As they are set to host the Phoenix Suns<\/a>, the Pistons will get a chance to build on their status as one of the NBA\u2019s top teams as we reach the halfway point of January.<\/p>\n

Lately, the one-time star Cunningham has been dealing with a wrist injury. Labeled as a contusion, Cunningham\u2019s setback has caused him to miss the Pistons\u2019 previous two games. In his absence, the Pistons split matchups.<\/p>\n

The first game against the Chicago Bulls<\/a> resulted in a 108-93 win for the Pistons. They collected their third win a row on January 7. When taking on the surging Los Angeles Clippers<\/a> a few nights later, the Pistons came up short with a 98-92 loss. In Cunningham\u2019s absence this year, the Pistons are 4-1.<\/p>\n

They won\u2019t have to worry about playing without him against Phoenix on Thursday. Barring any sudden changes, Cunningham is expected to play, as he was left off the injury report.<\/p>\n

This season, Cunningham has appeared in 33 games. Seeing the court for 35.6 minutes per game, he is putting up a career-high 26.7 points per game, while shooting 46 percent from the field and 34 percent from three.<\/p>\n

Along with his scoring, Cunningham has produced nearly 10 assists per game, while coming down with 6.2 rebounds per game. He is once again on pace to make the All-Star team, marking the second appearance of his career.<\/p>\n

Along with Cunningham, the Pistons are expected to get Jalen Duren, Tobias Harris, and Isaiah Stewart back. They are all listed as probable on the injury report.<\/p>\n
