Precious Achiuwa News
New York Knicks forward/center Precious Achiuwa will replace OG Anunoby (hamstring) in the starting lineup on Friday against Indiana. The 24-year-old played only four minutes in the series opener but now finds himself in a big role, as the Knicks have also lost Mitchell Robinson (ankle). During the regular season, Achiuwa posted 12.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, 1.8 blocks, and 1.1 steals as a starter.
The Knicks acquired forward/center Precious Achiuwa from the Raptors on Saturday as part of the deal that resulted in the exchange of OG Anunoby, Immanuel Quickley, and RJ Barrett. Without question, Achiuwa has had flashes of production over the years. He averaged 9.2 points and 6.0 rebounds last season. However, he was much more productive in his 12 appearances in the starting lineup, logging 13.4 points, 9.7 rebounds, and 1.3 steals. Although the 24-year-old may continue to fight for minutes in New York, he has a better chance of getting involved on a routine basis, considering center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) won't be back this season.
Toronto Raptors forward Precious Achiuwa (knee) has been battling a handful of different ailments to start the year, the latest one being right-knee soreness, which has put him on the injury report as questionable for Friday. He has only seen around 19 minutes per contest this season when he is on the floor, so he hasn't been able to contribute to fantasy teams as much as he has over the last couple of seasons. If he remains sidelined against the Bulls, Otto Porter Jr. and Chris Boucher should see some extra minutes off of the bench.
Toronto Raptors center Precious Achiuwa (groin) will return from a five-game absence on Saturday night against Boston. He was out with a groin strain, although he had been flirting with playing over the last few games. Achiuwa has averaged 8.0 rebounds and 7.3 points in his three appearances this season, so he provides some value to fantasy managers in 12-team leagues and up. At the same time, his return will force Chris Boucher to return to the bench, meaning he should be dumped from all fantasy rosters.
