  Achiuwa contributed 17 points (7-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds and one block over 27 minutes during Sunday's 117-103 loss to Minnesota.

  Achiuwa ended Wednesday's 121-95 loss to Houston with 10 points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds and two steals in 19 minutes. Achiuwa has now scored in double digits in four of his last five appearances, averaging 9.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.6 blocks across 24.2 minutes in that span. He is an intriguing add in deeper leagues, especially while Domantas Sabonis (knee) remains sidelined, but the emergence of Maxime Raynaud may potentially eat into Achiuwa's minutes.

• Kings' Precious Achiuwa: Logs 14 points off bench in loss

  25D ago • By RotoWire

  Achiuwa closed with 14 points (6-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 112-100 loss to Phoenix. Although Drew Eubanks logged nine rebounds in limited action, Achiuwa played 11 more minutes and finished with a much higher point total. Eubanks hasn't been an effective answer for Domantas Sabonis' (knee) absence, and it wouldn't be surprising to see a first-unit switch between Eubanks and Achiuwa in the near future.
