Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham has been consistently recognized as one of the NBA’s top players, earning multiple nominations for Player of the Week. Since capturing his first award in December alongside Victor Wembanyama, Cunningham has consistently been in the running, recently earning a nomination despite ultimately losing to Darius Garland of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
In his last four games, Cunningham showcased impressive performances, highlighted by scoring 32 points against the Portland Trail Blazers and again posting 32 in a competitive game against the Golden State Warriors. He also achieved a triple-double against one of the teams, averaging 25 points, nearly 10 assists, and 7 rebounds over this stretch.
This week, Cunningham opened strong with a 36-point performance against the New York Knicks, shooting 52 percent from the field. The Pistons have been performing well, winning most of their recent matchups, and Cunningham will look to continue this trend against the Indiana Pacers.
