Cade Cunningham posted 26 points, seven rebounds, 11 assists, two steals, two blocks, one three and four turnovers on 9-of-22 shooting and 7-of-7 from the stripe in 40 minutes as a starter in Detroit's 112-106 loss to Philadelphia on Wednesday, November 4.

The line keeps Cunningham locked into elite territory in both formats. He ranks 12th overall with 3.6 nine-category value and 45.7 projected fantasy points per game, and Wednesday's performance aligns with the high-usage, multi-category production managers already expected from him.

Player by player

Cade Cunningham

Cunningham's 26 points, 11 assists, two steals and two blocks represent a big line, but it comes from a player who already averaged 45.2 fantasy points over his previous seven games. His usage sits at 31.8 per cent with 59.8 per cent true shooting, and the 40 minutes on Wednesday reflect Detroit's need for him to carry the offence. The seven rebounds and four turnovers sit close to his norms.

Season to date across eight games (this one included), Cunningham has averaged 24.0 points, 5.6 rebounds and 7.6 assists in 33.4 minutes a game. Over his previous seven games he put up 23.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, 7.1 assists, 1.6 steals, 1.1 blocks and 2.4 threes in 32.5 minutes a game. Detroit have one game left this week, on Wednesday.

What to do

• Start Cade Cunningham with confidence in all formats.

• Hold Cunningham as a top-12 asset in both nine-category and points leagues.

• Do not chase his box score: his fantasy value was already priced in before Wednesday's game.
