Racks up another double-double
Cunningham registered 21 points (8-10 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-3 FT), three rebounds, 15 assists and one steal in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 138-100 win over Brooklyn.
Analysis
Cunningham was coming off a 26-point, 10-assist performance in the loss to the Heat on Sunday, and the star floor general had another impressive showing in this blowout 38-point win. Taking advantage of a favorable defensive matchup, Cunningham shot 80 percent from the floor and dished out his third-best output in assists this season. Cunningham now has eight double-doubles over his last 10 appearances since the All-Star break.

Will play Sunday
Cunningham (quad) is available for Sunday's game in Miami.
Analysis
Cunningham was listed as probable, and now we have official confirmation that he'll be out there. Cunningham's return will result in Daniss Jenkins returning to the second unit, and Marcus Sasser's minutes figure to dip.

Probable for Sunday
Cunningham (quad) is probable for Sunday's game in Miami.
Analysis
Cunningham skipped Saturday's loss to the Nets with a minor quad issue, but it looks like he'll be back in action Sunday, which should shift Daniss Jenkins back to the second unit. Managers can expect to get official confirmation on Cunningham's status closer to tipoff.

Not playing Saturday
Cunningham (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Nets.
Analysis
Cunningham was initially listed as questionable for Saturday's contest, but the All-Star's left quad contusion is severe enough for him to sit out for the first leg of the Pistons' back-to-back set. Daniss Jenkins should serve as Detroit's starting point guard while Caris LeVert, Kevin Huerter and Javonte Green are candidates to enter the starting five. Cunningham's next opportunity to play is Sunday against the Heat.

Nursing quad contusion
Cunningham is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Nets due to a left quadriceps contusion.
Analysis
Cunningham may have picked up the injury during the Pistons' loss to the Spurs on Thursday, when he played 39 minutes and finished with 26 points, eight assists and four rebounds. The Pistons have a back-to-back set against the Nets and Heat on Saturday and Sunday, respectively, so it wouldn't be surprising if Cunningham were to sit out for one of those games. Daniss Jenkins figures to be the top candidate to enter Detroit's starting lineup if Cunningham were to miss time.

Scores 26 points in loss to Spurs
Cunningham contributed 26 points (10-26 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and eight assists across 39 minutes during Thursday's 121-106 loss to the Spurs.
Analysis
Cunningham sparked a few comeback attempts from the Pistons in the second half, but he couldn't complete them as Detroit ended up losing by 15 points in what turned out to be one of their biggest losses of the season. Cunningham still posted an impressive stat line, and the star floor general continues to be worthy of MVP buzz in what has been an outstanding year for him. Cunningham is averaging 24.4 points, 11.1 assists, 6.6 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.5 blocks per game since the All-Star break.
