Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's matchup against Miami. He's on the injury report with left knee injury management, which puts Cunningham's run of 15 consecutive appearances under a threat. Jaden Ivey's usage should receive a boost without Cunningham, while Marcus Sasser could land in a starter's role. The 23-year-old rookie has put together a few good fantasy lines in outings with 30-plus minutes this season, although a matchup against the Heat is a tough one, as Jimmy Butler's crew has a top-10 defense in the league.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) is probable for Tuesday's tilt against the Chicago Bulls. Detroit lost to the New York Knicks on Monday, and although Cunningham has not played in both ends of a back-to-back since returning from a strained left knee on Jan. 27, he is expected to play on Tuesday. The Bulls are yielding the second-fewest fantasy points to opposing point guards, but 2021's No. 1 overall pick is a must-start.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) is probable for Thursday night against Indiana. The designation is nothing for fantasy managers to be alarmed by, considering he's been on the injury report since returning from a lengthy absence caused by a knee injury. Of course, anything can happen, so Cunningham could miss this one. If that's the case, Jaden Ivey will likely see an uptick in usage and interest from DFS managers. At the same time, Marcus Sasser could be worth starting in most fantasy setups if Cunningham isn't available.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) is officially active ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Orlando Magic. The 22-year-old has carried injury designations since returning from an eight-game absence caused by a knee issue. However, he's mostly been available, so fantasy managers likely weren't overly concerned. At any rate, Cunningham has logged at least 30 minutes in three games since returning from the lengthy layoff. But he's had some issues finding the bottom of the net, although that shouldn't keep him out of any fantasy lineup.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) is probable heading into Sunday's meeting with Orlando. Cunningham missed eight games because of a knee injury but returned for the January 27 matchup with the Washington Wizards. Since then, he's made routine appearances on the league's injury report. However, fantasy managers should count on the 22-year-old being available for the matinee against the Magic. Cunningham has logged at least 30 minutes in the three games making his way back to the court, so it doesn't appear his workload will be reduced moving ahead, which is undoubtedly a plus for fantasy participants.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) will play during Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. As expected, Cunningham will suit up after being listed as probable earlier in the day. He played 31 minutes during his last game and figures to play a big role once again. He finished with 19 points, two rebounds, seven assists, two steals during that contest. Fantasy managers should make sure to get Cunningham back in their lineups for Friday. He has been playing well lately and is showing no signs of slowing down.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) has been listed as probable for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He's only listed with knee injury management, so the injury report just seems to be a housekeeping type of deal. The up-and-coming point guard was able to play a full 30 minutes in their last contest on Wednesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. In that one, he registered 19 points, seven assists, two rebounds, two steals, and one block. The Clippers present a different test as they're one of the top teams in the league right now and boast one of the better perimeter defenses too. Cunningham is still a must-start player whenever he's healthy, so he should be in all lineups regardless of format.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) practiced on Tuesday, but center Isaiah Stewart (ankle) did not. Stewart sprained his left ankle in Sunday's shocking win over the Oklahoma City Thunder, and his absence at Tuesday's session means he's not trending in the right direction for Wednesday's contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Detroit continues to manage the strained left knee of Cunningham, who was a late scratch on Sunday, but he would seem to have a good chance of returning on Wednesday.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) finished with 20 points and 12 assists in Saturday's loss to the Washington Wizards. Cunningham returned after an eight-game absence because of a knee injury. Although he managed to amass a double-double, he shot a rough 7-for-17 from the field. The 22-year-old also had seven turnovers. At any rate, Cunningham played as well as expected in his first game in weeks. However, it remains to be seen if Cunningham will be back in the lineup on Sunday against OKC, the second of consecutive games. If he's not, Killian Hayes and Alec Burks would be in line for more work.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) is probable for Saturday's clash with the Wizards. Detroit's young star is expected to return from an eight-game absence, although he also had a probable tag on Wednesday ahead of an encounter with the Hornets and didn't play. Following a multi-week absence, the team wanted to give Cunningham more time to work on his conditioning before he jumped back into action. Cunningham's return would bump Killian Hayes to the bench. Hayes had a good game on Wednesday with a 6-7-8 line, but his spot in the rotation is under threat as Monte Morris finally made his season debut against Charlotte.

