Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (lower leg) will hop back into action on Monday against the Sacramento Kings. He is set to return from a one-game absence, having shaken off a questionable tag. On Monday, Duren has a chance to register his first five-game double-double streak of the season. He has averaged 15.8 points and 13.8 boards with 1.8 blocks over his past four appearances. Duren finished this season's first meeting with the Kings with 13 points and 10 rebounds. However, Domantas Sabonis, who leads the NBA in rebounding, skipped that game. Monday's battle on the boards promises to be more challenging for Duren.
Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (lower leg) has been listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Sacramento Kings and could miss his second consecutive game due to the same lower leg issue. The young big man has already hit a career-high in games played in a season and boasts averages of 11.9 points, 10.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 1.2 blocks per game. If he's unable to play on Monday, Isaiah Stewart should get another starting nod.

He serves as a great streaming option and a cheaper DFS option if he gets another start.

He'll sit this one out, but fantasy managers are hoping things aren't too serious. With Tobias Harris (heel) also out, the team will look to Isaiah Stewart and Ausar Thompson to handle most of the minutes at the four and the five spots, giving them both higher fantasy ceilings on Saturday night.
Jalen Duren Listed As Probable For Meeting With Kings
Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (ankle) is considered probable for Thursday's game against Sacramento. The talented big man is dealing with a right ankle sprain but is expected to play. Duren is a nightly double-double threat, averaging 9.0 points and 9.2 rebounds for the campaign with 1.1 blocks. Centers haven't been too productive against the Kings this season, but the hosts could be without Domantas Sabonis (illness) on Thursday. His absence would put Duren in a better position to perform.
Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (wrist) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Boston Celtics. The big man was tagged as questionable coming into this game, but Duren will officially sit out due to a wrist sprain. The loss of Duren should mean an increased role for Isaiah Stewart in the rotation. Stewart has been quiet lately but figures to have more fantasy value with an expanded role on Thursday. He's worth a look as a streaming option with Duren unavailable.
Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (wrist) is currently listed as questionable ahead of Thursday's game against the Boston Celtics. The big man was a late addition to the injury report due to a wrist issue. Duren missed some time in November due to a wrist sprain, so possibly this is related to his wrist sprain from last month.

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (ankle) will play on Tuesday against the Miami Heat. The 20-year-old tweaked his ankle during the November 6 meeting with the Charlotte Hornets and missed the last two games as a result. But now that Duren is back in the mix, fantasy managers can get him back in their starting lineups versus a Heat team that's struggled against opposing centers this season. With that in mind, his presence will result in fewer minutes for Isaiah Stewart (ankle), who was also cleared to play.
Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (ankle) is questionable heading into Tuesday's meeting with the Miami Heat. The 20-year-old sprained his ankle during the November 6 matchup with the Charlotte Hornets and has missed the last two games as a result. Fortunately, the questionable tag gives him a chance to play. If anything, it at least suggests he's moving in the right direction. If Duren can't suit up, Isaiah Stewart (ankle), who is probable, should continue to fill the void underneath the basket, giving him plenty of upside for fantasy managers. But if Stewart is sidelined as well, Paul Reed would see a surge in fantasy potential, even if it's only for one contest.
Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (ankle) is doubtful for Sunday's matchup versus the Rockets. The 21-year-old sprained his ankle in Wednesday's loss to the Charlotte Hornets, ending his night after only seven minutes of action. He didn't suit up on Friday against the Atlanta Hawks, resulting in Isaiah Stewart getting the start and finishing with a 10-point, 11-rebound double-double with one block. Assuming Duren is absent again on Sunday, Stewart will be worth starting in all fantasy setups.
Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (ankle) won't play in Friday's meeting with the visiting Hawks. He tweaked his ankle in Wednesday's one-point loss to the Charlotte Hornets, limiting him to just eight minutes of work. Isaiah Stewart got more involved, finishing with seven boards, six assists, one steal, and one block. Duren's next chance to get on the floor will be on Sunday versus Houston. In the meantime, Stewart is worth streaming in any fantasy format, and he'll likely draw value attention from DFS participants. In addition, Paul Reed, who had 13 points in 12 minutes versus Charlotte, should be viewed as a risky, high-upside option.
