J.Duren Double-Double (Yes)-130

Duren has a DD in 9/12 games since the break where he's played 23+ MIN - AVG 14.3/11.1 on 8.3 FGA and ~20.3 RC. NOP is a great rebounding MU for C - they allow the most RPG to C on the season and over the L15 games. L15 they rank middle of the pack in PPG to C and are bottom-10 in FREQ% less than 10 FT but I think the emphasis here is on Cade, as they also rank bottom-10 in pullup FREQ% since the break and 4th lowest PnR FREQ% to the BH. They also rank bottom-10 in FREQ% to the roller but when they do allow those opportunities, they allow the highest PPP. Duren has 10+ PTS in 15/18 vs. the T10 in PPP w/ 20+ MIN. NOP do allow the 2nd highest putback FREQ% - Duren AVG the 4th most putback possessions per game. 10+ PTS in 14/18 vs. the T10 in FREQ%. Missi is available and isn't a big who stretches the floor, so Duren should always be in rebound position. Since Murray went down, NOP rank bottom-10 in pullup/PnR FREQ%, so Duren shouldn't be put into too many actions either. He has 10+ REB in 17/21 vs. teams T10 in RPG to C w/ 20+ MIN.