Detroit Pistons head coach Monty Williams says the team decided that guard Cade Cunningham (knee) won't play on Wednesday versus the Charlotte Hornets because they feel he needs a bit more time to work on his conditioning and get more practice reps. Detroit listed Cunningham as probable with a strained left knee on Tuesday but downgraded him to questionable on Wednesday morning before ruling him out altogether, and the 2021 No. 1 overall pick targets a return on Saturday against the Washington Wizards. Monte Morris (quadriceps) will make his debut for the Pistons and reportedly face a minutes restriction against Charlotte, so he won't be a fantasy option right off the bat. Jaden Ivey has averaged 21.4 points, 6.1 assists, 5.0 rebounds, and 2.0 threes covering seven games without Cunningham this year.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) appears to be on track to return to the lineup Wednesday versus Charlotte, with the team listing him as probable for the game. Detroit's young star has missed seven games. Cunningham put together a strong stretch of games right before getting hurt, and he returns in a juicy matchup against a team that shares the league's worst defensive rating with the Pistons. His return will push Killian Hayes back to the bench. Hayes has struggled even with Cunningham out of the lineup and should be a free agent in most fantasy leagues.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. As expected, Cunningham will sit out after being listed as doubtful coming into this game due to a left knee strain. It wouldn't be shocking to see Cunningham continue to miss time until he's back to full strength. Killian Hayes should continue to start and see an increased role with Cunningham unavailable.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) isn't expected to return for Monday's matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks. The 22-year-old is averaging 22.8 points this season, a career-high. However, he's been out a few weeks after suffering a knee strain during the January 7 encounter with the Denver Nuggets. That said, although Cunningham isn't anticipated to suit up, the doubtful tag at least means he's moving in the right direction. But until he's back in the lineup, Bojan Bogdanovic, Jaden Ivey, Jalen Duren, and Alec Burks should benefit the most on the scoring end.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) is expected to return to action in five to seven days after being cleared for basketball activities, the team announced on Friday. The former number-one overall pick has missed each of the last five games with a knee strain and will be out for the next two games but could make his return anytime after. For the near future, Killian Hayes and Jaden Ivey will continue to see more minutes and usage as the team's potential franchise player misses some more time. January 24th at home versus the Hornets seems like the earliest potential date we could see Cunningham return.

An MRI performed on Monday on Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) confirmed a strained left knee, and he will be re-evaluated in seven to 10 days. Cunningham departed Sunday's matchup with the Denver Nuggets after 11 minutes of play with the injury, and The Athletic's Shams Charania reported on Monday night that he dodged a serious setback. The 3-33 Pistons' season probably can't get much worse, but they'll now be without their top playmaker for the next several contests. The 22-year-old former No. 1 overall pick is averaging a career-high 22.8 points on 44.9% shooting from the field, 7.3 assists, and 1.9 three-pointers but ranks fourth in the NBA with 3.8 turnovers in 34.5 minutes over 36 games. Killian Hayes and Jaden Ivey are set to serve as Detroit's primary facilitators for the time being, while Alec Burks and Marcus Sasser should handle more reserve minutes at the 1.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) has officially been ruled out of the team's game on Tuesday night against the Sacramento Kings. Cunningham was forced to leave their last contest after hurting his knee and he was unable to return that night. Now, it looks like he'll be forced to miss at least one game in the process. Killian Hayes should be the one to move up into the starting lineup in Cunningham's place, but Jaden Ivey will likely be the one to add in fantasy lineups. Behind them, Marcus Sasser should see some minutes and Alec Burks could get some time in the backcourt as well.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) suffered a left knee strain during the second quarter of Sunday night's game against the Denver Nuggets and has been ruled out for the remainder of the game. Cunningham has been one of the lone bright spots for the Pistons and one of the few players who are consistently relevant in fantasy basketball on that team. If he has to miss extended time, Jaden Ivey becomes a must-start player with the increased usage in the starting lineup. After him, Alec Burks, Killian Hayes, and Marcus Sasser will all likely see increased minutes to fill in the void. Burks may be the best streaming option out of the three since he already receives more consistent minutes than the others.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham had a monster game against Atlanta on Monday but couldn't save the team from a 24th consecutive loss. He put up a career-high 43 points in a 130-124 loss with five rebounds, seven assists, three steals, and one block. In 44 minutes of action, Cunningham nailed three three-point bombs with five attempts and shot 16-for-24 overall. After having a miserable night Friday against Philadelphia with four points, Detroit's young star has produced back-to-back efficient scoring performances. He should be able to build further momentum on Thursday against the Jazz, who are ranked 24th in defensive efficiency.

Detroit Pistons head coach Monty Williams said on Thursday that he's looking at making changes to give guard Cade Cunningham more space to operate and unclog the paint. Winless in their last nine tries, Detroit searches for answers as their season begins to circle the drain at an NBA-worst 2-10 record. With the Pistons down Bojan Bogdanovic (calf) and Jalen Duren (ankle) in and out of the lineup, most of the remaining usage has flocked to Cunningham to mixed results. The 22-year-old former No. 1 overall pick is averaging a career-high 21.3 points and 7.3 assists, but this double-edged sword also shows an NBA-high 5.0 turnovers and 19.9 field-goal attempts with a 40.2% shooting clip overall. Even when Duren has been out, Williams has opted for starting units featuring two big men that include Marvin Bagley III alongside Isaiah Stewart. If the paint becomes less crowded, it could go a long way in maximizing Cunningham's strengths.
