Player Stats

Cade Cunningham had 16 points (5-of-8 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), two rebounds, eight assists, one steal, three blocks and two three-pointers in the Pistons’ 128-111 victory over the Heat on Friday.

Cunningham had another fine game as he filled the stat sheet and led the Pistons to another win to start the season. However, after turning the ball over five times in the win over the Celtics on Tuesday, he had seven turnovers against the Heat on Friday. Even opposing coaches like the Heat’s Erik Spolstra have pointed out that Cunningham isn’t necessarily a bad ball-handler, but commits a lot of turnovers thanks to almost always having the ball in his hands. That doesn’t offer much comfort to fantasy managers with Cunningham in nine-category leagues as he’s likely to be towards the top of the league in turnovers this year.

Cade Cunningham put up 14 points (5-of-11 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, nine assists, one steal, and two 3-pointers in 25 minutes against the Timberwolves.

Cade looked like his usual self as the primary creator of the offense. It is important to note the nine assists to the five turnovers he had. Detroit lost some ball handling this summer which will put even more responsibility on Cade. It would not be a shock if he leads the league in turnovers this year because he’s the only starter that can handle the ball.

Cade Cunningham tallied 10 points (3-of-8 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 16 minutes as the Pistons defeated the Suns 109-107 in preseason action on Monday.

Cunningham was at the controls for Detroit as they kicked off their exhibition slate with nearly every key piece of their rotation, with the exception of center Jalen Duren, who recently signed a five-year, $200 million contract following a tumultuous offseason that came on the heels of a disappointing playoff performance. There are legitimate questions about whether Detroit’s decision not to add any secondary scoring or playmaking help for Cunningham this offseason will eventually backfire. However, it virtually guarantees that he’ll be in line for another high-volume offensive season. Cunningham should be a borderline first-round pick in all upcoming fantasy drafts.

Cade Cunningham and the Pistons will host the Celtics in the first game of the 2026-27 regular season on Oct. 20.

The most important note here is the start time. Typically, there are two night games on opening night, but this game will tip off at 3 p.m. ET. Managers will have to set their lineups earlier than usual. There are still two night games, with the defending-champion Knicks hosting the new-look 76ers, which will be followed by a Western Conference Finals rematch, with the Spurs hosting the Thunder. All three games will be broadcasted on NBC and Peacock. Other nationally-televised games for the first week have been revealed as well, and the full schedule will be released this week.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Nikola Jokić, Victor Wembanyama, Cade Cunningham and Luka Dončić were named first-team All-NBA on Sunday.

Gilgeous-Alexander and Jokić were first-team selections on all 100 ballots, while Wembanyama was selected on 99. Unsurprisingly, they were the three finalists for league MVP, with Gilgeous-Alexander winning the award for a second consecutive season. Dončić and Cunningham, who needed waivers from the league to be eligible for postseason honors, round out the first team.
Cade Cunningham

DET Guard #2

Cade Cunningham amassed 13 points (5-of-16 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), four rebounds, five assists and two steals in Sunday’s Game 7 loss to the Cavaliers.

Efficiency was an issue for Cunningham throughout the Cleveland series, but he had his worst showing in Game 7. While the Pistons’ point guard committed a respectable three turnovers, he was 0-of-7 from beyond the arc. Given Detroit’s limitations on offense, they can’t afford for Cunningham not to be at his best when the lights shine brightest. However, the end should not take away from Cade’s play throughout the season. A likely All-NBA selection, he offers first-round fantasy value in formats that either don’t count or punt turnovers.

Cade Cunningham finished Friday’s Game 6 win over the Cavaliers with 21 points (7-of-19 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, eight assists and five three-pointers.

Cunningham did not deliver the cleanest performance on Friday, committing seven turnovers, but his play was good enough to help the Pistons force a decisive Game 7 on Sunday. The Pistons’ star didn’t have the best night shooting-wise, either, but that was unsurprising based on how Cunningham has played throughout the series. In the first five games, he shot 41.7 percent from the field and was slightly worse in Game 6. But the Pistons’ “others” stepped up, and now Cunningham and company will host a Game 7 for the second time this postseason.

Cade Cunningham had 39 points (13-of-27 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), seven rebounds, nine assists, two steals and six three-pointers in Wednesday’s Game 5 loss against the Cavaliers.

The Pistons led by nine with three minutes left in regulation, but blew that lead and lost by four in overtime. Cunningham dropped 39 points in Game 5, but it wasn’t enough as the Pistons fell behind 3-2 in the series. After a Donovan Mitchell three-pointer gave the Cavaliers a five-point lead in overtime, Cunningham committed one of his six turnovers. Max Strus picked his pocket in the backcourt and found Mitchell streaking in for a layup to put the Cavs up by seven, effectively putting the game on ice.

Cade Cunningham produced 19 points (7-of-16 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), three rebounds, six assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Monday’s loss to the Cavaliers.

Cunningham logged his least impressive stat line of the series on Monday. In his 39 minutes, he tallied five or more assists for the third consecutive game and was held under 20 points for the first time this postseason. Cunningham’s six assists were unspectacular, more than insignificant. However, he didn’t have his usual impact in Monday’s loss. Detroit will be counting on its All-Star guard to lead the way in Game 5.

Cade Cunningham finished Saturday’s Game 3 loss to the Cavaliers with 27 points (10-of-27 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), 10 rebounds, 10 assists, one steal and two three-pointers.

Cunningham finished Game 3 with the second triple-double of his postseason career. However, similar to the first, which was recorded in Game 4 of last year’s first-round series against the Knicks, turnovers were a problem. Cunningham racked up eight turnovers on Saturday, including two on consecutive possessions late in the fourth quarter. Detroit still had chances to win Game 3, a testament to the positives Cunningham brought to the table. However, they need to find a way to take some of the pressure off their playmaker, as inconsistent production from anyone other than Tobias Harris doesn’t do Cunningham any favors. Game 4 is on Monday night, with Detroit holding a 2-1 series lead.

