Pistons' Jalen Duren: Held in check during narrow loss
Rotowire
Duren totaled 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-1 FT) and four rebounds across 22 minutes during Friday's 131-129 loss to the Jazz.
Jusuf Nurkic and Lauri Markkanen had Duren's number during the upset, as the youngster cooled off after a solid run of production. He was in the midst of a four-game double-double streak coming into Friday's game and was essentially Detroit's second-highest producer during that stretch. Despite the loss, Detroit remains a force to be reckoned with in the Eastern Conference, and Duren's improvement this season is key to the team's success.

Pistons' Jalen Duren: Extends double-double streak in win
Rotowire
Duren logged 23 points (10-15 FG, 3-7 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists and two blocks across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 136-127 win over the Kings.
Duren logged his fourth consecutive double-double during the victory, increasing his double-double total to 17 on the season. Although Precious Achiuwa stepped up for the Kings, Duren was especially effective in finding the bottom of the basket and controlling the tempo in the paint. The underrated center is a significant part of Detroit's ascent to the top of the Eastern Conference, and the combined performances of Duren and the rest of the starting unit have led to an 8-2 run in December.
