Cade Cunningham

Cunningham continues to struggle with his shot, and there were moments when he appeared frustrated due to the defense of Suns rookie Ryan Dunn. However, he only committed one turnover and dished out a game-high eight assists in the 104-97 defeat. Cunningham's shot will come around, and he should be a lock to provide top-50 fantasy value. The biggest concerns are turnovers and availability.

Playing for new head coach JB Bickerstaff for the first time, the Pistons starters were on the court through the third quarter of Sunday's preseason opener. That helped them establish a solid offensive rhythm after a slow start, with Ivey looking excellent. He was efficient and assertive as a scorer, making all three of his 3-point attempts while not committing a turnover. With Cade Cunningham firmly entrenched as the primary playmaker, Ivey must be effective as a quick decision-maker once he receives the ball. Sunday's performance qualifies as a step in the right direction after a disappointing 2023-24.
