Pistons
The Pistons exercised the fourth-year option on center Jalen Duren on Monday. The 20-year-old averaged a double-double last season (13.8 points, 11.6 rebounds). He also significantly improved his free-throw percentage from his rookie campaign. While the franchise sees potential in Duren, he hasn't logged more than 67 games in each of his first two seasons in the National Basketball Association. Fantasy managers should keep that in mind, although he'll be a consistent fantasy performer whenever he's on the floor during the 2024-25 campaign.

Jalen Duren "Scratching The Surface"
According to Detroit Pistons head coach JB Bickerstaff, center Jalen Duren still has untapped potential. "And then Jalen Duren, I think we're just scratching the surface with what I think he's going to be able to do," said Bickerstaff during a recent podcast. "He's really, really ball-skilled." The 2022 No. 13 overall pick had the best season of his career in 2023-24, averaging 13.8 points and 11.6 rebounds. However, he still has some work to do, especially on the defensive end. Duren's durability has also been questioned, with the 20-year-old playing 128 games in his first two seasons. But with Bickerstaff at the helm, a coach who oversaw the development of Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen in Cleveland, Duren has a chance to improve statistically in 2024-25.

Jalen Duren Will Not Play Friday
Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (back) is out for Friday's contest against the Dallas Mavericks. The 20-year-old put up a terrific game on Thursday versus the Chicago Bulls, scoring 20 points and pulling down 11 rebounds. However, the Pistons will let their young center rest and recover from low back spasms. The Pistons sit in last place in the Eastern Conference and do not have much to play for as the season winds down. With Duren sidelined, expect James Wiseman to take on a much bigger role.

Jalen Duren Tagged As Questionable For Friday
Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (back) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The big man was able to play 31 minutes during Thursday's loss. It appears Duren picked up a minor back injury in the process. If he sits, James Wiseman figures to move into the starting five and get increased playing time. He'll have low-end streaming appeal if Duren is out.

Jalen Duren Off The Injury Report For Tuesday
Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (ankle) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's meeting with the 76ers, suggesting he will play. He didn't suit up for Sunday's loss to the Brooklyn Nets because of a sprained left ankle. As a result, James Wiseman got the start but finished with only four points, five rebounds, and one steal. But now that Duren is expected to return on Tuesday, Wiseman won't see much interest from DFS managers. However, Chimezie Metu, averaging 13.0 points and 6.5 rebounds in the last four games, could stay involved, even more so if Cade Cunningham (knee) misses another contest.

Jalen Duren Good To Go Wednesday
Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (tooth) will be available for Wednesday's game against Atlanta. He lost a tooth and was limited to only five minutes against Memphis on Monday, but Duren isn't on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's matchup. The young big man has had an impressive campaign and should enjoy his battle with the Hawks. Centers are shooting 58.7 percent against Atlanta this season, and only four teams have given up more rebounds to opposing fives.

Jalen Duren Practices After Losing Tooth
Detroit Pistons head coach Monty Williams said center Jalen Duren (mouth) practiced on Tuesday. After losing a tooth in a collision with Jaren Jackson Jr. early in Monday's loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, Duren looks to be on the right path to suiting up for Wednesday's tilt against the Atlanta Hawks. The last-place Pistons could always exercise caution with their 20-year-old franchise big man, however, and they will submit their official injury report later on Tuesday. In eight games prior to going down against Memphis, Duren averaged 15.0 points on 65.7% shooting from the floor, 13.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 0.9 blocks with seven double-doubles during this stretch. He would be a strong play in all fantasy settings if he is available against the Hawks, who rank 27th in opponent field-goal percentage (49.3%) in 2023-24.

Jalen Duren Unable To Return
Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (tooth) has officially been ruled out for the rest of Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The big man was questionable to return after he lost a tooth during a collision with Jaren Jackson Jr. during Monday's game. The team has decided to hold him out for the rest of the game, but Duren shouldn't miss time because of this issue. In the meantime, James Wiseman and Chimezie Metu should see increased playing time with Duren unavailable.

Jalen Duren Listed As Available
Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (back) is listed as available to play on Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Duren will return from a three-game absence due to lower back spasms, bouncing James Wiseman from Detroit's starting lineup in the process. Although Minnesota is giving up the sixth-fewest DraftKings points to enemy centers, Duren's matchup outlook would greatly improve if interior presence Rudy Gobert (ribs) sits out on Wednesday. The 20-year-old 2022 first-round pick has notched 12 double-doubles post-All-Star break, averaging 13.5 points while shooting 60.5% from the floor, 11.8 boards, 2.5 assists, and 0.9 blocks through his last 15 outings. He's unlikely to have his minutes restricted, but a clash with the first-place T-Wolves presents significant blowout risk that could affect his playing time.

Jalen Duren Will Miss Third Straight Game
Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the New York Knicks. Out for a third straight contest due to lower back spasms, Duren sets his sights towards Wednesday's tilt against the Minnesota Timberwolves as his next shot to return. The last-place Pistons have no incentive to rush their 20-year-old franchise big man back into the fold, though. Former No. 2 overall pick James Wiseman should continue getting the nod at the starting spot down low in the Motor City for however long Duren remains inactive. Covering his last six games with Duren out of the lineup this season, Wiseman is averaging 14.7 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in 26.3 minutes. He's a strong streamer in points settings but faces a nightmarish task against a New York group yielding the fewest DraftKings points to opposing centers.
