The Pistons have essentially nothing to play for as a team the rest of the way having clinched the East's top seed. A handful of guys are doubtful. The Magic sit ninth in the East but only a game out of sixth and apparently will get guard Anthony Black back from injury for the first time in a month, although Franz Wagner is sitting out the second of a B2B. Yeah, I don't love playing a team on the B2B but I doubt the Pistons care that much tonight. Half-unit.

The Pistons center is averaging 21.8 ppg since the start of February, so this line is right there. But the Magic rank only behind the Thunder in ppg allowed to centers, and only behind the Clippers in ppg allowed to PFs. He's scored 16 in the last two meetings vs. the Magic. With Tobias Harris likely out for DET, the Magic can focus even more interior defensive efforts on Duren.

Jalen Duren has developed into an All-NBA caliber Center and has been vital in the Piston locking up the top seed in the Eastern Conference. With that said, this is a hefty combo line for the talented big man in what would certainly qualify has a difficult matchup against the Magic who surrender the second fewest PPG to opposing Centers. I expect this game to be paced down as well.
