Cunningham is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Kings due to left knee injury management.
EDGE Analysis
Wednesday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, with the Pistons slated to face Portland on Thursday. It's very possible that the Pistons are planning to sit Cunningham in one of these games as a precaution. If that happens, Jaden Ivey figures to have the ball in his hands a lot more.

Cunningham registered 18 points (6-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 32 minutes during Sunday's 111-99 loss to the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham entered Sunday's contest on the injury report with a knee injury, but took the court while leading all Pistons players in assists and steals to go along with a handful of rebounds and a team-high-tying point total in a losing effort. Cunningham has recorded at least 15 points and seven assists in four straight appearances, tallying 15 or more points along with at least five rebounds and five assists in 12 contests.

Cunningham (knee) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham has shaken off a probable tag and will suit up for a third straight contest. He's played at least 30 minutes in back-to-back games, averaging 17.5 points, 9.0 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.5 steals during that stretch, so he should be full go versus Orlando.

Cunningham (knee) is probable for Sunday's game against the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham again carries a probable designation into Sunday's matchup, as he's been tagged as probable ahead of Detroit's last two games. He's logged 30-plus minutes in back-to-back contests, so the expectation is that the Oklahoma State product will be a full go come Sunday.

Cunningham amassed 16 points (7-17 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, 11 assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Friday's 136-125 loss to the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
It's the ninth double-double of the season for Cunningham, putting him one short of the career-high 10 he set as a rookie in 2021-22. The 22-year-old guard missed most of January with a knee strain, but he's played more than 30 minutes in all three contests since his return, averaging 18.3 points, 10.0 assists, 3.0 boards, 1.7 threes and 1.0 steals while shooting 50.0 percent (5-for-10) from beyond the arc.

Cunningham (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Cunningham has been upgraded from probable to available and will suit up for a second straight contest. Since returning from a multi-week absence, the point guard has made two appearances. He's played at least 31 minutes in each of those contests, totaling 39 points, 19 assists, six rebounds, two steals and a block.

Cunningham (left knee injury management) is probable for Friday's game against the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham has looked great since getting back from a knee injury, and it looks like fantasy managers can plan on having him available with his usual workload Friday night. Check back for official confirmation on his status closer to Friday's tipoff.

Cunningham posted 19 points (8-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 128-121 loss to Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham scored 20 points in his return to the hardwood on Jan. 27 against the Wizards, didn't play in the second half of a back-to-back set against Oklahoma City, then delivered another solid showing Wednesday. He probably needs a few more games to shake off the rust and post the numbers he was delivering in late December, as he closed 2023 averaging 31.4 points per game over his last seven December contests. Still, even if that's not the case, he'll remain the key cog for the Pistons offensively as long as he stays healthy.

Cunningham (knee) will be available to play Wednesday against the Cavs.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham sat out the second leg of a back-to-back Sunday, but he'll be back in action for Wednesday's game and should see his usual minutes. Expect Killian Hayes to return to the second unit and for fewer minutes to be available for Alec Burks.

Cunningham (knee) is listed as probable to play Wednesday versus Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham continues to have the workload of his left knee strictly monitored, but he's trending in the right direction to suit up Wednesday. Cunningham was expected to play in Sunday's win over the Thunder prior to being a game-time scratch, so his status will need to be monitored.
