The statline.
The best shooter in the league.
Cunningham is in her eighth season and she has a clear job in Indiana. She has played 35 of the team's 37 games and started only 3 of them, averaging 23.3 minutes off the bench.
What she does in those minutes is shoot, and nobody in the league does it better from range. Her 45.8 percent from three, 60 made from 131 attempts, is the top mark in the WNBA this season. Her overall field goal percentage is 48.4 and she is at 88.6 percent from the line.
The counting stats stay small because the minutes do. 8.8 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.2 assists a game. She also keeps the ball safe, with only 25 turnovers all season.
The number that argues for her is the plus minus. Indiana are +95 with her on the court across 816 minutes. For a bench player on a team sitting first in the Eastern Conference at 24-13, that is a real contribution.
A league leading shooter who comes off the bench. Indiana are a plus 95 across her 816 minutes, and she has made 60 threes without ever being handed a starting job.
Her minutes move around, so her scoring does too. In the last six games she went from zero points to 13. The three point attempts are the thing to watch, because almost all her scoring comes from behind the line or the free throw stripe. This is editorial reading of the numbers, not betting advice.

Where things stand.
A quiet night at the end of a hot week
Cunningham went scoreless in the 91-85 loss at Dallas on 21/08/2026. She missed all 4 of her shots in 15 minutes, and every one of them was a three point attempt.
That came three days after her best game of the run. On 18/08/2026 at Toronto she scored 13 points on 3-4 shooting and made all 3 of her three point attempts in a 101-95 win.
The swing between those two nights is the whole story of her season. When the shots drop she changes a game in 20 minutes. When they do not, the line stays blank. Indiana are still first in the Eastern Conference on 24-13.
