2025 Fantasy Outlook
Duren continues making small strides in his game, but his defensive issues either get him played off the floor or in foul trouble. Last season, that limited him to 26.1 minutes per game. He was still able to post strong numbers, averaging 11.8 points on 69.2 FG% and 66.9 FT%, 10.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.1 blocks and 0.7 steals. Given that Duren won't even be 22 years old by the time the season starts, and he's already averaging 1.2 fantasy points per minute, there's a ton of upside for managers to be attracted to. If he's able to break through and consistently see minutes in the low-30s, he'll be one of the best centers in fantasy basketball. Over the past two seasons, he's ranked third in total rebound percentage (22.2%; 22.0%), and he was second in the league in true shooting percentage (70.3%) last year. Read Past Outlooks

Limited in return
Duren finished with eight points (3-6 FG, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 13 minutes during Tuesday's 118-100 preseason loss to the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Duren, who had been bothered by a hamstring complaint, made his preseason debut Tuesday. He was limited to just 13 minutes, likely part of his return-to-action plan. Despite the reduced playing time, Duren appeared healthy and was active on both ends of the floor. Barring any setbacks, expect to see him in the starting lineup come Opening Night.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2023
2022
Ankle and back injuries, limiting Duren to 61 games, dampened a great season from the second-year center. He became a full-time starter and set career highs in points (13.8), rebounds (11.6), assists (2.4) and free-throw percentage (79.0%). At 20 years old, Duren was already one of the best rebounders in the league, finishing third in total rebound percentage (22.2), grabbing 14.4 boards per 36 minutes. His strong finishing ability (61.9 FG%) combined with his above-average free-throw percentage for a center makes him one of the most efficient bigs. What's holding Duren back at the moment is his below-par defense. Despite being a physical force, he averaged just 0.8 blocks and 0.5 steals last season. Considering he averaged about two blocks per game as a one-and-done college player at Memphis, Duren's defensive performance as a pro has been disappointing, but it leaves some hope for improvement. Ultimately, he's already established himself as a nightly 15-and-15 threat, and if he can work his way into playing minutes in the mid-30s with added skill, there's plenty of upside to be unlocked. Fantasy managers should feel pretty comfortable if he's their squad's best center, though the blocks category might need to be shored up.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Must decide when to negotiate
Duren must decide when it will be the right time to negotiate a contract extension with the Pistons, according to Omari Sankofa II of The Detroit Free Press.
ANALYSIS
Duren has two options to negotiate a new deal with the Pistons, as he could work on one during the summer but can also negotiate it in the summer of 2026 as a restricted free agent. Duren is widely expected to remain with Detroit and should be a long-term building block due to his two-way ability, but the timing of the potential extension remains uncertain due to the organization's salary cap situation.
