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

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) won't play against Boston on Monday. He has been downgraded from a questionable status, and it was already unlikely that Cunningham, who's managing a left knee injury, would suit up for the contest after Detroit also played on Sunday. With Cunningham out of the picture, Jaden Ivey will have a chance to go berserk offensively, while Marcus Sasser could play a lot more important role than he usually does. Mind you, this will be a very tough matchup for the Pistons, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect too much from the young team.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) is questionable for Monday's contest against the Boston Celtics. On the second part of a back-to-back following Sunday's defeat to the Miami Heat, the last-place Pistons could opt to hold out their franchise cornerstone and manage the left knee that cost Cunningham some time back in late January. Should the former No. 1 overall pick be absent on Monday, Jaden Ivey would be tasked to handle a big bump in usage and orchestrate Detroit's offense in a nightmarish road spot against a Celtics squad that ranks second in opponent field-goal percentage (45.0%). Over 10 games without Cunningham in 2023-24, Ivey is averaging 21.5 points, 5.8 dimes, 5.0 rebounds, and 2.3 three-pointers and would still be a great bet in points leagues for the start of the fantasy quarterfinals.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) will play on Friday night against the Heat. The 22-year-old, who was listed as questionable heading into this contest, has had a productive 2023-24 campaign. He's averaged 22.5 points and 7.5 assists, both career-highs. Cunningham has been known to miss time over the years, so there was some concern that he wouldn't suit up versus Miami. However, now that he's cleared, fantasy managers can keep him in their starting lineups.

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.
