In the second quarter of Friday’s game against the Houston Rockets, Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren was ejected after being assessed a Flagrant 2 foul. Duren was at the top of key and cut to the basket. Amen Thompson was draped on him, so Duren elbowed Thompson in the head as he swung his arms over.

Prior to exiting, Duren contributed six points, six rebounds, a steal and a block in 12 minutes. Isaiah Stewart will be the main beneficiary and is coming off a game in which he produced 20 points, 10 rebounds, two assists and four blocks in 25 minutes.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
