Cunningham posts yet another triple-double
Cade Cunningham had 22 points (8-of-17 FGs), 10 rebounds, 17 assists, one steal, two blocks and two 3-pointers in the Pistons’ 123-114 victory over the Raptors on Saturday. Cunningham’s breakout season continues with yet another triple-double. Only LeBron James and Nikola Jokic have more triple-doubles this season than the 23-year-old Pistons point guard. Even with Jaden Ivey going down with a broken leg, the Pistons are 9-2 over their last 11 games with Cunningham leading the way. In the last three weeks, he’s been a top-25 fantasy players, which is the kind of production fantasy managers can begin to expect from Cade.
Towns records another 30-point double-double
Karl-Anthony Towns logged 36 minutes in Sunday’s 140-106 beating of the Bucks, tallying 30 points (10-of-16 FGs, 8-of-9 FTs), 18 rebounds, four assists, one steal, and two 3-pointers. Towns recorded another 30-point double-double on Sunday, his 13th of the season. He’s been everything the Knicks hoped he would be when they acquired him, and KAT has exceeded the expectations for him in fantasy basketball based on his Yahoo ADP (20). New York plays three games during Week 12, beginning with the Pistons on Monday. Even with the Knicks finishing their weekly schedule on Friday, Towns’ fantasy value should not be impacted negatively.
