Cade Cunningham scored 33 points with seven assists, five steals, four threes and 13-of-20 shooting in 27 minutes as a starter on Monday, November 2, when Detroit beat Charlotte 124-91.

The line lifted Cunningham's nine-category value to 3.66 and his projected fantasy points to 46.3 a game. He was already averaging 42.5 fantasy points over his previous 6 games, so this was a strong outing from a player already delivering elite production at the guard position.

Cade Cunningham

Cunningham posted 33 points, five rebounds, seven assists, five steals and four threes in 27 minutes on Monday, well above his previous 6 games (22.2 points, 5.5 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 1.0 steals, 1.3 blocks and 2.2 threes in 33.5 minutes a game). His 13-of-20 shooting and 3-of-4 from the line came at a 30.3 per cent usage rate and 56.8 per cent true shooting for the season.

The big line brought Cunningham to a top-15 ranking in both formats, and his 100 per cent start share and 32.5 minutes a game (seven games, this one included) reflect his role as a heliocentric creator. Detroit has one game left this week, on Monday, and then no games next week.
