This means Duren should be re-evaluated on Jan. 10, with the Pistons playing four games before then, including a game on that day. Isaiah Stewart should occupy the starting center minutes in his absence, with Paul Reed filling out the reserve role.

Duren rolled his right ankle while driving in for a layup late in the second quarter. While he would be in the lineup to begin the third quarter, the Pistons center would depart shortly thereafter and has since been shut down for the night. Paul Reed has entered the rotation, and he would have streaming value if Duren misses time and Tobias Harris (hip) remains out.

The only negative for Duren on Tuesday was his turnover count, as he was tied with Cade Cunningham for the team-high of five. However, fantasy managers benefited from the rebounds, assists and steals, with Duren recording a new career-high in the latter category. The Pistons’ starting center continues to hover just outside the top-50 in eight-cat formats, aligning with his Yahoo! ADP (55).

Duren has recorded a double-double in five of his last six appearances, with Friday’s loss to the Jazz being the exception. If there has been an issue for the Pistons center recently, it has been at the foul line, though he made both of his attempts on Sunday. Duren is shooting 60 percent from the line over the past two weeks, a big reason why he has provided eighth-round value in eight-cat formats during this stretch. For the season, Duren is shooting a respectable 72.9 percent from the charity stripe. The Pistons end their west coast trip on Tuesday against the Lakers, the first of three games they’ll play in Week 11.

For the third time this season, Duren has recorded a double-double in four consecutive games. The physicality he and the other Pistons’ interior players brought proved too much for the Kings to handle on Tuesday, as Detroit extended its lead atop the Eastern Conference to three games in the loss column. Duren has been close to a top-50 player in eight- and nine-cat formats this season, and it would be unsurprising if he cracked that threshold at some point and remained there.

Duren’s 26 points were a game-high in the eight-point win over the Trail Blazers. Detroit led by as much as 21 in the third quarter, but found themselves trailing with under four minutes left in regulation. Duren was one of six Pistons in double figures as they begin a west coast trip. Detroit will face the Kings in the second game of a back-to-back Tuesday.

Duren was initially probable for Monday’s game, so the status upgrade was expected. Isaiah Stewart will remain with the second unit, while Paul Reed’s opportunities will be limited.

Duren is dealing with a left hip contusion, but the probable tag is a good sign regarding his availability for Monday’s game. If he’s unable to play, Isaiah Stewart would move into the starting lineup, with Paul Reed serving as his backup.

Duren has now recorded back-to-back double-doubles after failing to record at least 10 rebounds in four of the five games before that. The 22-year-old center scored 19 points in 25 minutes and got to rest with the Pistons up big late. Detroit has four games in Week 10, starting with a contest against the Trail Blazers Monday.

After a streak of four straight double-doubles, Duren entered Saturday having totaled 14 rebounds in his last two outings. Rebounding wasn’t a problem against the Bucks, especially with Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo unavailable due to injury. Duren has recorded at least 16 rebounds in five games this season, with Saturday’s effort being the first since November 26. The Pistons play once during Week 8 but will have four games in fantasy leagues that combine Weeks 8 and 9 due to the NBA Cup knockout rounds.

After a one-game absence due to a left leg contusion, Duren was back in the lineup and made his presence felt immediately. He was Detroit’s leading rebounder and helped the Pistons dominate the glass; they won the rebounding matchup 60-34. Duren has a double-double in four straight games and will look to keep that going against the Bucks on Wednesday.

Initially probable for Monday’s game after missing Saturday’s win over the Heat, Duren is officially good to go. His return means Isaiah Stewart heads back to the bench, while Paul Reed may fall out of the rotation entirely. Stewart is worth holding onto in deeper leagues, as he will still have a prominent role in the rotation.

Duren missed Saturday’s game against Miami but is expected to be back in the lineup to take on Atlanta. His return will push Isaiah Stewart back to the bench, though he will still play a significant reserve role. Paul Reed will likely be pushed out of the rotation.

Duren had a double-double with four blocks in Friday’s loss to the Magic. The 22-year-old center will miss Saturday’s second game of a back-to-back against the Heat with a leg injury. Isaiah Stewart figures to start while Paul Reed picks up additional minutes off the bench.

Duren now has 11 double-doubles this season, including one in each of his last three appearances. The Pistons center finished Friday’s close defeat with a complete line, minus the three-pointers, and his four blocks were a season-high. In fact, this was the first time Duren had recorded at least three blocks in a game this season. Up to 18 blocks in 17 games, Duren has the potential to be an even better fantasy option than he’s been. Hopefully, the athleticism will translate into defensive production more than it has so far.

Duren did not have a great night shooting the basketball, and he failed to record any defensive stats. However, he did grab a game-high 16 rebounds, the fifth time this season he’s grabbed at least 15. Based on his Yahoo! ADP of 56, Duren has exceeded expectations, as he’s been a top-40 player in eight- and nine-cat formats. Given his skill set, expecting Duren to maintain that production level is not unrealistic.

