Duren's established scoring volume can clear the threshold without requiring an improvement on his prior-season production.
19.5 PTS · 28.2 MIN · 70 GAMES — Duren averaged 19.5 points in 28.2 minutes across 70 games last season. An expected 29-minute workload gives him a familiar amount of court time rather than requiring an unusually long appearance.
11.5 FGA · 23.6% USAGE — Duren's 11.5 attempts per game and 23.6% usage show that his scoring was supported by recurring touches, not only occasional putbacks. Detroit identifies him as a primary complement to Cunningham, keeping interior finishing central to his offensive role.
Boston can interrupt the passing lanes into the paint and make Duren finish through its interior defense. Early fouls or shorter stints could redirect center minutes and scoring opportunities to Collins, while a slow game limits replacement possessions.
Settlement Rule: CASHES JALEN DUREN FULL GAME POINTS OVER 16.5 WITH AT LEAST 17 POINTS; PUSH IMPOSSIBLE.
