Cunningham (illness) is listed as probable to play in Monday's contest against the Rockets, John Reid of the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Analysis:

Cunningham missed Saturday's matchup with the Bucks due to an unknown illness. Assuming that Cunningham returns to action Monday as expected, he'll likely take back his starting role at small forward, pushing Alonzo Gee back to the bench. Cunningham is averaging just 4.3 points and 3.2 rebounds over 19.6 minutes per contest this season, making him a virtual non-entity in the fantasy realm.
