Cade Cunningham totaled 41 points (15-21 FG, 3-4 3PT, 8-10 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, one steal, and one block in the Pistons’ 118-112 loss to the Nets.

Fantasy Impact:

Cunningham scored 41.0 points in the Pistons' historic loss to the Nets, putting together a sensational outing that saw him contribute to every category of the sheet stat. Despite the team's poor showing, he has produced a great season thus far and maintains his status as the franchise's hope for better days. While this season has been less than ideal, the Pistons still have the potential for a bright future and can take steps towards making that a reality if they can use this moment as fuel to power them toward a new positive direction. Cunningham's value should continue to position him as a must-start asset; however, much could be said about his future legacy depending on how he leads his team through this challenging and pivotal time for the franchise. The Pistons have the Celtics next and will have another opportunity to dig themselves out of this historic slump. If they could manage to get a victory against one of the best teams in the league, it could be enough to allow the Pistons to begin showing some signs of promising potential heading into next season unless they are looking to tank…I mean, take another underwhelming approach to building toward success.
