Cade Cunningham scored 28 points and dished 10 assists in an overtime victory over the Atlanta Hawks. It was just the latest in a string of strong performances for the No. 1 overall pick.

The Pistons are on a three-game win streak, but beating the likes of the Hawks, Pacers and Raptors is only going to do so much to move the needle in the Rookie of the Year conversation.
