Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (calf) won't be playing against the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday. A left calf contusion will keep Cunningham sidelined for a second consecutive game. When Cunningham exited the lineup on Sunday against the New Orleans Pelicans, Dennis Schroder was the starting point guard. He struggled with his shooting but did a decent job, notching 16 points, five assists, and two steals in a 136-130 win. Marcus Sasser saw increased playing time off the bench and put up 20 points. With Cunningham on the shelf, both players will maintain additional fantasy value this evening.
Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (calf) is considered questionable for Tuesday's tilt against the San Antonio Spurs. A left calf contusion could keep Cunningham sidelined for a second consecutive game. When Cunningham exited the lineup on Sunday against the New Orleans Pelicans, Dennis Schroder was used as the starting point guard. He struggled with his shooting but did a decent job, notching 16 points, five assists, and two steals in a 136-130 win. Marcus Sasser saw increased playing time off the bench and put up 20 points. Both players will maintain additional fantasy value if Cunningham remains out against the Spurs.
Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (ankle) is available for Sunday's matchup with Charlotte. He wasn't available for Friday's win over the 76ers. As a result, Malik Beasley entered the starting lineup and finished with 36 points, a career-high. But with Cunningham back in the Mix, Beasley will head back to the bench, which should lower his fantasy potential.
Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (ankle) will not play on Friday against the Philadelphia 76ers. An ankle sprain initially left Cunningham with a questionable tag ahead of the game, but he has now been officially ruled out. Malik Beasley will replace Cunningham in the first unit. Beasley has been effective throughout the campaign, and his numbers usually receive a slight boost when he gets the nod to start. In 11 starts this campaign, Beasley has averaged 19.1 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 3.0 assists.
Cade Cunningham May Miss Friday's Game Against 76ers
Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (ankle) is listed as questionable for the contest against the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday due to an ankle sprain. The star point guard hasn't been forced to miss a game since late November, so there's a chance the team could use this as a rest day. If that's the case, the Pistons would have a huge hole in their playmaking department. Malik Beasley could enter the starting five while Ron Holland II and Marcus Sasser will likely see increased minutes as well. Beasley and Tim Hardaway Jr. would be the safer streaming options. The latter dropped 20 points, three rebounds, and one assist in their last game on Wednesday.
Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (left knee soreness) is available for Saturday's matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Cunningham had been listed as probable but is now cleared to play and will continue his role as the centerpiece of Detroit's offense. The star guard has proven capable of elite production, including two triple-doubles in the past month, making him a valuable fantasy asset whenever he is on the court.
Cade Cunningham Expected To Suit Up Versus Minnesota
Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) is expected to play on Saturday versus Minnesota. The 2021 No. 1 overall pick has had the best year of his career, averaging 23.6 points, 9.5 assists, and 6.7 rebounds while shooting 37.1% from behind the arc. He's also missed only four games after logging 62 games or less in each of his first three seasons in the National Basketball Association. Without question, Cunningham is a must-start in all redraft formats, even more so with Jaden Ivey (leg) sidelined. However, his DFS potential is limited, considering the Timberwolves have allowed 107.7 points per game this season, the fourth-best mark in the league.
Cade Cunningham Probable For New Year's Day Against Orlando
Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) is in the midst of a breakout season, but he showed up on the injury report as probable with left-knee tendinopathy for the Pistons' matchup against the Magic on Wednesday. In 27 games, Cunningham has averaged 24.2 points, 6.7 rebounds, 9.9 assists, and 0.9 steals in 35.9 minutes per contest. He has posted six double-doubles and two triple-doubles in his last nine games, and if he's in the lineup for Wednesday's game, Cunningham is a must-start in all fantasy formats despite a tough matchup against the Magic. His knee issue doesn't look like it will cost him time yet, but it's something to keep a close eye on moving forward.
Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (hip) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Cunningham appears to be ready to return after missing four of the last five games due to a lingering hip issue. The expectation is that Cunningham will be a full-go for this game, so fantasy managers can get him back in there. Malik Beasley figures to head back to the bench and will lose some streaming appeal with Cunningham healthy again.
Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (hip) will miss Saturday's game against Philadelphia as a late scratch. The Pistons star returned from a three-game absence on Friday versus Indiana with a strong double-double performance and was expected to play against the 76ers, but he heads back to the shelf. Malik Beasley will jump back into the starting lineup. The veteran has averaged 19.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 2.8 assists in six starts this season.
