Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Chips in 16 points in victory
Rotowire
Cunningham contributed 16 points (6-14 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five assists and three rebounds across 21 minutes in Saturday's 121-76 win over the Pacers.
Cunningham shook off a probable tag due to a right wrist contusion to suit up in this one. He logged just over 21 minutes and didn't play in the fourth quarter as Detroit jumped out to a sizable early lead against a banged-up Indiana squad. Still, the star point guard tied the team highs in points and assists.

Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Struggles with shot in win
Rotowire
Cunningham (wrist) contributed 10 points (3-16 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 4-9 FT), 11 assists, four rebounds and one block across 38 minutes during Thursday's 108-105 win over the Suns.
In his return from a two-game absence due to a right wrist injury, Cunningham turned in his least efficient game of the season, missing all seven of his three-point attempts and five of his attempts at the charity stripe. Given that he was dealing with a bruise on his shooting wrist, it's fair to wonder if that was still giving him trouble Thursday, but it doesn't seem like Cunningham plans on spending any additional time on the sidelines. He'll look to bounce back with a favorable matchup Saturday against the Pacers.

His teammates ultimately prevailed with a late run led by Jalen Duren and Ausar Thompson.
