Cunningham will miss a second consecutive game with a right wrist contusion. Jaden Ivey started Wednesday’s win over the Bulls but only played 20 minutes, with Daniss Jenkins logging 28 off the bench. That split makes Jenkins the superior streaming option, but both are risky plays for fantasy managers.

Cunningham did not play in Wednesday’s win over the Bulls, which moved Jaden Ivey into the starting lineup. However, Ivey only played 20 minutes despite no longer being under a minutes restriction. Daniss Jenkins played 28 minutes off the bench and dished out a career-high 15 assists.

Cunningham, who did about whatever he wanted in Monday’s win over the Knicks, is dealing with a right wrist contusion. The good news is that he’s considered probable, so fantasy managers should assume that Cade will play. If he doesn’t play, Daniss Jenkins and Marcus Sasser will figure more prominently in the Pistons’ rotation.

Cunningham admitted in the postgame interview that there was something extra to the game because they were playing the Knicks for the first time since losing to them in last year’s playoffs. The Pistons had a 10 point at halftime before Cunningham completely took over in the third quarter. The 24-year-old point guard had 15 points, the same amount as the Knicks’ entire team, as the Pistons won the third quarter by 10. He came out of the game with 29 points and 13 assists in just 29 minutes. Cunningham should be well rested when Detroit is back in action Wednesday against the Bulls.

Cunningham was listed as probable with a right hip contusion, so it’s no surprise he’s available for Monday’s game. The 24-year-old point guard had 27 points in 37 minutes in Sunday’s win over the Cavaliers. Cunningham went through warmups and was ruled in for a rematch from last year’s playoffs against the Knicks.

While Cunningham did not shoot the ball well from the field on Sunday, he was efficient in other ways. A perfect 11-of-11 from the foul line, the Pistons’ point guard was responsible for just one turnover, one shy of his season-low tally. Over the past two weeks, Cunningham has offered top-10 per-game value in eight- and nine-cat formats. The Pistons play four games in Week 12, starting with the Knicks on Monday.

While Cunningham has recorded double-doubles in two straight and four of his last five games, turnovers have been an issue. After recording five in Tuesday’s win over the Lakers, he was responsible for seven on Thursday. The good news for managers in eight-cat formats is that turnovers aren’t a factor in those leagues. As for managers in nine-cat formats, Cunningham’s value takes a slight hit because of that category.

While the Pistons’ bench proved to be the difference in a decisive second-half run, Cunningham once again led the way offensively for the team with the best record in the East. Cade heads back to Detroit, having recorded three double-doubles in the team’s five-game road trip. And over the past two weeks, he has provided top-10 per-game value in eight-cat formats. The Pistons play two more games in Week 11, starting with the Heat on Thursday.

For the first time this season, Cunningham has shot 50 percent or better from the field in four straight games. Between the percentages, assists and relatively low turnover count, Sunday was a good night for those with Cunningham on their fantasy rosters. Over the past two weeks, he has provided top-10 per-game value in eight-cat formats. Cunningham and the Pistons will look to end their road trip on a positive note when they visit the Lakers on Tuesday.

After dishing out 14 assists in Tuesday’s win over the Kings, Cunningham racked up 17 more on Friday, one shy of his career-high. Even better for fantasy managers is that the Pistons’ point guard kept the turnovers in check. He only committed four on Friday, less than half of his total against Sacramento (nine). Cunningham had a chance to win the game, but his three-pointer fell left of the mark as time expired. He and the Pistons will look to end Week 10 with a win when they visit the Clippers on Sunday.

Cunningham has dished out at least nine assists in five straight games, and the 14 he recorded on Tuesday were four shy of his season-high. However, there was a negative for those competing in nine-cat formats: turnovers. Cunningham committed a season-high nine against the Kings, and that has been a category that fantasy managers have needed to punt in previous seasons. There’s a one-round difference between Cade’s eight-cat and nine-cat values, with the Pistons point guard being a first-round player in the former.

Cunningham has now scored 15 points or less in two of his last five games. The 24-year-old point guard is averaging just 23.1 points per game in December after averaging 31.6 in November. Cunningham also turned it over five times, which lessened his value in nine-category leagues. He’ll be back on the floor Tuesday against the Kings.

Cunningham was just one assist away from a triple-double in Thursday’s game against the Mavericks, but he was able to get the job done with his 14th triple-double of his career and third this year Saturday. Cade is averaging 28 points per game, 8 rebounds per game and 10 assists per game over his last three games. He only had two turnovers against the Hornets, which is important in nine-category leagues. The Pistons have four games in Week 10, starting with the Trail Blazers on Monday.

Cunningham was just one assist shy of a triple-double in the overtime loss to the Mavericks on Thursday. The 24-year-old point guard was dueling with Cooper Flagg down the stretch and in to overtime, but the Pistons couldn’t pick up the victory. Cunningham had another four turnovers in this game and remains more valuable in eight-category leagues.

At times, the fourth quarter of Monday’s game felt like a duel between Cunningham and Boston’s Derrick White, with both knocking down critical shots in crunch time. Alas, “The MotorCade” came out on top, helping push the Pistons to a conference-best 21-5 record. Cunningham’s double-double was his 13th of the season, and he’s scored at least 30 points in eight of the 23 games he’s played. In seasons past, Cade has been far more valuable in eight-cat formats and turnover-punt builds. But he’s closed the gap, which is why he’s been so much more beneficial to fantasy managers this season, regardless of league format.

