Mon Mar 14 2022 | 10:42 | Cade Cunningham Nearly Logs Triple-Double Sunday |
Detroit Pistons shooting guard Cade Cunningham delivered another strong performance in defeat Sunday vs. the Clippers, finishing just a rebound shy of his third career triple-double. Cunningham was able to collect 23 points on 10-for-20 shooting across his 44 minutes, marking his seventh straight game reaching the 20-point plateau. He also reached double-digit assists (10) for the sixth time this year, with injuries to Killian Hayes (hip) and Frank Jackson (back) funneling more minutes in the rookie's direction. Cunningham's fantasy stock continues to ascend heading into the last month of the year, although a tough matchup with Miami is set for Tuesday; in two prior meetings, the Rookie of the Year candidate has combined to score just 10 points vs. the Heat. |

Fri Mar 4 2022 | 09:11 | Cade Cunningham Ties Career-High With 12 Boards |
Detroit Pistons shooting guard Cade Cunningham recorded the eighth double-double of his career during Thursday's win over Toronto, tying his career-best with 12 boards in the process. Cunningham entered play scuffling from long range, but he shook off those concerns by going 4-for-9 from behind the arc, the ninth time this season that he has knocked down at least four triples. He ultimately finished with 22 points on 9-for-20 shooting overall, also adding in five assists and two steals to tie a knot on one of his more impressive fantasy outings of the year. His next outing is slated for Friday vs. the Pacers, but the rookie has struggled to the tune of an average of just 11.5 points and a 35.8 overall shooting percentage on the second leg of back-to-backs this season. |

Fri Feb 11 2022 | 18:04 | Cade Cunningham Returns To Action For Friday’s Contest |
Detroit Pistons shooting guard Cade Cunningham (hip) has been given the green light to suit up Friday against the Hornets, ending his absence due to a right hip pointer at five games. Cunningham's return is a blow to the fantasy stock of Hamidou Diallo, Frank Jackson, and Killian Hayes, who all enjoyed offensive upside in the rookie's absence. While the overall shooting numbers (39.7 percent) haven't jumped off the page, Cunningham has averaged 15.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 5.2 assists across his first 41 professional contests. While he may face a minutes cap of some kind, Charlotte playing at the league's fastest pace figures to do wonders for his DFS upside. |

Thu Feb 10 2022 | 17:35 | Cade Cunningham Continues Absence Thursday |
Detroit Pistons shooting guard Cade Cunningham (hip) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Grizzlies as he continues to be bothered by a right hip pointer. Cunningham's absence marks his fifth in a row, paving the way for Frank Jackson, Hamidou Diallo, and Killian Hayes to all see expanded offensive roles. Cunningham has continuously been tagged as questionable as of late, a positive step for his prospects of returning to action in the near future. Detroit's next chance to get their leading assist (5.2) and steals (1.3) per game producer back comes Friday vs. Charlotte. |

Tue Feb 8 2022 | 19:08 | Cade Cunningham To Remain Out On Tuesday |
Detroit Pistons rookie guard Cade Cunningham (hip) will remain sidelined for Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The first overall pick of this year's draft is dealing with a hip injury. This will be his fourth straight game on the sidelines. Hamidou Diallo and Cory Joseph will continue to shoulder a heavy workload as the team's starting backcourt duo. Diallo is distantly the more interesting of the two for fantasy purposes as he's had some big games this year. Cunningham, meanwhile, will have his next chance to return on Thursday against the Memphis Grizzlies. Over 41 games this year, the rookie is averaging 15.8 points, 5.2 assists and 5.5 rebounds per game. |

Sat Feb 5 2022 | 18:57 | Cade Cunningham Draws Questionable Tag For Sunday |
Detroit Pistons shooting guard Cade Cunningham (hip) has once again earned a questionable designation, this time ahead of Sunday's matchup vs. Minnesota. Cunningham has dealt with a right hip pointer, which has kept him out of Detroit's two previous outings and paved the way for Hamidou Diallo and Frank Jackson to take on larger offensive roles. Another absence from Cunningham would vault Diallo's DFS status to the next tier, particularly with the Timberwolves playing at the league's third-fastest pace entering play Saturday. Detroit has little incentive to rush the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft back into action, but fantasy managers will want to check back for the final word. |

