Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Scores 15 points Friday
Rotowire
Cunningham supplied 15 points (6-21 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, 10 assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Friday's 99-95 win over the Raptors.
Cunningham was one of two Detroit players who reached the 15-point plateau in this low-scoring affair, though he did it amid a woeful shooting display that saw him attempt 21 shots. The star floor general couldn't build off the season-high 35-point output he delivered in the loss to the Bucks on Wednesday and saw his streak of games with at least 20 points snapped at five. Despite the shooting woes, Cunningham should remain Detroit's go-to player on offense. He's averaging 21.9 points, 9.3 assists and 8.0 rebounds per game since the beginning of November.
Cunningham ended with 35 points (13-34 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, 11 assists, three blocks and two steals across 43 minutes during Wednesday's 127-120 overtime loss to the Bucks.
Despite nailing five triples and scoring a season-high 35 points, Cunningham shot just 38.2 percent from the field in Wednesday's overtime loss. The 23-year-old guard has become one of the league's best passers and shot blockers for a guard, averaging 8.5 assists and 1.1 swats through his first 13 appearances. However, turnovers continue to be a problem, as Cunningham is averaging 5.0 giveaways over that span.

Rotowire
Cunningham closed with 26 points (10-21 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), eight rebounds, nine assists and one block in 36 minutes during Sunday's 101-99 loss to the Rockets.
Despite Cunningham's best efforts, the Pistons dropped to 4-7 on the season. He's enjoying a breakout season so far, as the point forward has produced averages of 23.1 points, 8.3 assists, 7.3 rebounds and 1.9 three-pointers in 36.1 minutes per contest.

Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Posts third straight triple-double
Rotowire
Cunningham notched 22 points (8-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 11 rebounds, 13 assists, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Friday's 122-121 win over the Hawks.
Cunningham continued his incredibly hot start to November by drilling the game-winning shot and securing his third triple-double in as many appearances. His scoring production has taken a slight hit during this impressive stretch, though he still reached or came close to the 20-point threshold during all three triple-doubles. Cunningham is averaging 20.0 points, 8.8 rebounds and 9.0 assists over his last five games.

Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Notches triple-double in loss
Rotowire
Cunningham logged 20 points (9-23 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds and 10 assists across 38 minutes during Wednesday's 108-107 loss to Charlotte.
Cunningham recorded his second straight triple-double, albeit one with no defensive contributions. It's been a solid start to the season for Cunningham, who is averaging 22.9 points per game while adding 6.8 rebounds, 7.7 assists, 2.0 three-pointers and 1.4 combined steals and blocks. He should continue to power the Detroit offense moving forward, with the only concern being his health given the number of games he has missed over the past two years.

Rotowire
Cunningham logged 19 points (8-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds and five assists in 35 minutes during Sunday's 106-92 victory over the Nets.
Cunningham produced an extremely efficient outing while leading Detroit in scoring in the victory. Sunday marked the 23-year-old's first game of the regular season that he finished with less than 20 points, though he was highly efficient from two-point range. Cunningham did struggle from beyond the arc, but he is still shooting 39.5 percent from three-point range through seven regular-season appearances.

Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Leads Detroit with 22 points
Rotowire
Cunningham racked up 22 points (10-19 FG, 2-4 3Pt), six rebounds, six assists and one block in 32 minutes during Friday's 128-98 loss to the Knicks.
Cunningham was the lone offensive bright spot for the Pistons on Friday in a game during which Detroit scored just 13 points in the first quarter. Cunningham has logged at least 21 points and six assists across all six regular-season games so far, and he leads the Pistons in both of those statistical categories.
Cunningham recorded 21 points (9-22 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 1-3 FT). six rebounds, 10 assists, a steal and four blocks across 41 minutes in Saturday's 124-118 loss to the Celtics.
Cunningham did everything he could to pull the upset against the reigning champions, but the Pistons came up short even though they fought until the final stages of the fourth quarter. Cunningham wasn't at his best in terms of efficiency, but that won't matter much if he's able to deliver the kind of two-way play he's been putting up to start the campaign. Through three appearances, Cunningham is averaging 27.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and 8.0 assists per game.

Rotowire
Cunningham totaled 28 points (10-23 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 115-109 loss to the Pacers.
The Pistons competed hard in this season opener, and although they came up short and had to settle with the loss, Cunningham delivered an impressive outing both as a scorer and playmaker. If he stays healthy, Cunningham could be in line to improve his 2023-24 season numbers, when he averaged 22.7 points and 7.5 assists per game across 62 regular-season contests.

Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Poor shooting in preseason win
Rotowire
Cunningham delivered 13 points (5-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists, a steal and a block across 25 minutes in Sunday's 120-87 preseason win over the Bucks.
Jaden Ivey led the way for the Pistons with a 22-point effort, and while Cunningham struggled from the field, he was the only other starter who reached double-digit points. Cunningham's role as the team's go-to scorer and undisputed star is not under any risk, so the star floor general is simply ramping up to get ready before the regular-season opener against the Pacers on Oct. 23.

Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Downgraded to out
Rotowire
Cunningham (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Spurs.
As expected, Cunningham has been downgraded from doubtful to out and will miss the regular-season finale. The third-year guard rebounded from a lost 2022-23 campaign and averaged career highs in points (22.7) and assists (7.5) per game this season. The Pistons' season was disappointing, but Cunningham was a bright spot and figures to be a key part of Detroit's future.

Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Participating in shootaround
Rotowire
Cunningham (knee) took part in morning shootaround but remains listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the 76ers, Natalie Kerwin of Bally Sports Detroit reports.
Cunningham's involvement in morning shootaround is generally a positive sign for his chances of playing Tuesday, but fantasy managers in leagues with daily lineup moves or those planning to use him in DFS will still want to keep close tabs on his status leading up to the 7 p.m. ET tipoff. Even on the occasions Cunningham has been listed as questionable and included in the starting five, the Pistons have made a habit lately of making him a late scratch. While Cunningham has missed the past three games, Marcus Sasser and Jaden Ivey have served as Detroit's starters in the backcourt.

Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Iffy for Tuesday
Rotowire
Cunningham (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.
Cunningham has missed the last three games due to left knee injury management, and it's unclear whether he'll return Tuesday. However, it's somewhat encouraging to see him listed as questionable for Tuesday's matchup after he was immediately ruled out for the last two games. With the Pistons out of the playoff picture, the team will likely exercise caution with Cunningham over the final week of the regular season.
