Cunningham is questionable for Sunday's game against the Pacers due to right hip soreness.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham was limited to just eight minutes in Friday's win over the Thunder due to his injury, and he'll continue to deal with a hip issue ahead of Sunday's matchup. If the rookie is held out, Frank Jackson and Rodney McGruder should see an uptick in playing time.

Coach Dwane Casey said after Friday's win over Oklahoma City that Cunningham is dealing with a back injury, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham saw decreased playing time Friday, as he totaled just two points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt) in eight minutes on the court. While Casey didn't sound too concerned about the rookie's injury, his status for Sunday's game against Indiana hasn't yet been revealed.

Cunningham chipped in 27 points (12-20 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, six assists and four steals in 35 minutes during Thursday's 102-94 victory over Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie continues to look good, and rather fade toward the end of his first NBA season, Cunningham has taken his game to another level. He's scored in double digits in 20 straight games, averaging 21.2 points, 6.3 assists, 5.9 boards, 1.5 threes and 1.1 steals over that stretch.

Cunningham posted 34 points (13-24 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound, six assists and two steals across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 130-123 loss to the Nets.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham wasn't slowed down by the near-full-strength Nets, and the rookie was able to match his career-high 34 points while getting his teammates involved, playing good defense and keeping his turnovers (four) relatively low. Tuesday's performance marked his 10th straight game with at least six assists and 17 points, as he's gotten much more comfortable down the stretch.

Cunningham contributed 18 points (7-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven assists, two blocks and one steal across 37 minutes during Sunday's 104-102 loss to the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham surpassed 1,000 points for the season in the loss. The Pistons have little to play for, but Cunningham will almost assuredly remain productive as the season draws to a close. As the team's centerpiece for the future, the first-round draft pick will be given every opportunity to cement his role as the nexus of this offense.

Cunningham finished with 25 points (10-17 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds, seven assists, one block and four steals over 36 minutes during Monday's 119-115 loss to Portland. He also had nine turnovers.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham had nine turnovers in Monday's four-point loss. A career-worst in that category, Cunningham has struggled to take care of the ball throughout March, averaging 4.2 turnovers per game. Squandering an efficient, well-rounded outing, Cunningham will look to lead a victory Wednesday against the Hawks.

Cunningham produced 15 points (5-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-6 FT), six rebounds, 10 assists, one block and two steals across 36 minutes during Saturday's 113-109 loss to Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham delivered a sneaky double-double in the loss, although his shooting was far from spectacular. Poor efficiency is something we have come to expect from the rookie, somewhat limiting his overall upside. With that being said, he has proven the ability to play as a facilitator, while also producing on the defensive end of the floor. As long as you can take a hit to your percentages, Cunningham should remain a solid mid-round option ROS.

Cunningham (illness) is available for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, the rookie returns following a two-game absence and should re-join the starting lineup. This month, he's averaging 23.1 points, 8.1 rebounds and 6.4 assists in 38.0 minutes.

Cunningham (illness) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham has missed the last two games with a non-COVID illness, but he appears to have a good chance to return to action Saturday. He's averaged 23.1 points, 8.1 rebounds and 6.4 assists in 38.0 minutes per game since the start of March.

Cunningham (illness) is listed as out for Thursday's game against the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham was questionable throughout the day but will ultimately miss a second straight game as he battles a non-COVID illness. Rodney McGruder is the favorite to make a second consecutive start in the rookie's absence.
