Delivers 14 dimes Sunday
Cunningham provided seven points (3-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt), eight rebounds and 14 assists across 22 minutes during Sunday's 133-121 win over the Pacers.
Analysis
Despite having very little to play for, Detroit opted to play the majority of its roster, including Cunningham, who still managed to hand out a team-high 14 assists. Having recently returned from a collapsed lung, it appears as though Cunningham is ready to go for the playoffs, having played 25.3 minutes per game in his past three appearances since getting back on the floor.

Fills stat sheet vs. Charlotte
Cunningham posted 14 points (7-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal over 28 minutes during Friday's 118-100 win over the Hornets.
Analysis
Cunningham logged a 13-point, 10-assist rebound across 26 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Bucks, and he posted another decent -- yet unspectacular by his standards -- stat line in the penultimate game of the regular season. Cunningham is simply aiming to get enough playing time under his belt with the playoffs right around the corner, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to produce the same elite numbers he was delivering earlier in the campaign as the regular-season finale against the struggling Pacers looms Sunday.

Double-doubles in return
Cunningham posted 13 points (6-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt), five rebounds, 10 assists, one block and one steal across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 137-111 win over Milwaukee.
Analysis
Cunningham returned to the court after missing the previous 11 games due to a collapsed lung. While his production was certainly more than acceptable, the fact that he played 26 minutes is perhaps even more encouraging. Detroit will close the season against the Hornets and the Pacers before entering the playoffs as the top seed in the Eastern Conference.

Returning versus Milwaukee
Cunningham (chest) is listed as available for Wednesday's game against Milwaukee.
Analysis
Cunningham missed Detroit's last 11 contests because of a collapsed lung. As a result, it's logical to assume it will take him a few games to return to his usual workload, meaning Daniss Jenkins should remain involved.

Expected to play Wednesday
Cunningham (chest) is expected to play Wednesday against the Bucks, Vincent Goodwill of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis
After getting through shootaround without any setbacks, Cunningham continues to trend in the right direction. While listed as questionable on the injury report, he's likely going to be upgraded to probable or available shortly. However, even if he suits up, his minutes will likely be monitored closely.

Present for shootaround
Cunningham (chest) was present for Wednesday's morning shootaround, Hunter Patterson of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
This isn't anything to overreact to, but it's a good sign for Detroit to see Cunningham on the floor after a scary injury update a few weeks ago. He remains listed as questionable to face the Bucks on Wednesday, though he's likely to have restrictions if he's cleared to play.

Listed as questionable
Cunningham (chest) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis
With three games left in the regular season, Cunningham appears to be ahead of schedule in his recovery from a collapsed lung, with the superstar now considered day-to-day. If Cunningham does get the green light to suit up, it's likely that he'll have heavy restrictions right out of the gate.

Won't play Monday
Cunningham (chest) is out for Monday's game against the Magic.
Analysis
Cunningham was upgraded to doubtful ahead of Monday's clash, which appears to be a sign he's headed in the right direction, but he's not quite ready to return to the floor yet. His next opportunity to do so will arrive Wednesday against the Bucks. Coach J.B. Bickerstaff noted in his pregame press conference Monday that he's hopeful Cunningham will be able to participate in at least one regular-season game before the playoffs, per Coty M. Davis of The Detroit News, so even if he can't go Wednesday, he'll still have an opportunity to play Friday against Charlotte and Sunday against Indiana.

Doubtful for Monday
Cunningham (chest) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Magic.
Analysis
The doubtful tag can be viewed as an upgrade for Cunningham. On April 2, the Pistons announced he would be re-evaluated in one week, so he's due for another update shortly. However, Cunningham's return timetable remains murky until that happens.
