Cunningham is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Bulls due to a right wrist contusion.
Cunningham may have picked up the injury during the Pistons' 121-90 win over the Knicks on Monday, when he tallied 29 points, 13 assists, three rebounds, two blocks and one steal over 29 minutes. The probable tag indicates that the injury isn't considered a long-term issue, and the All-Star guard should be available for Wednesday's game barring a setback.

Cunningham produced 27 points (7-22 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 11-11 FT), six rebounds, seven assists, two steals and one block across 37 minutes of Sunday's 114-110 win over the Cavaliers, and he apparently picked up a mild knock in the process.

The star guard has been on a tear offensively of late and has scored 29 or more points in four of his last five appearances. Considering his excellent production in other categories as well, it's not a stretch to consider him as one of the top guards in fantasy so far in the 2025-26 campaign.

Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Questionable for Tuesday
Rotowire
Cunningham (hip) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Hawks.
Cunningham has missed the past three games for Detroit, but the star playmaker remains day-to-day. The Pistons will not have a shootaround for the second leg of this back-to-back set, so Cunningham is likely to be a game-time call. Daniss Jenkins will likely continue to see a ton of usage if Cunningham remains sidelined.

Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Questionable for Monday
Rotowire
Cunningham (hip) is questionable for Monday's game against the Pacers.
Cunningham, who has missed the past two games for Detroit, remains day-to-day with this questionable tag. Monday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, so there's a chance he could be held out for maintenance in one of these games if he can get the green light from the medical staff. Daniss Jenkins and Caris LeVert are likely to see a bump in fantasy appeal if Cunningham continues to miss time.

Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Won't play Friday
Rotowire

This will be the second straight game on the inactive list for Cunningham, which could result in another start for Daniss Jenkins and extended minutes for Caris LeVert. The Pistons' next two games come as a Monday-Tuesday, back-to-back set, so there's a chance Cunningham will need to spend at least one more game on the sidelines.
