Mon Apr 7 | 18:52 | Jalen Duren Cleared To Play Monday |
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. |

Mon Apr 7 | 16:16 | Jalen Duren Tagged As Questionable On Monday |
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. In their last game against the Memphis Grizzlies, Stewart registered 16 points, eight rebounds, four assists, two steals, and three blocks. He serves as a great streaming option and a cheaper DFS option if he gets another start. |

Sat Apr 5 | 18:39 | Jalen Duren Ruled Out Versus Memphis |
Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (lower leg) won't play on Saturday against Memphis. He recently had 21 points, 18 rebounds, and four blocks in Friday's win over the Raptors. 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. |

Thu Dec 26 2024 | 09:39 | 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. |

Thu Dec 12 2024 | 18:22 | Jalen Duren Could Miss Thursday's Game |
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. If Duren sits, Isaiah Stewart would likely see an increased role in the rotation. Stewart has been quiet lately, but could be worth a look as a streaming option with extra playing time. |

Tue Nov 12 2024 | 17:44 | Jalen Duren Back On Tuesday Night |
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. |

Mon Nov 11 2024 | 20:07 | Jalen Duren Questionable Versus The Heat |
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. |

Sat Nov 9 2024 | 23:26 | Jalen Duren Expected To Miss Another Game |
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. |

Fri Nov 8 2024 | 17:22 | Jalen Duren Ruled Out On Friday Night |
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. |

Fri Nov 8 2024 | 12:28 | Jalen Duren Considered Doubtful On Friday |
Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (ankle) has been listed as doubtful ahead of the Friday night matchup with the Atlanta Hawks. The young big man originally sprained his left ankle during the game against the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday in the opening quarter. He didn't return to that game and it looks like he'll need to miss at least one game. In his place, Isaiah Stewart will likely take over the starting center spot while Paul Reed gets some minutes in relief. Stewart would serve as the better streaming option for managers in need. |

Thu Nov 7 2024 | 09:42 | Jalen Duren Considered Day-To-Day With Ankle Injury |
Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (ankle) was forced to make an early exit against Charlotte on Wednesday. He sprained his left ankle early in the game, finishing scoreless in eight minutes with three rebounds and one assist. The team announced that Duren will be considered day-to-day. It seems like the talented big man escaped serious injury on Wednesday, but he might still have to sit out some games. Paul Reed entered the rotation on Wednesday and played well at both ends, while Isaiah Stewart could get extra work on Friday versus Atlanta. The Hawks are giving up the ninth-most fantasy points to opposing centers this season, making this a good matchup for Detroit's big men. A meeting with Houston on Sunday is also a favorable spot for them. |

Mon Oct 21 2024 | 20:46 | Detroit Picks Up Option On Jalen Duren |
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. |

Fri Apr 12 2024 | 19:56 | 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. |

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. |

Mon Apr 8 2024 | 19:58 | 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. |

Wed Apr 3 2024 | 09:29 | 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. |

Tue Apr 2 2024 | 13:05 | 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. |

Mon Apr 1 2024 | 20:54 | 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. |

Wed Mar 27 2024 | 14:28 | 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. |
