Stat line: 19 points, 20 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 steals and 5 blocks

Andre Drummond is one of the most underrated centers in the league as he does so much but gets so little praise. The constant double-double threat is one of the key reasons for Pistons' success.

After his 14 points, 13 rebounds performance in the one-point loss against the Hornets, Drummond had himself yet another great night and had 19 points to go along with 20 rebounds to put together a double-double.

He was also a dominant force on the defensive end of the floor as he had as many as 5 blocks and 3 steals. With under 2 minutes remaining and the Pistons up by 9, Drummond had a huge clutch block on Jayson Tatum at the rim and that was also the dagger.
