Cade Cunningham's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (hip) has been listed as doubtful for Monday's tilt against Toronto, meaning he will likely miss a second consecutive game. Cunningham has injured his left sacroiliac joint and missed his first game of the season on Saturday versus Orlando. Malik Beasley rejoined the starting five as a result of Cunnigham's injury and produced a good outing with 18 points and four assists on 4-for-9 shooting from deep. Meanwhile, Marcus Sasser saw more minutes in the rotation, contributing 13 points with a couple of assists and one steal. Beasley was recently Detroit's leading scorer with 20 points in a 99-95 win in an NBA Cup game against the Raptors and will look to repeat the success on Monday.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (hip) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Orlando Magic. Cunningham suffered a joint sprain during Thursday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. As a result, Cunningham will sit out on Saturday, but hopefully it'll only be a one-game absence. It'll be interesting to see what the Pistons do without Cunningham in the rotation. Jaden Ivey figures to do a majority of the ball handling while Malik Beasley and Marcus Sasser figure to see bigger roles in the rotation. Beasley has been hot lately and is worth rostering in most fantasy formats right now.

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham agreed to a five-year, $226 million extension with the team. The Pistons are rebuilding. However, the franchise wants to keep Cunningham at the forefront. The 22-year-old averaged a career-high 22.7 points and 7.5 assists last season. But he logged 3.4 turnovers during the 2023-24 campaign, so that's an area that needs to improve. Cunningham also hasn't played more than 64 games in any of his three seasons, which will cause his fantasy value to drop until he proves he can stay healthy.
