Even though the impressive double-double is the first thing that jumps out, as Duren grabbed his third-best rebounding output of the campaign, it's hard not to look at his contributions in other categories, mainly assists and blocks. Duren is one of the best two-way big men in the NBA and is ending the regular season on a strong note. He's recorded five double-doubles over his last six outings, averaging 16.5 points, 11.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.2 blocks per game in that stretch.

The big man continues to play at a high level on both ends of the court and is ending the regular season on a strong note. He's tallied four double-doubles over his last five outings, averaging 15.6 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.6 blocks per game in that span.
