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

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) was a late scratch for Wednesday's matchup with Atlanta. The Pistons announced him as a starter, but Cunningham is sitting out the game for left knee injury management purposes. Marcus Sasser, who's back in the lineup following a bout with an illness, started at point guard instead of Cunningham. The top pick of the 2021 draft will have his first opportunity to jump back into the lineup on Friday versus Memphis.

Detroit Pistons guards Cade Cunningham (knee) and Marcus Sasser (illness) have been upgraded to available ahead of Wednesday's meeting with the Hawks. Both players were initially regarded as questionable for the game. Sasser returns from a two-game absence, while Cunningham has been enjoying one of the strongest stretches of the season lately. He has gone for at least 30 points in three consecutive games. Considering Cunningham will be facing a team that has the fourth-worst defensive rating in the league, the young Pistons star has a good chance to post the longest 30-point streak of his career.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup versus Atlanta. At this point, DFS managers anticipate Cunningham's presence on the league's injury report whenever the Pistons have a game. While he's managed to play through most injury designations, there's still a realistic chance he won't suit up, considering Detroit has nothing to play for this season. At any rate, the 22-year-old has averaged 26.0 points, 9.5 assists, and 3.0 steals in two meetings with the Hawks this season, so he's an ideal fantasy option if he gets the green light to get on the floor.

Detroit Pistons point guard Cade Cunningham (knee) will be available for Monday's matchup against Memphis. The team is trying to manage his left knee injury, and Cunningham was at first considered questionable for the game. This will mark Cunningham's third straight appearance. He's gone for 30-plus points in each of his last two games. The Grizzlies are a struggling team but boast some good defensive numbers, making this a tricky matchup for Cunningham. Memphis limited him to 16 points in the first head-to-head meeting between the teams in December, although Cunningham also bagged 10 assists and two steals in the contest.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The young guard has been in-and-out of the lineup lately due to left knee management. The Pistons aren't competitive right now, so they aren't going to push Cunningham out there at less than 100 percent. Fellow guard Marcus Sasser (illness) is questionable as well, so if both sit then Malachi Flynn could see significant minutes in the rotation.