Fri Feb 4 2022 | 15:10 | Cade Cunningham, Josh Jackson Will Miss Friday’s Game |
Detroit Pistons shooting guards Cade Cunningham (hip) and Josh Jackson (back) have been ruled out for Friday's contest against the Celtics. Cunningham is battling a hip pointer that has sidelined him for two straight outings, while Jackson is missing his fourth straight due to back spasms. While Rodney McGruder stepped into the starting five in place of Cunningham on Thursday, Frank Jackson led the team in scoring with a 25-point effort off the bench; both players stand out as DFS options while Cunningham and Jackson remain down. Their next opportunity to suit up comes Sunday vs. Minnesota. |

Thu Feb 3 2022 | 17:45 | Cade Cunningham Not Available On Thursday |
Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (hip) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He suffered a right hip pointer during Tuesday's contest. The Pistons are likely to use a committee approach to fill the void of Cunningham. Cory Joseph, Killian Hayes, Frank Jackson, and Hamidou Diallo are all players who could benefit in the loss of Cunningham. Diallo is the best fantasy option out of the bunch, but Joseph could also be worth a look as a streaming option. |

Wed Feb 2 2022 | 18:42 | Cade Cunningham, Josh Jackson Questionable For Thursday |
Detroit Pistons shooting guards Cade Cunningham (hip) and Josh Jackson (back) have been tagged as questionable to take the floor for Thursday's contest vs. Minnesota. Cunningham was somewhat of a surprise addition to Tuesday's lineup, although he was limited to just 21 minutes as he works through a hip pointer. Jackson, an integral member of the team's second unit, has been sidelined for the past two games, allowing Cory Joseph, Frank Jackson, and Killian Hayes to all see larger minutes and offensive roles. Cunningham has proven to be as volatile of a DFS option as they come during his rookie year, as fantasy managers should keep an eye on his status prior to tip-off due to the Timberwolves playing at the league's sixth-fastest pace. |

Tue Feb 1 2022 | 21:24 | Cade Cunningham Unlikely To Return On Tuesday |
Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (hip) is considered doubtful to return for Tuesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He suffered a right hip pointer injury during the third quarter. He would eventually return to the bench, but it doesn't appear that he's going to check in again. Cory Joseph and Rodney McGruder would likely be asked to step up if Cunningham is forced to miss time. The Pistons next game is on Thursday versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. There's a chance Cunningham sits out for that, but fantasy managers will have to check back on Thursday. |

Sat Jan 1 2022 | 18:26 | Cade Cunningham Out Against Spurs |
Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham is listed as out for Saturday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The rookie guard entered COVID-19 protocols on December 22 and remains out. The organization was hopeful he would return here, but clearly that is not the case. It's also worth noting that Cunningham needs to build back up his conditioning before he's ready to play again. In the meantime, Hamidou Diallo and Saddiq Bey will continue doing the heavy lifting on offense. Both are strong DFS options for Saturday's slate with Cunningham sidelined. |

Wed Dec 22 2021 | 18:24 | Cade Cunningham Enters Health And Safety Protocols |
Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham entered the league's health and safety protocols on Wednesday. The Pistons already lost Killian Hayes (illness) at the start of the week and Frank Jackson (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's clash with the Heat, so the backcourt looks extremely thin all of a sudden. Cory Joseph logged a start instead of Hayes on Tuesday against the Knicks and Saben Lee produced a nice 16-point performance off the bench. Hayes might be back on Thursday, as he's dealing with a non-COVID illness, but Joseph and Lee could be asked to run things from the back again. Josh Jackson might also get a chance to show signs of life. |

Sat Dec 18 2021 | 16:05 | Cade Cunningham Fills Box Score In Saturday's Loss |
Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham couldn't save the team from another loss on Saturday, but he enjoyed a good game personally against the Rockets, recording 21 points with seven rebounds, 11 assists, two steals and one block. He posted three turnovers in 38 minutes and shot 8-for-19 from the field with a 3-for-9 effort from outside. Cunningham's rookie campaign started with very inefficient scoring numbers, but he's found his shot in December, and the 20-year-old is cooking up good lines regularly now. Sunday's matchup against Miami is a nightmare for Cunningham, but he has a very high usage rate and could still end up with good numbers. |

