Duren is questionable for Friday's game against the Warriors with right ankle soreness.
Analyse
This sounds like the Pistons are contemplating a maintenance day for the second leg of this back-to-back set. During Thursday's 117-95 win over the Wizards, the big man finished with 24 points (9-15 FG, 6-8 FT), 11 rebounds and two steals in 25 minutes, but Duren didn't play in the fourth quarter, with coach J.B. Bickerstaff saying the team was just being cautious with a big lead. Paul Reed could see a considerable workload if Duren is unable to give it a go.

Double-doubles in victory
Duren finished Thursday's 117-95 win over the Wizards with 24 points (9-15 FG, 6-8 FT), 11 rebounds and two steals in 25 minutes.
Analyse
With Cade Cunningham (chest) sidelined, Duren took advantage of a favorable matchup and dropped a double-double in just three quarters of action during the front end of this back-to-back set. While Duren didn't play in the fourth quarter, coach J.B. Bickerstaff said the team was just being cautious with a big lead. The star center posted game highs in points and rebounds, securing his fifth consecutive double-double and eighth on the month. The 22-year-old also reached the 20-point threshold for a fourth straight game. Cunningham is set to be re-evaluated in two weeks and is in danger of missing the remainder of the regular season, opening the door for Duren to take on increased offensive responsibilities.

Powers Detroit to victory
Duren tallied 36 points (13-17 FG, 10-11 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and one block in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 130-117 win over Washington.
Analyse
Cade Cunningham (back) exited to the locker room in the first quarter and was quickly ruled out for the remainder of the night, and it was Duren who stepped up in a big way. He secured his fourth straight double-double and focused on getting to the charity stripe, attempting double-digit free throws for the third time in nine March outings. It doesn't look as though Cunningham will miss much time if any, but it was promising to see Duren take command on a night when Detroit was forced to play without its star point guard.

Collects another double-double
Duren produced 20 points (8-11 FG, 4-7 FT) and 11 rebounds in 37 minutes during Sunday's 119-108 loss to the Raptors.
Analyse
Duran is now up to 34 double-doubles on the campaign, which makes him 11 shy of setting a new career-high mark in his category with 15 games left to go in 2025-26. The All-Star big man has averaged 21.8 points, 9.5 rebounds and 1.5 blocks in 26.6 minutes per game in his last six contests, shooting a potent 70.3 percent from the field during this span.