Duren extended his streak of double-digit scoring performances to 11 games on Monday, thanks to another efficient shooting performance. He also made his way back to double figures in rebounds after two straight games in single digits, and chipped in a pair of assists along the way. His production remains a significant part of the Pistons’ success, who have now secured 13 straight wins. Fantasy managers shouldn’t expect any dropoff in Duren’s performance as the season grows longer.

With the Pistons adding Tobias Harris and Jaden Ivey to the mix on Saturday, Duren missed out on a few minutes despite not sharing a position with either of those two. He played 27 minutes against the Bucks, two fewer than his tally in each of the prior two games and his season average. However, Duren still provided solid statistical value, so fantasy managers have nothing to worry about. With Isaiah Stewart playing more of his minutes at the five, Paul Reed (two points and one rebound) only played five minutes on Saturday. There’s no need to hold onto Reed with the Pistons this close to whole.

Duren’s double-double streak came to an end, but he was still able to make a big impact as a scorer, as he has all month. In November, he has scored at least 20 points in six of his eight appearances, with three 30-point performances included. He’s averaging career-highs in points and rebounds, which has led to a dominant fantasy season from him to this point.

Duren returned after missing two games with a sprained right ankle. The 21-year-old center had 31 points in 28 minutes as the Pistons won their 10th consecutive game. Duren has taken on more of a scoring role this season with the Pistons missing multiple other starters. That should continue as we wait for Detroit to get back to full strength.

Duren is good to go after missing two games with a sprained right ankle. He’ll be in the starting lineup, with Paul Reed heading back to the bench. Joining Duren in the starting five are Isaiah Stewart, Ron Holland II, Duncan Robinson and Daniss Jenkins. Reed is worth holding onto in deep leagues since Duren and Stewart are starting, but his ceiling is limited.

Duren has been sidelined for Detroit’s last two games with a sprained right ankle, with Paul Reed replacing him in the starting lineup. With Tobias Harris (ankle) still out, Reed should get minutes off the bench if Duren returns. Isaiah Stewart started alongside Duren before the starting center’s ankle injury, which frees up additional minutes for Reed as the third big.

Duren will miss a second straight game. Paul Reed started in Detroit’s last game, but with Isaiah Stewart (ankle) available, Reed should end up returning to a reserve role, with Stewart starting next to Ron Holland in the frontcourt.

Duren missed Wednesday’s game, which allowed Paul Reed to enter the starting unit. He took advantage of the opportunity and if both Duren and Isaiah Stewart (ankle) remain out again, Reed would have appeal as a streaming option. However, if either big is back, Reed will likely return to a reserve role.

Duren and Cade Cunningham were absent from Pistons shootaround Wednesday morning. The 21-year-old center sprained his ankle in the final minute of Monday’s overtime victory over the Wizards. With the Pistons dealing with a laundry list of other injuries, it would be no surprise if they gave their two young stars the night off Wednesday. Paul Reed would likely start if Duren is ruled out.

Duren broke a streak of three consecutive games with at least 20 points. The 21-year-old center had five turnovers after having seven total turnovers in his last five games. Otherwise, Duren was a force on the boards with 14 rebounds and had two steals on the defensive end. The Pistons will given Duren every chance to continue his hot start to the season given the injuries they’ve had up and down the roster. He’ll be back in action on Wednesday against the Bulls.

Duren was a force in the paint on Sunday, leading all players with 16 boards while shooting an impressive percentage from the field. Add in the four “stocks,” and this was another excellent night to have the Pistons center rostered. Through ten games, of which Detroit has won eight, Duren is providing top-20 value in eight- and nine-cat formats, exceeding his Yahoo! ADP of 56. He’ll look to continue this hot start on Monday when the Pistons face the rebuilding Wizards.

On the heels of a dominant 20-point, 20-rebound performance against the Jazz, Duren once again logged a massive double-double on Friday in a Pistons victory. The fourth-year center utilized efficient shooting to reach the 30-point mark for the second time this season while collecting double-digit rebounds for the fifth time. He has made a massive leap as a scorer this year, which has been aided by improvements in volume and accuracy from the free-throw line. His strong start to the season has played a big role in Detroit’s early success.

Just three days after Duren set a career-high with 33 points against the Mavericks, he has another massive game against the Jazz on Wednesday. The 21-year-old center joined Giannis Antetokounmpo as the only players in the NBA this season with a game with at least 20 points and at least 20 rebounds. Duren continues to take on a bigger role in the Pistons’ offense with Jaden Ivey (knee) and Malik Beasley absent. He’s turning into a fantasy steal if he can maintain this level of play somehow.
