Cunningham racked up 43 points (16-24 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 8-9 FT), five rebounds, seven assists, one block and three steals across 44 minutes during Monday's 130-124 loss to Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham has struggled with efficiency and consistency this season, shooting just 42.2 percent from the field coming into Monday's contest. However, when he's on, the 2021 No. 1 overall pick can put up numbers that rival the best guards in the NBA. Despite the Pistons' struggles, Cunningham's return to form after missing most of last season due to a shin injury has been one of the team's few bright spots.

Cunningham provided 25 points (10-17 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), one rebound, six assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Saturday's 146-114 loss to the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham led all Pistons players in points and assists while finishing with at least 25 points in his 10th game this season. Cunningham has scored 20 or more points in seven of his last 10 outings, adding five or more assists in nine of those contests.

Cunningham contributed 21 points (5-17 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 10-12 FT), six rebounds and seven assists in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 129-111 loss to the 76ers.
EDGE Analysis
The third-year guard is showing signs of improving his efficiency. Cunningham has scored 20 or more points in three straight games and nine of the last 12, and his 44.0 percent shooting from the floor and 35.2 percent mark from three-point range are both steps forward from his season and career numbers. He's averaging 22.7 points, 7.3 assists, 4.4 boards, 2.1 threes and 1.1 steals over that 12-game stretch, but it's likely the first overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft has yet to reach his ceiling.

Cunningham ended Monday's 131-123 loss to the Pacers with 23 points (11-21 FG, 1-6 3Pt), six rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 38 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham fell directly in line with his production of late, as he's averaged 23.3 points, 4.4 rebounds and 7.4 assists across his past eight games. His performance is quality production for fantasy managers, but Cunningham was a non-factor defensively and was stifled when Indiana brought double teams and forced him to make secondary decisions with the ball. Cunningham trails only Giannis Antetokounmpo and Devin Booker in usage rate, so his production should remain strong, but it's noteworthy that it hasn't translated to winning in the context of Detroit's 20-game losing streak.

Cunningham finished with 21 points (8-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six assists, three rebounds and one steal over 32 minutes in Friday's 123-91 loss to Orlando.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham led all Pistons in scoring and assists while finishing as the lone player on his team with 20 or more points in a losing effort. Cunningham, who also led Detroit in threes made and minutes played, has been one of the top offensive producers for the Pistons this season and has surpassed the 20-point mark in 15 outings this year.

Cunningham had 16 points (6-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 assists, four rebounds, two steals and five turnovers over 34 minutes in Wednesday's 116-102 loss to the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham came into Wednesday's game leading the league with 4.4 turnovers per game and had five-plus turnovers for the second time in his last three games. He did register a double-double for the second straight game, and his points per game (22.4), assists per game (7.3) and three-point shooting (35.0 percent) are career highs. Cunningham has progressed well in his third year in the league, and consistently taking care of the ball could be his next step toward reaching All-Star status.

Cunningham had 31 points (12-20 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, eight assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Thursday's 118-112 loss to New York.
EDGE Analysis
The Pistons fought hard in this one, and while they took another loss, the performance of their young backcourt of Cunningham and Killian Hayes was encouraging. Cunningham is firmly entrenched as Detroit's primary scoring threat, and the numbers back him up, as he's cleared the 25-point mark in four of his last five appearances. He's averaged 26.0 points, 6.8 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game in that span.

Cunningham recorded 15 points (6-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one steal in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 133-107 loss to the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
The third-year guard led the Pistons in scoring on the night, but it was Cunningham's lowest points output since Nov. 14. After an injury-plagued start to his career, the 2021 first overall pick is still trying to develop a consistent offensive game, but he's showing signs of progress -- during that six-game streak in which he's scored at least 15 points a night, he's shooting 41.9 percent from three-point range while averaging 22.8 points, 6.3 assists, 4.0 boards, 2.2 threes and 0.8 steals.

Cunningham notched 26 points (10-22 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Monday's 126-107 loss to Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham led Detroit in the scoring in the loss, as he was the only Piston to exceed 16 points. The third-year point guard also tied for the team lead in assists and committed just one turnover after averaging 4.4 turnovers over his previous five contests. Cunningham still has the worst mark in the league with 4.5 turnovers per game on the season, but he's shown plenty of growth elsewhere, as his averages of 22.2 points, 7.1 dimes and 1.9 triples are each on pace to be a career-best mark.