Mon Dec 13 2021 | 08:13 | Cade Cunningham Scores 26 Points Against Brooklyn |
Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham led his team with 26 points and tallied eight rebounds with six assists in Sunday's 116-104 loss to Brooklyn. He shot 9-for-18 from the field and 5-for-8 from downtown with a 3-for-5 record at the charity stripe. Cunningham also had three steals and one block but blemished his line a bit with seven turnovers. The top pick of the 2021 draft had an awful start to his rookie campaign shooting-wise, but he's improved a lot and is currently hitting even 48.6 percent from deep. Cunningham looks set to carry a big offensive load, with Jerami Grant (thumb) ruled out for at least six weeks. |

Wed Dec 1 2021 | 09:04 | Cade Cunningham Sets New Career High With 26 Points |
Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham had the best offensive performance of his young career on Tuesday, leading the team with 26 points on 10-for-13 shooting in a 110-92 loss to Portland. He exploded from downtown with a 5-for-7 effort and tallied seven rebounds with one assist, one steal, three blocks and six turnovers. Cunningham's shot had been off all season, so it was good to see him finally having some success. It will be tough to replicate it in the next matchup, though, as the Pistons gear up for a meeting with Phoenix. The Suns are among the top defensive teams in the league and they even managed to limit Stephen Curry to 12 points on Tuesday. |

Mon Nov 22 2021 | 07:57 | Cade Cunningham Posts A Historic Triple-Double |
Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham had a special night on Sunday against the Lakers, becoming the youngest player in franchise history to post a triple-double. He finished a 121-116 loss with 13 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists. Cunningham also tallied a pair of steals and had three turnovers in 38 minutes with 6-for-21 shooting from the field. The youngster tends to struggle with his shots most nights and this one wasn't any different. He ended up going 1-for-9 with the three-ball. Cunningham and the Pistons get a rematch with the Lakers on Nov.28, but they have to come through a rough patch of games before heading to Los Angeles. Matchups against the likes of Miami and Milwaukee will be very challenging for Cunningham. |

Tue Nov 16 2021 | 08:37 | Cade Cunningham Posts A Nice 25-8-8 Line Against Sacramento |
Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham was involved in everything Monday night against the Kings, racking up 25 points with eight rebounds and eight assists in a 129-107 loss. He posted two steals as well with four turnovers in 35 minutes, shooting 10-for-20 from the field and 5-for-11 from behind the arc. Cunningham's shooting numbers have been ugly in his first career games, but he's now shot at least 40 percent in four consecutive outings and it was an impressive effort from him on Monday. A meeting with a mediocre defensive team in the Pacers on Wednesday should give him another good chance to shine. |

Thu Nov 11 2021 | 09:05 | Cade Cunningham Notches 20 Points Against Rockets |
Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham had 20 points on 8-for-18 shooting in Wednesday's road win over the Rockets, hitting half of his eight attempts from deep. He pulled down four rebounds in 30 minutes and posted three assists with two steals, one block and four turnovers. Cunningham made a horrific start to his professional career shooting-wise, but he's now beginning to find his rhythm and has greatly boosted his numbers in recent outings. He'll look to keep up the improvement next against the Cavaliers on Friday. However, this could turn out to be another rough outing for Cunningham, as Cleveland, unlike Houston, doesn't like to push the pace, and they can be very stingy on defense. |

Fri Nov 5 2021 | 14:37 | Cade Cunningham No Longer Restricted |
Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham is no longer restricted during back-to-back sets, according to head coach Dwane Casey. It appears the prized rookie guard is no longer limited after sitting out one back-to-back set. That means, Cunningham should be fully available for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He recorded his first double-double of the season on Thursday. Fantasy managers should feel comfortable leaving Cunningham in their lineups for Friday's matchup. |

Thu Nov 4 2021 | 22:42 | Cade Cunningham Posts First Career Double-Double |
Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham posted his first career double-double in a losing 109-98 effort to the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday. The 2021 number one overall pick scored 18 points while grabbing 10 rebounds, four assists, one steal, and three turnovers in 32 minutes. The rookie also continued his struggles shooting from the field by going just 4-for-17 including 1-for-7 from three-point range. The all-around performance was a welcomed sight for the 20-year-old, as fantasy managers are expecting the dynamic guard to be a producer across most categories. Cunningham has shot a ghastly 18% from the field to start the young season, but efficiency will be coming as he starts to settle into the league. |
