Jalen Duren with 30 points (10-12 FG) 10 rebounds 7 assists 2 blocks 2 steals in win vs Pelicans
The all star big man with the impressive game as the Pistons win another game without Cade Cunningham. Really impressive jump from Duren this year.

I feel like not enough people realize he’s genuinely been one of the best scorers in the NBA since the all-star break. 23.7 PPG (in only 28.8 MPG) on 70.6% TS in a 19 game sample size. He’s not just a rim runner too if you watch them he can actually face up and even go downhill from the 3pt line at times.
I believe he’s actually playing under a minutes restriction still while he’s out there killing it.
If so, he’s been under a minutes restriction for his entire career.
Is there a reason he doesn’t play more minutes?
My guess would be simply that he has 2 super high end backup centers behind him
That makes sense. Forgot about B ball Paul as well
The sport is named after the man, cant forget Bball
He’s dealt with a lot of ankle injuries relative to his age so far is my guess
What a year he has had. Been one of the best players to watch for sure!
Dudes only 22 as well. Hopefully a lot of room to improve.
He hit a couple middies tonight and though it wasnt the stingiest defense, if those can fall he’ll be a menace.
Pelicans had no hope while he was on the floor
9-3 without Cade right
10-3 if you include the game Cade went down, he only played 5 mins.
If Cade comes back healthy this Pistons team going to be dangerous in playoffs
Only fear is if he doesnt or even not his healthy self , we will have so many problems facing hornets
I think Hornets will move up to 7th seed at least
I hope dude , i really hope they do , I definitely want a series between pistons and hornets but we need cade healthy for that
He will soon be USA best big man
Has such nice touch for about the strongest dude in the league. Always believed in him.
