Leg 1: Jalen Duren to Record a Double Double

First up is the Pistons big man who's emergence this season has been a big part of the Pistons improvement.

The books were sleeping on Jalen Duren early this season, regularly setting his Double Double odds in the +150 to +200 range and we were cleaning up with our NBA cheat Sheet regularly projecting him within 2 boards of hitting double digits.

The Knicks made light work of the Pistons in Game 1 and Duren struggled to hit his marks, only earning a pair of free throws and grabbing six boards. Game 2 was a different story as he dropped a 13 point, 12-rebound double double en route to a Pistons road win, a formula they'll look to replicate in Game 3 adn take a series lead.

We project Duren for a 13 point- 11-rebound performance tonight to get us started.

Leg 2: Chet Holmgren to Record a Double Double

Next, we'll head to Memphis where the Thunder will aim to keep rolling over the Grizzlies despite the change of scenery.

Young big man Chet Holmgren is on the path to stardom and could become a perennial Defensive Player of the Year candidate on his current trajectory. 

He's been excellent through two games in this series, with near identical PTS/REB lines in each game: 19/10 in Game and 20/11 in Game 2, and he played just 21 minutes in Game 1.

The Grizzlies have no answer for the Thunder, who have nabbed 50+ boards in both games, leading the way for Holmgren to rack up double digits in both categories.

The DimersBOT projects him for 18 points and 9 rebounds, just shy, but putting him firmly on "Double Double Watch" as he's within 2 of double digits.

Leg 3: Nikola Jokic to Record a Triple Double

We'll close it out with the triple double maestro himself, Nikola Jokic.

The Nuggets hit the road to face the Clippers as Jokic looks to continue his stat-stuffing output - one rebound shy in Game 1 has kept him from back-to-back triple doubles, a feat he achieved 34 times in the regular season.

Jokic has played nearly every minute of this series so far and should continue to be the floor general guiding his team to successful possessions. The Clippers have been unable to stifle him in any facet so far and this is looking like the most competitive series of the bunch meaning blowouts and lost minutes should ne of little concern.

Our model is projecting Jokic well within Triple Double territory tonight, with a line of 28 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists.
