After an eight-game absence, Cunningham made his return in the first leg of a back-to-back set on Saturday, and he didn't appear to be limited. He played 35 minutes, totaling 20 points and 12 assists, albeit against one of the worst defensive teams league-wide in the Wizards. Cunningham and the Pistons will now face the Thunder, who rank in the league's top five in Offensive (119.7) and Defensive Rating (111.0).

Beal was diagnosed with a nasal fracture after suffering the initial injury in Friday's loss. If he is ruled out, Durant could revert to the increased-usage role he had earlier in the season. In games that Beal has missed, Durant has seen a +5.0% usage rate increase and has averaged 20.0 field goal attempts per game. The Suns will face the Magic, who have lost seven of their last 10 games. Phoenix faced Orlando one time this season and won by five points, and Sunday's game will be the two teams' final meeting of the regular season.

The Trail Blazers have lost three of their last four games as they continue a tough season. Portland is already dealing with a few extended absences, and they'll now have tons of uncertainty regarding starter availability on Sunday. They'll face the Bulls, who have won half of their outings this month but are currently riding a two-game skid. Chicago allows the fewest points per contest (21.4) to point guards, so Simons will have a tough matchup if he is made available.