Cunningham’s fantasy production was limited due to a one-sided contest on Friday between the Pistons and Hawks. Detroit led in this one by as many as 35 points, thus holding the former No. 1 overall pick to 23 minutes of game action. Friday marked the third time in the last five games that Cunningham finished with fewer than 20 points, which had happened only once previously this season. The Pistons will face the Celtics on Monday, which is the next time Cunningham will have a chance to put forth fantasy numbers that more closely align with the dominant ones he’s tallied so far this season.

After playing 36 minutes in Friday’s win over the Trail Blazers, Cunningham logged 32 on Saturday, spending most of the fourth quarter on the bench. The Pistons point guard is up to 12 double-doubles on the season and fifth in his last 10 games. The negative for Cunningham managers is the upcoming schedule, as Detroit plays only once in Week 8. However, this won’t be a significant issue for those competing in leagues that combine Weeks 8 and 9 to account for the NBA Cup knockout rounds.

Cunningham was the do-it-all superstar we’ve seen so far for the Pistons this season again Friday. The 24-year-old point guard filled up the stat sheet, leading the way with 29 points and nine assists. Cunningham is also getting it done on the defensive end, where he has 10 steals in three games so far this week. The Pistons close out the week with a matchup against the Bucks on Saturday.

Cunningham was held below 20 points for the second consecutive game to start December after going the entire month of November without that happening. The 24-year-old point guard had an off-night from behind the three-point line going 1-of-7 from behind the arc. Cunningham had just two turnovers and was +7 in 35 minutes in the four-point loss.

Cunningham wasn’t able to have his typical dominant scoring night, but he got the job done late with a pair of clutch buckets with less than a minute left to turn a tied game in to a four-point lead for Detroit. His scoring output was underwhelming for fantasy managers, but the rest of his night wasn’t. He set a new career high for steals and had more “stocks” than he’s ever had in a single game. It was an impressive performance for him, and he’ll look to stay hot in Milwaukee on Wednesday.

While Cunningham had another high-turnover night, committing eight, he continued to make big plays down the stretch. The Pistons’ point guard leads the NBA in fourth-quarter points, and while he only made two shots in the fourth on Saturday, Cade’s jumper with 20.2 seconds remaining gave Detroit a four-point lead. Over the past two weeks, Cunningham has provided top-10 per-game value in eight-cat formats, slightly better than his season-long value. The Pistons play four games in Week 7, starting with the Hawks on Monday.

Cunningham finished Friday’s 112-109 defeat with his second triple-double of the season. However, unlike the line he recorded in Detroit’s November 10 win over the Wizards, turnovers were an issue on Friday. Cunningham finished with a season-high eight, and there weren’t any defensive stats on the line, either. While he has been a top-20 player in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks, that’s with an average of 4.4 turnovers per game. In eight-cat, Cunningham has been a top-10 player during that stretch. While he is susceptible to the high-turnover night, the overall production compensates for that.

Detroit’s 13-game win streak came to an end on Wednesday, with the Celtics holding on for the three-point victory. Cunningham had an opportunity to tie the game with 4.4 seconds remaining after being fouled while in the act of shooting. However, after making the first two free throws, he missed the third in a difficult finish to what was a highly productive night for the star guard. Cunningham is providing second-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats, ranking slightly higher in the former.

The Pistons earned their 13th straight win, thanks largely to another productive outing from their most productive player. Cunningham followed a 29-point, 10-assist performance with another 20-point double-double, marking his seventh in a row. Zero production from the three-point line limited him to his fewest points since November 1st, and he finished with fewer than 10 assists for the first time since November 3rd. Still, he was a monster on the glass and ended with another strong performance. He remains one of the top guards in fantasy leagues this season.

The Pistons entered Saturday’s game having lost their last 13 meeting with the Bucks, and ending that streak was a point of emphasis for Cunningham and company. They got the job done, and the point guard led the way to extend Detroit’s win streak to 12. He was highly efficient, shooting over 50 percent from the field and finishing two rebounds shy of a triple-double. Cunningham and the Pistons play four games during Week 6, starting with the Pacers on Monday.

Cunningham returned after missing Detroit’s last three games, and he made his presence felt immediately. With the Pistons leading by just two points with 90 seconds left, Cade hit back-to-back tough shots to extend the lead and secure the win, which was their 11th in a row. His shooting percentage is down, but he is averaging career-highs in points, assists and steals per game this season. It has been a team effort to sit atop the Eastern Conference early on, but when the game comes down to the wire, it’s clear it’s Cunningham’s team.

Cunningham is back after a three-game absence, giving the Pistons a welcome boost on the perimeter. His return means Daniss Jenkins will come off the bench, but the second-year guard isn’t an automatic drop just yet. While 12-team managers can move on, managers in 14-team leagues may want to hold onto Jenkins for a bit.

Cunningham has a chance to return following a three-game absence, and if he’s back, Daniss Jenkins would revert back to a bench role. Jenkins has been excellent in Cunningham’s absence, and he may have done enough to remain in Detroit’s rotation moving forward. Jenkins is a hold for now, but he may be headed for drop territory soon.

Cunningham will miss a third consecutive game with a left hip contusion, meaning Daniss Jenkins remains in the starting lineup. The second-year guard out of St. John’s is worth streaming in deeper leagues until the Pistons’ All-Star point guard returns.
