-7 3Pt), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal in 31 minutes.

Impact As has been the trend all season long, Cunningham led the Pistons offensively, but the team came up short once again. The star floor general had another impressive display on the offensive end, hitting the 20-point mark for the fourth time across his last six appearances, but he can't do everything alone. Despite the Pistons' struggles, there's no question Cunningham has been a reliable asset in fantasy. He's averaging 20.0 points, 7.5 assists and 4.9 rebounds per game since the beginning of February.

Impact Cunningham entered Wednesday's contest probably with a knee injury, but took the court and led all Pistons in assists to go along with a team-high pair of blocks and ending as one of five players with a double-digit point total in a losing effort. Cunningham has handed out eight or more assists in 19 games this season, now tallying at least 10 points and five dimes in eight straight appearances.

Expected to play Wednesday Cunningham is listed as probable for Wednesday's game versus the Suns due to left knee injury management.

Tepid night in loss Cunningham finished with 12 points (4-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds and seven assists in 25 minutes during Tuesday's 125-111 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Detroit's chances for success are very limited when Cunningham fails to catch fire, and the elite guard's shot was noticeably off in the loss to the Lakers. Injuries have been a consistent problem for Cunningham over the past month, and he could use the time off during the All-Star break to get fully healthy.

FEBRUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Records double-double in loss Cunningham notched 22 points (9-18 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, 10 assists and one block over 35 minutes during Saturday's 112-106 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Cunningham carried the Pistons in the fourth quarter, as has been the case in several other opportunities this season, but the star guard's efforts came up empty. Still, it was another strong showing for the floor general, who posted his third game with 10 or more assists over his last six appearances. He's averaging 18.8 points, 8.1 assists and 3.6 rebounds per game since the beginning of January.

Hits for 23 in Portland Cunningham amassed 23 points (8-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds and five assists in 39 minutes during Thursday's 128-122 overtime victory over the Trail Blazers.

Impact After sitting out the Pistons' game Wednesday with a sore knee, Cunningham returned and provided his best scoring effort since early January, when he dropped 30-plus points in back-to-back contests. The 2021 first overall pick is still looking to prove he can stay healthy, but Detroit's busy trade deadline shows the team's commitment to Cunningham and Jaden Ivey as its starting backcourt moving forward.

FEBRUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out against Sacramento Cunningham (knee) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Kings, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Impact Cunningham has been downgraded from questionable to out Wednesday due to left knee injury management on the first leg of Detroit's back-to-back. Jaden Ivey and Killian Hayes will likely receive increased playing time in his absence. Cunningham's next chance to suit up is Thursday's matchup with Portland.

FEBRUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Wednesday Cunningham is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Kings due to left knee injury management.

Impact Wednesday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, with the Pistons slated to face Portland on Thursday. It's very possible that the Pistons are planning to sit Cunningham in one of these games as a precaution. If that happens, Jaden Ivey figures to have the ball in his hands a lot more.

Balanced performance in defeat Cunningham registered 18 points (6-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 32 minutes during Sunday's 111-99 loss to the Magic.

Cunningham has recorded at least 15 points and seven assists in four straight appearances, tallying 15 or more points along with at least five rebounds and five assists in 12 contests.
