The Detroit Pistons won their third straight last night and it wasn’t a surprise, as they win every game in which Jalen Duren scores at least 20 points.
That’s been the case so far this season, as Detroit is a remarkable 11-0 when their starting center scores 20 or more points, which he did last night, putting in 23 points on just 10 shots.
Duren has already shown he was smart to bet on himself when he didn’t get the extension offer he wanted from the Pistons, as he may now be on his way to a max contract, a price the Pistons are willing to pay if they have found their second star.