Cade Cunningham tallied 25 points (7-of-14 FGs, 8-of-8 FTs), four rebounds, 10 assists, one steal, two blocks and three three-pointers in the win over the Cavaliers on Thursday.

Cunningham closed the show with a stellar 12-point fourth quarter in Thursday’s contest to help the Pistons take a 2-0 series lead, with his late three-pointer to put Detroit up by nine points with 2:12 left serving as the dagger. He’d ultimately finish with more points and assists than in Game 1, while his three stocks in 42 minutes were also noteworthy. Cunningham has been fantastic throughout the postseason and will have a chance to remain productive in Game 3.

Yaxel Lendeborg notched 18 points (4-of-11 FGs, 9-of-12 FTs), 13 rebounds, six assists, three steals and one three-pointer in Friday’s loss to the Grizzlies.

After a much-discussed debut in the Warriors’ loss to the Lakers on Wednesday, Lendeborg recorded his first career double-double on Friday. The rookie’s final stat line lacked only a blocked shot, but he has all the makings of a player who will offer consistent value in fantasy basketball. Stephen Curry (ankle) is not expected to play in Saturday’s game against the Suns, and Brandin Podziemski (back) has already been ruled out. If Lendeborg is sitting on your league’s waiver wire, don’t hesitate to pick him up.

Brandin Podziemski (head) accounted for 18 points (7-of-17 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, three assists, three steals, one block and two three-pointers in Friday’s loss to the Grizzlies.

Podziemski entered Friday’s game dealing with a sore lower back that kept him out of Wednesday’s loss to the Lakers. It didn’t help matters that he took an inadvertent forearm from Grizzlies center Zach Edey to the head early in the first quarter. Podziemski returned later in the period after a trip to the locker room and logged 33 minutes overall. He finished with a complete stat line, but this is it for Podz in Week 1. After Friday’s defeat, he said he would not play in Saturday’s game against the Suns.

Graham Ike produced 10 points (4-of-7 FGs), two rebounds, one assist, one steal and two three-pointers in Friday’s loss to the Grizzlies.

After starting Draymond Green at center in Wednesday’s loss to the Lakers, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr opted against that approach on Friday. As a result, Ike made his first NBA start. The rookie from Gonzaga shot reasonably well, but he offered little value beyond points and three-pointers. The Warriors visit Phoenix on Saturday, and Ike may play more, as Al Horford hasn’t played both games of back-to-backs in a few years.

Stephen Curry tallied 24 points (5-of-15 FGs, 11-of-11 FTs), three rebounds, four assists and three three-pointers in Friday’s loss to the Grizzlies.

Curry led the Warriors in scoring on Friday, but he shot a frigid 5-of-15 from the field. The assists were solid, but this was not the best night to have the Warriors star in most fantasy lineups. After the game, Curry said he “probably” won’t play against the Suns on Saturday, bad news for fantasy managers hoping for a bounce-back effort.

GG Jackson finished Friday’s win over the Warriors with two points (1-of-6 FGs), four rebounds and one assist.

With Cedric Coward (wrist) unavailable, Jackson moved into the starting lineup on Friday. Unfortunately for those who streamed him, GG offered little value as a spot starter. He picked up four fouls in 10 first-half minutes, and Kris Murray (three rebounds, one assist, and one block) would start the third quarter. Whether or not Jackson gets another opportunity on Sunday against the Kings depends on Coward’s health, but he may not be worth the streaming risk in most leagues.

Isaiah Stewart notched four points (2-of-3 FGs), two rebounds and one steal in Friday’s win over the Warriors.

Stewart made his official Grizzlies debut on Friday, playing most of his minutes when starting center Zach Edey (8/10/3/1/2) was not on the floor. Unfortunately, Beef Stew picked up four fouls in the first half, including three in the first quarter, which limited him to 16 minutes. It remains to be seen what his role will look like once the ankle is no longer a concern, but Stewart isn’t someone worth rostering in most redraft leagues just yet.

Jaylen Wells recorded 17 points (5-of-9 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), four rebounds, three assists and four three-pointers in Friday’s win over the Warriors.

After recording 12 points and four steals in Wednesday’s season-opening win over the Jazz, Wells was more productive offensively against the Warriors. He scored an efficient 17 points, a number he met or exceeded in 18 of 69 appearances last season. Wells still isn’t at the point where he’s a must-roster player, but he should have more room to produce, especially on nights when Cedric Coward (wrist) doesn’t play.

However, after scoring eight first-half points on 3-of-7 shooting, the Grizzlies point guard put up 14 points in the third quarter. Jerome and the Grizzlies ripped off a 17-0 run in the fourth to move to 2-0 on the season, getting their four-game road trip off to a good start.

After struggling with his shot in his NBA debut on Wednesday, Boozer had a much better night against the Warriors. The rookie forward made four of his first five three-point attempts and scored 14 points in the first half. By the end of the night, Boozer had made franchise history, becoming the second-youngest Grizzly to record a double-double. Memphis ends its Week 1 with a game against the Kings on Sunday.

Darius Garland finished Friday’s loss to the Lakers with 26 points (9-of-19 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), six assists, one steal and four three-pointers.

The star guards in this matchup all seemed to struggle with turnovers. Garland racked up nine, while the Lakers’ Luka Dončić (11) and Austin Reaves (six) combined for 17. Garland had a solid night shooting the basketball, but nine-cat managers took a hit because of the turnovers. He’ll look to finish Week 1 on a high note when the Clippers visit the Thunder on Sunday.
