Cunningham racked up 26 points (9-22 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 11 assists, seven rebounds, two steals and two blocks over 40 minutes in Wednesday's 112-106 loss to the 76ers.
While Cunningham struggled with his shot and coughed up four turnovers, he delivered everywhere else and was perfect at the line. He's been a top-15 player in fantasy this season with averages of 24.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, 7.6 assists, 2.3 triples, 1.6 steals and 1.3 blocks per contest on 47.2 percent shooting from the field and 80 percent at the charity stripe.

Cunningham tallied 33 points (13-20 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and five steals in 27 minutes during Detroit's 124-91 victory over Charlotte on Monday.
It took 27 minutes for Cunningham to record season highs in scoring and steals, as he accounted for a third of Detroit's 15 total swipes on the night. Monday marked Cunningham's second 30-plus-point outing of the year, with both of them coming over his last three games. He'll continue providing fantasy contributions across the board for the 6-1 Pistons.
Oct 31
Cunningham finished with 20 points (6-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one block across 28 minutes in Friday's 110-94 win over Brooklyn.
Cunningham had trouble getting some of his shots to fall, but his efforts were still good enough to lead Detroit to its fifth victory of the 2026-27 campaign. The 2021 No. 1 overall pick is now averaging 22.2 points, 7.2 assists, 5.5 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.3 blocks over 33.5 minutes per contest in six regular-season appearances. He will likely continue to produce All-Star numbers and stay an all-around contributor, though he's not the most consistent shooter. Turnovers may also remain a concern.
Oct 29
Cunningham contributed 30 points (10-22 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 6-8 FT), seven assists, five rebounds and two steals across 39 minutes in Wednesday's 97-89 win over Charlotte.
Cunningham knocked down a season-high four triples en route to his first 30-point performance of the year. The star point guard also finished second on the club in assists and has yet to dish out fewer than seven dimes in a game this season. Through five regular-season games, he's averaging 22.6 points, 7.8 assists, 5.6 rebounds, 1.4 blocks and 1.2 steals in 34.5 minutes per contest.
Oct 28
Cunningham contributed 19 points (7-18 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-5 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists and one block across 36 minutes in Tuesday's 111-97 loss to the Knicks.
The star floor general didn't deliver his most efficient performance, though he still finished as Detroit's second-leading scorer behind Paul Reed (22 points). Cunningham also tied for the team lead in rebounds and paced all players in assists, dishing out eight dimes for a fourth straight game to begin the regular season. He's averaging 20.8 points, 8.0 assists, 5.8 rebounds, 1.8 blocks and 1.0 steals per game so far this season.
